Outlook Links in OneNote 2007--Very Cool for me

I learned something today about linking Outlook tasks to OneNote.  I can't vouch if this works for 2003, but it sure works great for 2007.

So anyway, there's a button in the toolbar that looks just like the little flags in Outlook.  You can also hotkey these by pressing CTRL+Shift+1 through 5.  This automatically creates an Outlook task.  If you open up the Task in Outlook, you see a direct link back to the OneNote post.

Here's how I am using it.  I am sitting in a meeting taking notes on my tablet.  A work item comes up for me, so I just hotkey it to a task, and continue taking notes.  Later as I am looking at my Task List (managed in part by PlanPlus from Franklin Covey), I can see just enough reminder that I have something I need to work on.  I open the task and am directed to the OneNote with all the supporting information.  From either application, I can update the task completion or change the timeframe.

How cool is that?
