5.0 out of 5 stars Read cover-to-cover and it is a worthwhile read, January 4, 2002

This review is from: Microsoft® Outlook® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

The book does an excellent job describing how outlook works at the right level of detail. There are lots of screen shots where they provide value. The text does an excellent job talking about WHAT outlook does and HOW you can do things with outlook. It provides TIPS on how to do things and how people combine features of outlook in ways that I did not know were possible!

I set out to learn how Outlook works. I decided that Outlook is a valuable productivity aid and that the "trial and error" method of learning it was not how I wanted to learn it. I found this book recommended on a web site, bought and read the book (cover-to-cover). I now feel I know what outlook can do, and how to do it.

And no. I do not know the author or have anything to gain from this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book to have!, September 6, 2001

By 

Bill Zumwalde (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft® Outlook® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

This book is by far one of the best I've seen on Outlook. It is geared to intermediate to advanced users and covers all the major topics in good detail. I found the chapters on integrating Outlook and Exchange Server particularly useful. There are a lot of great tips on configuring public folders and using advanced features that aren't covered in most of the other books. There is also a nice introduction to programming Outlook applications. If you are an experienced Outlook user or want to get up to speed on managing Outlook installations for Exchange Server, this is the book to have.

This review is from: Microsoft® Outlook® Version 2002 Inside Out (Inside Out (Microsoft)) (Paperback)

Some books give you workbook like examples to do. Some times that approach works best, but for me, I just want to read about how the software works, and apply it to the work I am doing. This is not a step-by-step book where you do exercises, which for my needs is good. This book includes a CD of the whole book, plus other things. Overall, I have found this book able to address my techncial questions in depth, the CD is worth the price alone.
