1. In an open task window, click the Recurrence button on the Task tab.
   
2. Select a recurrence pattern and specify its parameters.
   • Daily: Tasks that recur every day or every workday.
   • Weekly: Tasks that recur on the same day(s) of the week, such as a report due every Friday or a payroll due every other Thursday.
   • Monthly: Tasks that recur on every month, such as an inventory audit that occurs on the 5th of every month.
   • Yearly: Tasks that recur annually, such as tax filing days.
3. Specify range of recurrence.

   You can also choose whether to allow a task to recur indefinitely, end after a certain number of recurrences, or end on a certain date.

4. Click OK.
5. Click Save & Close.
   

The recurring task is saved and appears in your To-Do list.
