6.3Tasks

Use Tasks to keep track of things you need to do. A task can occur once or repeatedly (recurring). You can set reminders for your tasks and you can organize them using categories.

Your tasks are displayed in a task list. Overdue tasks are displayed in red.

To create a task:

1.Tap Start > Programs > Tasks.

2.Tap New, enter a subject for the task, and fill in information such as start and due dates and priority.

3.Specify the type of category for your task, so that it can be grouped with other related tasks. Tap Categories, and then select a preset category (Business, Holiday, Personal, or Seasonal), or tap New to create your own category.

4.When you are finished, tap OK.

Tip:

You can easily create a short, to-do type of task. Simply tap the Tap here to add a new task box, enter a subject, and press the ENTER button. If the task entry box is not available, tap Menu > Options and select the Show Tasks entry bar check box.

To change the priority of a task:

Before you can sort tasks by priority, you need to specify a priority level for each task.

1.Tap Start > Programs > Tasks.

2.Tap the task for which you want to change the priority.

3.Tap Edit, and select a priority level in the Priority box.

4.Tap OK to return to the task list.

All new tasks are assigned a Normal priority by default.
