6.5 Tasks
Use Tasks to keep track of things you need to do. A task can occur once or
repeatedly (recurring). You can set reminders for your tasks and you can
organise them using categories.
Your tasks are displayed in a task list. Overdue tasks are displayed in red.
To create a task
1. Tap Start > Programs > Tasks.
2. Tap Menu > New Task, enter a subject for the task, and fill in
information such as start and due dates, priority, and so on.
3. Specify the type of category for your task, so that it can be grouped
with other related tasks. Tap Categories, then select a preset category
(Business, Holiday, Personal, or Seasonal), or tap New to create your
own category.
4. When finished, tap OK.
Tip You can easily create a short, to-do type task. Simply tap the Tap here to add
a new task box, enter a subject, and tap the Enter button on the on-screen
keyboard. If the task entry box is not available, tap Menu > Options and
select the Show Tasks entry bar check box.
To change the priority of a task
Before you can sort tasks by priority, you need to specify a priority level for
each task.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Tasks.
2. Tap the task you want to change the priority for.
3. Tap Edit, and in the Priority box, tap a priority level.
