I'm in the process of migrating from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 (using Marc Orchant's new book "Unofficial Guide to OL 2007" to ease the transition). One vexing problem I've encountered is that OL 2007 has flagged every one of the 400+ tasks that were in my task lists in OL 2003. So now, all 400 of them appear in Outlook's new "To-Do List" bar. From what I can see, there is no way to remove the flags. Each task would have to be deleted or marked complete... and then re-entered. Yuk!
I've also lost all of the special GTD views that install with the Netcentrics add-in. (I am using the current 2.5.21 version.) I no longer have the options to view lists of tasks aggregated by project, by sub-project or by action. The boxes that are used to assign Project, Sub-Project or Action in the task, journal and appointment windows are too narrow and truncate the entries. And finally, I see no way to assign an incoming e-mail to a project.
Has anyone out there experienced these difficulties? And how have you been able to rectify them?
