Chapter 7: Keeping Track of Information

---

Overview

To-do lists written on scraps of paper or stored in bulky paper planners are often difficult to maintain and easy to lose. With Microsoft Outlook, you can replace these lists with a Tasks list that is easy to maintain, and much more powerful. You can use Outlook to create a list of tasks, track the progress of tasks, and assign tasks to others. Plus, Outlook offers ways to organize your tasks to help you manage them more efficiently.

As you work, you might think of ideas, remember small tasks, or jot down messages on notepads or sticky notes. You can use Microsoft Outlook to record these items in the form of electronic notes that you can save, edit, and organize.
