You can use the PowerPoint Meeting Minder feature to enter items on your Outlook task list without leaving your PowerPoint presentation. For example, if you're making a PowerPoint presentation at a meeting, you may need to make a note to do something as a result of the meeting.

To enter Outlook task items by using the PowerPoint Meeting Minder feature, follow these steps:

1. In PowerPoint, choose Tools, Meeting Minder to open the Meeting Minder dialog box.

2. Click the Action Items tab.

3. Fill in the appropriate information in the Description, Assigned To, and Due Date boxes.

4. Click Add to make each item appear on the list of Action Items.

5. After your list is complete, click the Export button to open the Meeting Minder Export dialog box.

6. Click the check box that says Post Action Items to Microsoft Outlook.

7. Click Export Now to export action items to your task list.

The dialog boxes disappear, and you return to your PowerPoint presentation. Later, when you check your task list, you see listed there the action items you exported.
