Viewing Tasks Elsewhere


Many users ask if tasks can be exported to Outlook because they are familiar with Outlook tasks, and they would like to centralize their tasks in Outlook and be able to set reminders. Unfortunately, by default, SharePoint does not offer this capability.

SharePoint tasks do, however, show up in certain Office 2003 applications. Lesson 13, "Using Word with SharePoint," will cover this topic in more detail. The Shared Workspace task pane in Word 2003, Excel 2003, Project 2003, PowerPoint 2003, and Visio 2003 provides access to task information for the site containing the opened document. For example, if a user opens a document contained in a SharePoint document library in one of these applications, the Shared Workspace task pane provides the Tasks tab, which displays the different tasks managed by the site that houses the document.
