Outlook 2013 Tasks: Books

[Kenneth Lahman]

All of the books I've seen on Outlook 2013 only devote about 20 pages to Outlook Tasks. Apparently what I am attempting to do goes beyond what anyone is covering in 20 pages. (And, the help screens are not helpful).

Is anyone aware of a book or other source that goes more in depth strictly on Outlook Tasks.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any books that go beyond the basics... which is pretty much all tasks support.

What are you trying to do?

Thanks for responding Diane. I'm copying below two previous questions that I had posted separately.

1. I am attempting to set up a tax return due date list in Outlook.

In the past, the list has been on Outlook Tasks. On that list at that time, being able to assign tasks among a dozen or so staff people was important.

On the list I need to set up currently, I need to maintain ownership of each item. But, I also need two or three other people to see each item.

My thought was to set up the task list on my Tasks and give the others permission to see my list.

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to give an opinion as to whether this would work better on Outlook Tasks or on Outlook Calendar.

2. Upon our transition from GroupWise to Outlook 2013, our Task list converted. However, no one is shown as the Owner.

Is there a way to indicate the Owner now? Or, am I going to have to create new Outlook 2013 Tasks for each task and then delete the converted task that has no Owner?

Thanks.
