#CREATE NOTE ON TASK IN OUTLOOK FREE#
If you use Outlook often and know of some more useful shortcuts not mentioned here, feel free to share them in the comments.In my previous tip I showed how you can quickly create a new task for any document or file that you are working on.īut did you know that if this happens to be a Word document, you can create an Outlook Task for this document directly from within Word as well? However, most of these are for advanced users and you probably won’t need them. You can also setup these commands for your mouse if it has extra buttons you’re not using! So you can create new mails, etc by simply clicking a button on the mouse!īut that’s not all! You can configure many command lines switches to do a lot more than just the above-mentioned tasks by going to the Official Reference pages from Microsoft. Next time you want to create a new email, just click on it. While there is a duration field, Outlook cannot directly make calculations with that. Sadly, the reporting features within Outlook are quite limited. You can then drop it back onto your Quick Launch bar by dragging it there. Calculating time spent on and creating reports of Meeting, Tasks and Journal items is quite a common request of people who plan and record everything in Outlook. Now click OK and go ahead and rename your shortcut to something more appropriate. Go ahead and change that value to whatever is on your system. If you have a different version of Office, simply to go C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office and see check the number. Note: The above path is for Outlook 2003, which is called OFFICE11 in the path name. I have links below for other versions of Outlook too.įor a new pre-addressed email – /c ipm.note /m a new note: /c ipm.stickynoteįor a new appointment – /c ipm.appointment These are Outlook 2003 command line switches. Delete the /recycle or whatever is after the OUTLOOK.EXE” part and replace it with any of the following depending on what you want it to do. What we want to do now is change the parameter. “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE” /recycle You’ll notice in the Target text box, the path for Outlook will be in quotes followed by some / and then a parameter. Go ahead and right-click on the icon and choose Properties. Now we’ll go ahead and change the command line parameters so that it does something else, like create a new email or task. If you were to click on that, it would just load Outlook. Now you’ll see you have a “Launch Microsoft Outlook” icon on your desktop. You can also simply right-click and drag it to the desktop and choose Copy if you like.
Go ahead and right-click on the icon and choose Send To and then choose Desktop.
