How can I integrate the 'To Do' tasks into the Outlook calendar and make the task physically appear on my calendar?

I don't know if you've figured it out, but I just spent about an hour on this.

It doesn't work on my stand-alone app version, but with the online version — if you bring up "My Day" in the calendar and as long as the task has a due date, you'll see your tasks as well.

Right-click on the task in question, and select "block time" and it'll add that task to your calendar.

It's a heck of a kludge, but it sort of works — if you can stand using a web calendar rather than an app. Microsoft seems to have joined the bandwagon in thinking that the apps should be PRETTY rather than functional. It's the same thing with Tasks (to do); Microsoft and Google have embraced the silly idea that tasks don't actually take time out of your day to complete — so they no longer show up on your calendar. If you look at videos going back to say Office 2013, you can see how tasks (to dos) were handled with the calendar, and it was rather brilliant.

Thank you Dian for your response. That is really a pity. It is annoying to work with a calendar and a TO DO list in parallel. Being able to plan time for the TO DOs makes sense.

Is this a potential development?

Thanks

Hi, I'm Diane and will be happy to help you today.

The tasks won't be added to the actual calendar dates, but you can show the task list on the right of the calendar, or if using Outlook desktop, at the bottom of the day or week view.

If you need the task showing on specific dates, you need to drag them to the calendar and create an appointment.
