2.0 out of 5 stars Almost teaches you what you need to know., February 14, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft Outlook 2003 Bible (Paperback)

I bought this book mostly to learn how to customize Contact forms. This book gives you about half the info you need. Then you hit a brick wall. I spent hours searching newsgroups and web sites to fill in the other half. There are a few simple things the author could have added so the book was actually valuable instead of incredibly frustrating. For example, the book shows you how to customize a form. Great. But then the book neglects to tell you how to apply that form to existing Contacts.

Nothing special its a refrence book, a bit wordy at times I think just to use up paper and make the book look bigger. You can keep it on the shelf for refrence but don't try to read it from cover to cover you might go blind.

This review is from: Microsoft Outlook 2003 Bible (Paperback)

Book is very informative, easy to read, and has graphics to illustrate processes. Overall a very "user-friendly" book for the novice and a good reference book for the more experienced. Thank you for having it. It came in very handy for me.

As an aside, delivery time and condition was excellent.
