Can anyone suggest a good way of formatting minutes from business meetings?
[Update:] I'm particularly looking for an easy way to have an 'action items' column at the right side, and possibly a left-most agenda column — much like printed minutes' books do.
The bibleref package could be an option.
Perhaps the multienum package could be an option:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amssymb} %for \blacksquare
\usepackage{multienum}
\newcommand{\rsqr}{\raisebox{0.4ex}{\tiny $\blacksquare$}}
\newlength\myindent
\newlength\mylen
\renewcommand{\itemxx}[2]{%
\setlength\mylen{\remainxx}
\addtolength\mylen{-\myindent}
\hskip\myindent
\parbox[t]{\labelwidth}{\hfill\labelenumi}%
\hskip\labelsep
\parbox[t]{0.5\mylen}{\raggedright #1}%
\hfill\parbox[t]{\labelwidth}{\hfill\labelenumi}%
\hskip\labelsep
\parbox[t]{0.5\mylen}{\raggedright #2}\smallskip}
\newenvironment{listable}[1][0cm]
{\begin{multienumerate}
\setlength\myindent{#1}
\renewcommand\labelenumi{\rsqr}
\setlength\itemsep{-.5\baselineskip}
}
{\end{multienumerate}}
\begin{document}
\begin{listable}
\mitemxx{Lots and lots of text, oh my!}{More and more text}
\mitemxx{word}{All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy}
\end{listable}
\begin{listable}[4em]
\mitemxx{Lots and lots of text, oh my!}{More and more text}
\mitemxx{word}{All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy}
\end{listable}
\end{document}
The optional argument of the listable environment controls the indentation from the left margin (default value: 0cm).

One good way is to use the minutes package. For a simple meeting though it maybe a bit of an overkill.
