1. Open the task (task: A personal or work-related duty or errand that you want to track through completion.) you want to set the start and end dates for.
2. In the Due date box, enter the date the task needs to be complete.
3. In the Start date box, enter a date to start work on the task.

   To reset the start date without changing the due date, enter None in the Start date box, and then press ENTER. Click in the Start date box again, and then enter the new start date.

Note   If you set the due date to a day of the week that is outside the normal recurrence (recurring: Items that occur repeatedly. For example, an appointment or task that occurs on a regular basis, such as a weekly status meeting or a monthly haircut, can be designated as recurring.) pattern for the task (for example, the date you set falls on a Wednesday, and the task normally repeats every Tuesday), you will see a new task in the task list (task list: A list of tasks that appears in the Tasks folder and in the TaskPad in Calendar.) for this one-time exception. The new task won't repeat, but the original task will continue to repeat as set.
