INTRODUCTION

You can set up Outlook to remind you when a particular task is scheduled or due. Because every task may require different lead times, you can select the date and time for your reminder.

TIP

Select Alert Sound

If you really want to get fancy, you can change the sound that is played when an alert is displayed. Click the Reminder Sound button and then click the Browse button. Change to the drive and folder that contains the sound file you want to play. Select the file and then click Open. Click OK.
