How to create a to-do list in Microsoft Works

One handy feature that is missing from the Calendar function in Works is the option to create a to-do list.

However, it is possible to create such a list using the Works Task Launcher.

Run the program and click on Projects at the top of the screen followed by Start A Blank Project.

Enter a title for the to-do list and use the New To Do button to add activities to the list.

Once an item has been added you can assign a completion date by clicking in the Due Date column, as well as adding notes and associating files and web links in the pane to the right.

As each task is completed, tick the box to the left of the entry to cross it off – use the Recycle Bin icon to delete entries that are no longer needed.
