friso 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 just a short tutorial, if you are sick of those yellow post-its on your monitor saying: 'get milk' 'post new tutorial' and so on. you only need outlook. you don't have to save every time you exit it, it will do so automatically, and it opens fast. this is what you do: - Start Outlook - Click File > New > Note - Go to Personal folders > Notes **Right click on the note now to change the color** - Minimize everything but Outlook, and drag the note to your desktop - Change the name & make some random content - You are done! It will look like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jipman 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 OR you could use a text file on your desktop that you use to write your notes on.OR keep a small notebook to write things on next to your computer.BUT, nice idea anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friso 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 yes, but a text file asks you to save each time you use it, and you can't copy-paste stuff or urls into a notepad you got lying next to your computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jipman 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 That about the notepad is true.But the file shouldn't be any problem of asking of saving. But that is not the point anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 microscopic^earthling please can you tell us how you put a title to the Outlook note? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup.. I copied that picture, used photoshop to cut out that Icon on the left. Initially I'd used the same color theme as the original note here in the topic starter - but didn't like them in the long run. So I fired up FireWorks and created the title bar and the "X" button myself and added them in. If you want to know the underlying code behind the NOTE tag, check in the HTML, XML & Other Markup languages section under Howto's and Tutorials. There will be a tutorial called Howto: Custom BBCodes (NOTE) or something similar. That contains detailed explanation on how I created the NOTE tag.
