task integration in apps
RedHeadedMenace
MS would integrate into Office.
Scenario:
I'm working on a document in an Office app and have to switch to another
project. I'd like to remind myself to get back to this tomorrow afternoon.
My only option really is to switch to Outlook, click on the Task folder,
create a new item, type in my info, etc.
Why can't I have an *add to Tasks* selection on one of the menus (tools,
maybe?) that opens a new task item and autofills it with a link to the
document so all I would have to do is insert the time /reminder info. Then
when the reminder opened, all I'd have to do is open item and click the link
right to the document. And of course the other option this would facilitate
is setting a recurrent reminder for a document that needs recurrent
interaction, such as an Excel report that must be completed once a week, etc.
Have I been missing something all these years? Does such a tool already
exist? Is this a dumb idea?
