Setting Task Options

Outlook offers several options that relate to the way tasks and task assignments work. To view and change these options, select Options from the Tools menu to display the Options dialog box. One task option is located on the Preferences tab, as shown in Figure 30-33. It specifies what time of day a reminder is displayed for a task that is due today (only for tasks with a reminder set, of course).

Figure 30-33. The Task Options section of the Preferences tab in the Options dialog box.

The other task options are accessed by clicking the Task Options button on the Preferences tab to open the Task Options dialog box, shown in Figure 30-34. The first two options determine the colors used to display overdue tasks and completed tasks; the default colors are red and dark gray, respectively. The other options are as follows:

  • Keep Updated Copies: If selected, Outlook maintains updated copies of tasks you have assigned on your task list.

  • Send Status Reports: If selected, Outlook automatically sends a status report when you mark as completed a task that you have been assigned.

  • Set Reminders: If selected, Outlook automatically sets a reminder for all tasks that you create with a due date.
