Do the times for the tasks u have in OO.. come over to ical.. and whats the point of making sub groups in oo if the main subgroup and its children tasks come over as individual tasks anyway in ical?

I love the fact that you use calendars to store projects and not contexts. Soon I will unearth my plan to use GTD in Ical ONLY yes, ( sorry Kinkless..) and though I have a few ways of still attributing contexts to tasks.. I was wondering HOW exactly did you do it…

Thanks

For Windows users you will find that Microsoft Outlook can also help a lot.

it integrates a nice calendar along with the mail and address book.

you can also organize by colors and turn on the reminders for any task…

I have the same problem as Carol, I can’t find the Export to iCal script anywhere. Any help?

Great site, great ideas. But I can’t see your images. They come across way too small on a 20″ LCD at 1600×1200. It’d be great if you linked each smaller image to the full size one. Your pics are a valuable part of each article.

I can’t seem to get my hands on the script to export OO to-dos to iCal – every link I find for it sends me to the OmniOutliner Extras page, but the Useful Scripts posted there doesn’t contain the iCal script! Any ideas out there?

I was trying to decide if I could do this without the intermediate step of OmniOutliner — for example, by knowing that I index a certain type of text at 20 pages per hour, usually require three hours for editing, and need to figure for fifteen to thirty minutes for e-mail exchanges and file transmittal. I can just type those into iCal by hand. But then I’m stuck with what to do at the end of the project.

I might have to try that 30 day free trial.

Thanks for answering my questions!

Hi Steve,

The colours don’t travel to the treo unfortunately…

One very cool feature of Omni Outliner is the ability to grab the application icon at the top of an O.O. window and drag it into another O.O. document. This creates a link directly to that other document, allowing you to quickly access your files from one spot.

Peter-
Great tips and thanks for sharing your workflow… I’m definitely going to look into it… I have a few questions though…
-do your color schemes and calander titles translate into your palm and palm desktop?

-with your main project priority/status list in OO3, can you drag your individual estimated list to it or do you just open multiple files?

I’m sure if I start digging through the program I’ll find more info… need to schedule time to do this!

thanks.
Steve
