How do I get my scheduled tasks to show in my calendar?
I am fairly new to Outlook. It is easier for me to see my tasks listed on my
calendar, but I can only get appointments to show. Is there a way to do this? |

Version of Outlook?
Tasks are tasks, not appointments, so they show in the task list at the bottom or side of the calendar. If you want them on the calendar, make appointments instead. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

That's what I figured. It just seems logical to me that something with a
start date, end date, due date such as a task would have an option to show it in calendar view. If I can look at a calendar and see when all my tasks are due, then it's easier for me to prepare for them. I've been told to list them as appointments, but that seems a round-about way of doing it.

If you need a calendar view rather than a list, you can create a custom view
of a Day/Week/Month format. But you can't overlay it with the appointment calendar. http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/viewmenu.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

There is a third party add-in that is very useful when scheduling tasks -
Taskline. It allows you to create a reasonable timeline based on all of your meetings, working hours, other tasks, etc. AND places the tasks in your calendar.
