Microsoft OneNote 2016 – Create Outlook Tasks

As you take notes and plan projects in OneNote, you might wonder how to manage deadlines and remember the things on your to-do list. One way is to create Outlook tasks. Then you can view and track those tasks in Outlook and even get reminders.

Create an Outlook task in OneNote:

1. In OneNote, select the words that you want to be your task.

2. In the menu that appears, click the down-arrow next to the Outlook Tasks button and choose a reminder.

a. A flag appears next to your task in OneNote and your task is added to Outlook.

Tip: You can also use this menu to add note tags. Note tags are handy for things like creating to-do lists or marking items as important. Unlike Outlook task flags, note tags are a feature of OneNote. You can tag action items in meeting notes in OneNote, but they won’t show up in Outlook.

 

You can also:

·      Find a task in OneNote.

·      Mark a task as complete.

·      Delete a task.
