Tick boxes to outlook Tasks

Hi Guys,
I would like to create Task that have check list within them.
I found this article but I do not seem to have the check list symbol.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/insert-a-check-box-to-make-a-checklist-HA102840172.aspx
I also tried using the developers check box (see link below) but that does not work for Task lists, and the bullet symbol could be a better fix.
http://www.computerforall.ca/microsoft-office-3/86-office-2013/word-2013/146-how-to-add-check-box-to-a-list-in-microsoft-word-2013
Wondering if anyone has a solution or knows how to add the checkbox symbol to outlook bullets.

Outlook doesn't support the WORD controls on the basic task form, you'd need to create a custom form but its not really practical for a simple form. Onenote supports checked off tasks.
I did this by setting bullets to boxes and checkboxes (windings font) - tab (to make it level 2 bullet) changes the box. (Create a multilevel list)

Dialogue tick boxes un-hiding all fields, not just the ones where value has changed to true

I am hoping someone can help me make what I want to happen, happen if certain check boxes are ticked withing the dialogue box
right now I can see on the console print that the tick box turns the value from false to true but the OK button is also un-hiding all my fields rather than just the ones where the value has turned to true. What am I missing here
//Create a Dialogue box for staff to state how many of the account owners are in branch in order for the names to show in the signing section
var Signors =

You're missing some curly brackets, using the incorrect equality operator, and using the long deprecated field.hidden property. Try this:
if ("ok" == Signors.DoDialog()) {
    if (Signors.bChk2) {
        getField("Signor1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date2").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk3) {
        getField("Signor2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date4").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk4) {
        getField("Signor3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date5").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date6").display = display.visible;
    console.println("Chk2:" + Signors.bChk2);
    console.println("Chk3:" + Signors.bChk3);
    console.println("Chk4:" + Signors.bChk4);
    console.println("Chk5:" + Signors.bChk5);
I don't know if that will deal with all of the problems, but it's a good start.

Outlook tasks completed in iOS Reminders app regenerate 'orphaned' reminders endlessly in Outlook.

Our small business runs up-to-date (iOS 8) Apple devices that sync via MS Exchange with our email, contacts, reminders, etc.
I create a task in Outlook and include a reminder. The task and reminder sync to Reminders on my iPhone and iPad. When I mark a task complete on mobile, the reminder disappears there as it should... but it regenerates the reminder in Outlook! The Outlook task is complete, but the reminder pops up at the top of the list in the Outlook reminders pop-up window. Marking it complete there is an option, but it just regenerates a new reminder. The only way to remove this 'orphan' reminder is to dismiss the reminder or delete the task.
The iOS 8 Reminders app would be very useful but for this bug. It's even better that it puts my work tasks and home tasks (we use a Mac at home so no problem there) in one place. But as it is, the app is not a time saver, but a time-waster and a source of frustration.
Please advise!

I do not know the answerr. Ik also have same question

Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad?

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad? I'm trying to set up a document with quick check boxes to tick and a date to choose rather than type? I know it possible to do it on pages on a mac but i haven't been able to find anything on the ipad to create such a thing, and I don't know if it will work on the ipad if I create it on the mac

RGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

I seem to be doing something wrong, but not sure what it is!

What error are you getting when you try ? If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. Or you could downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

Outlook task list sync?

Is there a way that I can sync my Itouch to my outlook task list? I really need some help.

There is no a way to sync Outlook To-Dos or Notes, much to many people's chagrin, including mine. There have been many requests made to Apple for this functionality. Hopefully they will listen someday.
I have given up on Notes for now. For To-Dos, I use the Home calendar on the Touch and in Outlook for my To-Dos. It is not perfect because Outlook will not display reminders, but since my Touch is always close at hand, it works for me.
Hope that helps.

Reminders wont sync with my outlook tasks etc.

have updated both my ipad2 and iphone 4 to the new operating system, and was expecting reminders to work as mail and calanders have.
have is set up some thing incorrectly?

Unfortunately Tasks-to-Reminders syncing is only possible via an Exchange server or via iCloud. However syncing Tasks to Reimnders via iCloud has its own set of issues (it's not a true sync imho).
Unlike calendar, contacts, mail, and notes, you cannot sync Outlook Tasks to iOS5 Reminders via USB/iTunes.
To use iCloud to sync this one Outlook data type:
Install the iCloud Control Panel, which will also install add-on in Outlook
Set up Reminders sync
New "iCloud" groups will automatically be created in Outlook Calendars and Tasks (even if you only choose to sync Reminders/Tasks)
I'd still love to know why Apple continues to leave only Outlook Tasks off the list of USB/iTunes sync-able things...
Here's an Apple KB article to get you started (if you want to try iCloud)

My contact list on my iPod has gone. In iTunes the info section for contacts doesn't show anything like 'family' - just tick box for all contacts. Any ideas on how to correct this? iPod is 3 yrs old...

My ipod no longer shows any contacts from my address book. iTunes when syncing in the info section - contacts - only shows the all contacts tick box, not categories such as 'family', 'friends' etc.
Any thoughts on why this is please?
Am suspecting icloud as a possible culprit.....
Thanks

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them. I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
Are you able to help me with this?
Many thanks

The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
The comment at the top of the code:
// Custom calculate script for text field
should help clarify the placement location for the code.
Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

My Outlook tasks disappeared, how do I recover? I am using MS Office for Mac 2011 and software is update.

My Outlook tasks have disappeared. Have update all software. How can I recover or fix?

Go to the "View" option at the top of the page and then move down to "Go to" and see if Task is an option there. If it is, then select it to see whare it takes you. It may repopulate your task view, but only the trial will tell.
