Understanding Task Windows
When you open a task entry, Outlook launches a task window. This window contains fields for entering or reviewing information about the task, such as its due date, priority, owner, notes, and so on.
Office Button
This button provides access to oft-used commands, such as Save, Delete, Print, and more.
Quick Access Toolbar
Like the Office button, the Quick Access toolbar offers access to frequently used commands. You can customize this toolbar, removing commands that appear there by default and adding others you use more often.
Ribbon
In lieu of the traditional menus and toolbars, message windows feature the Ribbon—that is, a tabbed area in which commands are organized in logical groups.
Subject
The task’s subject, or description, can be entered or located here.
Start Date/Due Date
The task’s start date and due date can be entered or located here.
Status/Priority/Percentage Complete
The task’s status, priority, and percentage complete can be entered or located here.
Reminder
The contact’s reminder status can be entered or located here.
Owner
The task’s owner can be entered or located here.
Notes
Read or enter notes about the task here.
