Outlook is one of those programs that we are called upon to use at work. Intuitively we can all get along just fine with the bare basics. If you want to really sparkle and be able to be the one everyone comes to for help you will want to get this book. It has over 300 full color pages with information to make using Outlook to its full capacity. The book will take care of you even if you have not experience with Outlook at all. You will explore Outlook, learn to create and use contacts, handle all your email and understand RSS Feeds. After that you can get proficient with the outlook calendar, and using notes and journal entries. If you need to know how to do any or all of those tasks I recommend this book.
