Here’s an issue that will affect a very small number of you, but I’ve seen it a few times still so I thought I’d post it. At the top of any Windows Outlook task list you should see a blank row where you can enter tasks. It will either be labeled “Type a New Task” or “Click Here to Add a New Task.” It’s called the New Item row, and notice how it looks in Outlook 2010:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you click in that box and type a task name and then hit your ENTER key, you’ve just created a task! It’s a nifty tool and it saves time over using the New button.<\/p>\n

Well, sometimes that row is missing in some users’ Outlook install. If it is missing in yours, whether in the TaskPad (2003), your To-Do Bar (2007, 2010, or 2013), or in your Tasks folder, you can get it back. Here is how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click any column heading of the TaskPad\/To-Do Bar, or the Tasks folder view from where it is missing, and from the shortcut menu choose Customize Current View… (it may say Custom\u2026 or in 2010\/2013 it may say View Settings… )<\/li>\n
  2. A dialog box will open with a large list of buttons on it. In that dialog box, click the Other Settings button on the middle left.<\/li>\n
  3. A dialog box labeled Other Settings will open, the top of which is shown below.\"\"<\/li>\n
  4. See the check boxes at the top right? If not checked, select the Allow In-Cell Editing check box; this is necessary so that you can edit your tasks in place and is required for the next step.<\/li>\n
  5. If not checked, select the Show \u201cNew Item\u201d Row check box; this shows the row.<\/li>\n
  6. Click OK and then OK again to close the configuration dialog boxes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it, the New Item row should be visible, and now you can use it as a quicker way to create tasks. By the way, if you double-click in that row, it opens a full new task dialog box, which allows you to set more task fields.<\/p>\n
