Two related things in outlook concerning tasks and the calendar view.  I'd like to know how to do it if it is possible

I've created a task with a date and time for reminding.  I would ideally like this task to appear in the calendar day when I view the calendar as a month.  Alternatively I would like to see the task at the time during the day when in a week view.

appears in week view but at the bottom

So I want something like this, or at the time in the day when in week view:

I do not know of a way to do that, but it sounds like you should instead add it to calendar as an appointment, You cannot assign a due time to a task or a to do item.

I suspect that, pity.

Task begin and end are just dates but you can specify a reminder time with the reminder date.

Seems like it isn't possible.  But I can live with what is possible using the day/week view and seeing it below the details of the day.  Thanks.
