Thanks, I will give it a try. -----Original Message----- From: Glenda Wells [mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:03 AM To: 'mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [mso] Re: Journal I believe you can Peggy but having Outlook/Journal track apps such as Word or Excel just slows everything down so much, for me, it wasn't worth the effort. I'm big on naming convention. If I had a project for Admissions Focus Group for example, I'd name all files I generated with the prefix afg so that they would be grouped in alpha order in Explorer. I also would save them in appropriate folders and sub-folders. In my journal, I might include hyperlinks to any referenced documents instead of tracking specific documents. If you want to time yourself for anything, turn on the journal timer as you work on the doc then add the hyperlink then turn off the timer as needed. hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Wier, Peggy J.

My method is to add a category for each project. I put the category code into all email, notes, etc. related to the project. -----Original Message----- From: Wier, Peggy J. M. [mailto:pjmwier@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:02 AM To: 'mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [mso] Journal Does anyone use this feature in Outlook? It seems it would help me track how much time I spend in various projects. Would I give each project a "fake" contact name to assign the various things to, using the Journal? I didn't find Outlook Help to be that helpful in helping me conceptualize how to set this up.
