OneNote 2007 Checklist Workaround

I’ve been wanting a checklist system for a long time to keep track of projects and To-Do lists for my programs and web projects. Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 doesn’t support subtasks!I scoured the web looking for an alternative, but found nothing that I liked… Then I remembered OneNote, it’s a great utility for keeping notes and ideas about projects, and I will definitely be using it to log my progress. However, it doesn’t have a checklist feature either! But I found a neat little way to simulate the idea, though not perfect it does the job. All I do is add a table to keep track of the tasks, where each row is a task, and tab over to create a new column on the right for storing the “completed date”. I can indent to add subtasks, and when a task is complete, I highlight it and simply click the “Strikethrough” button so that it is “crossed off” the list. then I tab over click the handy “Date and Time” button. Now I have a log of all my tasks and when they were completed! neat huh? I would like to develop an add-in that will automate this process, but I don’t know how. I’ll be researching it tho, and if I ever figure it out, I’ll post it here! -SelArom
