If the task is for someone else, select Assign Task from the Ribbonħ. I love this because it helps me not forget a task when I am getting a visual and auditory reminder from Outlook.Ħ. If the task is for yourself, simply fill out any additional information, and check the box for reminder, then choose your preferred reminder time.Select the line of notes that contains a task you wish to assign.Open OneNote in the Desktop application as shown above.

If the task is just for me, I still like to choose the Custom option because it allows me to set reminders for myself. This will open the full functionality of Outlook tasks from OneNote. To assign a task to someone else, it is important to choose the Custom option within the Outlook Task drop down. Once I get to that place in my meeting, I would open OneNote within the Desktop application in order to get the Outlook task functionality that I love. Most meetings have take aways that involve tasks that each person needs to complete. Not only that, we can choose to email the notes to everyone, although if they are a part of this Microsoft Team, they will have access to the notes from within the Notebook. Our meeting details will appear, and we are able to take notes below the notes section.

To keep myself organized while taking notes, I can create task that come up during a meeting, and I don’t have to open a new application to get a reminder in Outlook.

One of my favorite things about Microsoft Office is that different applications work together.
