Assigning Tasks to Others

graphics/microsoft124.gif

Because most projects involve the efforts and input of several people, it will often be necessary to delegate responsibilities for a task to other members on your team of contacts. In Outlook, you can assign and send a task assignment to a co-worker. To assign a task, you open the Task dialog box, click the Assign Task button, and then assign the task to someone in your Contacts list. If a task is assigned to you, you will receive an e-mail that contains the task request. You can accept or decline the task, and send your reply back to the sender.
