Using Microsoft Outlook: A How-To-Do-It Manual and CD-ROM Tutorial by computer expert Michael Sauers is a self-explanatory, "student friendly" guide to quick and easy utilization of one of the most popular and widespread e-mail programs today. From scheduling with Outlook's built-in calendar to managing one's contacts to customizing Outlook 2000, Using Microsoft Outlook has everything a businessman or lay user needs to know. The strongly recommended CD-ROM tutorial offers step-by-step instructions for even the most uninitiated of e-mail novices.

Please not that this book covers Outlook 2000 only. If you have Outlook 2002/XP this title is not for you.

When we bought this manual for the office (which had just switched over from eudora to outlook as an e-mail system), I assumed it would be helpful and at least answer many of the questions that various co-workers were asking regarding the software. I hoped that it would help us use outlook to streamline our office tasks and mailing databases as well. Unfortunately, we were ..... Not only is the book elementary (nothing new was learned), but there is NO TUTORIAL. Sure, there is a CD-ROM attached with the book, but the only files on it are a word file of something already in the book, directions on how to get to BCR (whatever that is) from the Denver Airport, and a diagram of a librarian. Why? No idea. We are returning this book, as it's not worth the money.
