Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Microsoft Outlook Handbook successfully moves from the basics of using Outlook to power-user features, such as creating new views and forms. And at the end of each chapter, you'll find a discussion of how an individual user, a small workgroup, a large workgroup, or a committee might use the features covered in that chapter. For example, the chapter on using the Calendar includes ideas on how users with and without Microsoft Exchange Server (Microsoft's optional back-end messaging server) can collaborate on their schedules. You can also learn how to create your own forms and take the process further by using VBScript to automate these forms. Throughout the book, the author provides ease-of-use tips and large, helpful screen shots; for example, the last chapter consists of screen shots of various views you can call up within Outlook. The author also offers cautionary advice about the best and least efficient ways to sort data and create new fields. In all, this is a very good guide to getting to know Outlook inside and out.

1.0 out of 5 stars No help to user to hookup Outlook to AOL or other INS., August 20, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Microsoft Outlook Handbook (Paperback)
If you want to know how to hook up Microsoft Outlook with AOL or other internet service provider except MS Explorer, you wont get help from this book. The book walks you through the program and pretends to use examples of one or a group. But, how to you use the message service is not discussed. Too bad
