Yep, agreed, George; but it does nag a bit sometimes! 18 February you said George??? <SMILES> Hey, does anyone use the Journal bit and, if so, how and for what real purpose? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 10:18 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Tasks and Journal? Hi Andy, I personally don't use Outlook's Journal options, so can comment there, but I do make expensive use of Tasks. I also know many screen reader users who also make use of this feature, so be assured it is quite accessible. A task can be as simple as a reminder to yourself to do something by a specific date, or something such as perpetual reminder about an anniversary or birthday. You can also set reminders in hours, days or in some cases weeks, before the event to allow yourself say time to mail me a birthday card so that it arrives close to the day. (23rd April, by the way - smile) One thing to bear in mind is that they might initially be a shade intrusive, in so much as they will pop up each time you run Outlook. They can also pop up when you are in the middle of something else, but that's what they are there for anyway - reminders. The other potential drawback is that you need to be running Outlook in order for Tasks to work. However, I tend to keep it running all day anyway, so it's not a problem. If you are a busy person, the Tasks side of Outlook is well worth getting to know. George. _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 09 March 2005 05:25 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Tasks and Journal? Hi all, Any suggestions on how, within Outlook, one would use both the tasks and journal options? Can these functions be utilized on a daily basis and to what extent that you know, or are they just tools in the shed that never get used?
