Creating recurring tasks in Outlook 98 Many of your tasks will occur on a regular basis-daily, weekly, or monthly. You can use Outlook's task recurrence feature to make sure you stay on schedule and avoid missing important deadlines. Follow these steps to create a recurring task: 1. Open a new task by pressing [Ctrl][Shift]K (or by clicking the Tasks icon on the Outlook bar and then clicking the New Task button). 2. In the blank task form, enter a subject for the task in the Subject text box, such as Complete Timesheets. 3. Click the Recurrence button (or press [Ctrl]G) to open the Task Recurrence dialog box. 4. To create a task that takes place every Tuesday, select the Weekly option and specify for the task to recur every week. Finally, select the Tuesday check box and click OK, which returns you to the Task form. 5. Save the task by clicking the Save and Close button. To view your task list, pull down the Current View list box and choose Simple List. Outlook will display only the first occurrence of the task in the list. The next occurrence will appear only after you've indicated that the current task has been completed, which you do by clicking its check box. As soon as you select the check box, Outlook draws a line through the current task and then displays the next occurrence of the task.
