What's the best way of making a Word document or Excel spreadsheet that
you're working on directly into a task in Outlook.
Can you drag n' drop a file, like a Word doco or Excel file, into task so
that it registers as a task in your task folder?
 
In Windows Explorer or My Computer, or in the Word
File>Open dialog, which is an extension of Windows
Explorer, click and drag the file you want to the Outlook
icon on the taskbar, (This assumes all your windows are
maximized.) Hover on the Outlook icon on the taskbar and
Outlook will restore. Drag over to Tasks and drop. A
new task will open with the same name as the doc, and the
doc will be embedded in the task.
