Changing or deleting an Outlook task in OneNote

You can create an Outlook 2013 task in OneNote 2013, or copy an existing task from Outlook to OneNote. You can change and delete Outlook tasks copied or created in OneNote, as well. In OneNote, manage Outlook tasks with these techniques:

  • Mark a task as complete . Tasks that are marked as complete show the check mark icon, not the red flag.

  • Delete a task . Delete a task when it is complete and, furthermore, you don’t need a record of having completed it.

  • Change the due date . Change the due date to today, tomorrow, this week, next week, or a custom date that you select. You can also remove the due date associated with a task if it has no due date.

Tip

Quickly change the due date of a task by selecting the task and pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 (Today), Ctrl+Shift+2 (Tomorrow), Ctrl+Shift+3 (This Week), Ctrl+Shift+4 (Next Week), or Ctrl+Shift+K (Custom).

Caution

If you select No Date for a task, Outlook places the task at the top of the tasks list, above tasks due Today. For this reason, it’s best to select a date for every task so that they can be sorted correctly.

Caution

If you delete a task in OneNote, its task flag is removed but the text remains. You can delete the text manually if you like. Moreover, when you delete a task in OneNote, the task is removed completely from Outlook.
