Populate "notes" with tasks?

[Doug Walch]

Is there a way that I can enter tasks into the task section of outlook and
have it automatically be created in "notes" as well so that I would have a
note on my desktop each month listing what needed to be done that month.
Ideally those items that were completed would be removed from the note as
they were completed as well or at least make mention on the note that they
were completed. I know I can just click and drag each of the tasks into the
notes section but if I do that with all the tasks together it just puts all
of them on 1 note with all the information (including comments) which makes
for a huge note that you have to scroll through.

What would be ideal is if I could pick and choose what went onto the note -
so say just the subject and due date go onto a note and all the uncompleted
tasks with the same start date go on 1 note when that start date hits and
stay on until the task is completed. Then when something gets completed it
is removed from the note. I know that's a big request but it would be quite
handy!

1 other thing would be if I just use the "outlook today" part and the list
of tasks there I notice that it lists all of the tasks - and while I can
sort by date it still shows everything and you can't sort by "completed" vs
"uncompleted" - so if I complete a task it stays there just crossed through
unless I remove it from the tasks section. I like to keep my tasks for
awhile since sometimes things come up in the future and I need to look back
and find out when I completed something and I'm thinking that this will mean
the list on my outlook today eventually will be huge and cluttered up with
finished and unfinished - so is there a way to have it only show uncompleted
tasks?
