5.0 out of 5 stars Describes a Lot you can do with Outlook, January 22, 2007

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Microsoft's Outlook is the hands down most popular package in the world for handling e-mail. The overwhelming percentage of peopel using Outlook use it only for handling e-mail. They ignore that in revision after revision, down through many years Microsoft has expanded the functionality built into the program to becomen what Microsoft calls a Desktop Information Manager. Not only that, but in keeping with Microsoft's traditions, it has kept the Outlook look and feel rather consistent across the range of functions.

Among the standard features built into Outlook 2007 include what you might call a contact management system (and you don't have to pay extra for it). With you can keep a lot of information about your contacts, not just their e-mail addresses. Then there's a calender, scheduling system, sending yourself notes (kind of like those little yellow slips), keeping a journal and lots, lots more.

Like the other For Dummies books, this book uses simple English to explain things and yet covers the subject very completely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outlook 2007..a Great Program..and a Great Book, May 31, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased the program to replace Outlook Express 6 which kept locking up on me. The book made the setup for e-mail accounts very simple and I loved the other features of the program which I was able to use almost immediately by reading the book and following instructions. This is a great book for a low price.
