Outlook tasks are buried

[johnnybregar]

Hello,
Whenever I create a new Outlook task in One Note, the task in Outlook gets
titled like this: "[Click the OneNote link in task body for details]". To
view the task I have to actually double click it, then open the attachment
inside Outlook in order to even see what it is. This means that I could have
15 tasks in Outlook all titled, "[Click the OneNote link in task body for
details]" which is crazy.

I must be doing something wrong here, I simply hit Ctrl+Shift+1 to get the
new task in while I'm working in One Note - is there something else I should
do to view my tasks in Outlook normally?

Thanks,
jb

The trick is type out the task subject in OneNote BEFORE you tag it. If you tag it first and then type you will get the blank subject line. My workaround is to type the task first and then tag with CTL-SHIFT-1. This seems to work well.
