Automatic Journal Items in Outlook 2003


You can even have Outlook™ automatically record Journal items for specified activities and specified contacts.

You set this up through the Options dialog. To get there, choose the Tools menu, and then the Options… menu item. 

It looks like this:

Outlook Options Window


Then, choose the button Journal options. This will show the dialog box with the same name.  

Journal Items Window

Select the journal item types and contacts for which you want to record through this mechanism. Outlook™ will then automatically track through journal entries when you work on these types of activities.

As you can see, Outlook™ also integrates nicely with the rest of Microsoft™ Office™. Check a file type, and a journal item will be automatically created for today if you save a document of that type. Describing the ins and outs of automatic journal creation goes beyond the scope of this guide, but experiment with it to see if it helps you in your tracking needs.
