Working with To Do

Click on the Note&Do icon to open the application.

Note&Do works for Microsoft Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word. The tasks you create in the To Do list are application-specific, i.e. the tasks you create in Excel will not be shared in Word and vice versa.

Create new tasks

You can easily create a new task on the To Do tab using one of the following 5 ways:

• Double-click on the first empty line on the To Do tab, you will see a new task in the edit mode. Type in the information you want and press Enter on your keyboard.
• Click on the Add task button at the bottom of the pane.

  Note! When you use the Add task button, the task will be created at the end of the list.

• Right-click on the pane and select the option to Add a new task from the menu. You will see the task in the edit mode. Type in the necessary data and press Enter to finish up.

  Note! The task will be inserted in the place where you right-clicked on the pane.

• Open the To Do pane and press the Ctrl+N shortcut on your keyboard.
• If you have some text in your file that you want to use as a task, just highlight and drag-and-drop it to the To Do list. If you don’t have any tasks there yet, drag it to the first empty line. You'll see a new task with the text you dragged.

  Tip: If you want to bring the data from the task into your MS Office file, just drag and drop it where you need in the document

To quickly distinguish certain tasks on the pane you can categorize them by color:

1. Right-click on the task and select the Category option in the context menu.

Hide completed tasks

If you have completed tasks that you don't want to delete to keep track of the things you've done, you can hide them so that they don't impede with the tasks you haven't completed yet.
