Is there a way to number tasks, such as, from 1 to 10?  

Also, to limit them to those of a single day?  

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean by "limit them to those of a single day"...can you
please elaborate?

You can add a custom field to a view of your Tasks folder and use it to
assign numbers to each task...

Thank you for responding to my questions.

How do I add a custom field?

By limiting the tasks to a single day, I mean, that I would have tasks that
I perform on Monday alone, for instance.   It would be as if I wrote down a
list of tasks in a daytimer on a single day.

Switch to an unfiltered table view of your Tasks folder, such as By Category
(or any table view you'd like to use).  Click the Field Chooser button on the
Advanced toolbar and then click the New button at the bottom of the Field
Chooser.  Create the new field, then click OK, and it will appear either in
the list that's already showing or in the "User defined fields in this
folder" list you can choose from the dropdown box.  Then drag the field to
the place you want in your view, and drop it.  You can add your numbers there.

For the single day task view -- what version of Outlook are you using?

You could use the TaskPad and choose "Active Tasks for Selected Days"...but
it would show you anything overdue as well as the tasks due on the selected
days.  Otherwise, in the Tasks folder, you can create a custom view which is
filtered to show the tasks that are due "today" (use the Time setting on the
Tasks tab of the Filter dialog box).
