Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This massive tome is geared to those who definitely want more than an elementary introduction to Outlook--especially those who want to learn about using Outlook in a workgroup. It not only gives advice on using Microsoft Exchange Server- related features such as Public Folders, but explains how to use Outlook with other messaging services such as Lotus cc:Mail, and CompuServe Mail. Like some other Outlook guides, it takes you through the process of creating and automating forms, but Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 97 also offers a real primer on using VBScript and explains the Outlook Object Model. The appendices in Special Edition include a glossary, a resource guide on where to find out more about Outlook, and an at-a-glance view of the options within each section of Outlook. This is a big book with relatively small print and screenshots, and some users might find the sheer volume of information a bit daunting. But if you want the meatiest book on Outlook available, get Special Edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 97 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

I've found this book, as with all books from Que to be excellent reading. Every chapter of this book is explained so the average user can understand- even the advanced sections. Each chapter comprehensively follows the next, so the reader can follow quite easily.

3.0 out of 5 stars Certainly comprehensive, but not deep enough in some areas, March 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 97 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

The information on creating and publishing specialized forms and templates is not as thorough as I'd have preferred. There is enough information to get started on form design, but the authors stop short here, instead devoting attention to customizing using Visual Basic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Using Outlook 97 has never been easier, January 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Outlook 97 (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)

I always look forward to the next release of great software like Microsoft Outlook, or Frontpage, or Word, etc.

I'm the kind of person who, for some reason, has to have the latest and greatest. Unfortunately, I was never able to find the documentation and reference material I needed on the "latest and greatest" until I found QUE special edition books. Using Microsoft Outlook is one the most authoritative books I've read about Outlook...And there are plenty out there now that Outlook has been around a while.

The writing is clear and unassuming. The authors explained even the most complex functions with ease and I didn't once feel like an idiot. Whenever I have a question about Outlook, I turn to QUE's Outlook97 book for the answer.

I am a support technician, and most of the answers to users come from the Using Outlook 97 QUE book. My users think I'm an expert now. I'm going to have to tell them to buy there own copy, I can't handle all the special requests!

Anyone who asks me for a good reference source for ANY software application hears "Check QUE, they probably have a book on it."

Thank you for this book. It's made my job worlds easier.
