Phone Message Log

[Bob]

Does anyone know of a template for an Office product that one can use in an
office environment where someone takes a call and creates a log of messages
for a user? I envision the equivalent of the old fashioned secretary taking
messages for the staff on paper slips put on someones chair. This electronic
version would create the initial message from a simple pulldown list of users
a message written along with a date/time stamp and a return phone #. Once
opened there would be a received date/time stamp and an action taken check
box and note area. In a fast and sensitive enviornment this could be very
helpful.

Thanks

You could do all of that with an Excel spreadsheet.

JoAnn,

Thanks, but I had a more robust idea of similar to the slips left on your
chair, but with a value added twist of sending the messages to the
individual, who would log them as received and a more idea. I know one
could use email, and excel to achieve something similar, I am looking for a
seamless application.

You could do all of that with an Excel spreadsheet.
