With most of the books currently on the market for Outlook 2000 falling into the instant-learn, limited-scope "Dummies" category, the need for an up-to-date and comprehensive reference book such as Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is high. This book is for typical Nutshell readers: sophisticated computer users who need a comprehensive, functional reference to the product. Outlook is much more than just an email client. It is a powerful and versatile program that includes contact, calendar, notes, task, and journal tools all tightly integrated to give users quick access to vital information and fast, easy ways to share that information. You can arrange virtual conferences with NetMeeting, send Office documents through Outlook Mail, and save calendars as web pages and publish them to the Web. Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is organized intuitively, beginning with a program overview examining Outlook's interface and structure along with setup and installation issues. The chapter on program insights delves deeper into the program, looking at data structures, forms, and categories. The second part of the book drills down into Outlook's individual components and their associated commands, and the last section covers some sophisticated connectivity and collaboration issues as well as file management and encryption. There are also some special sections devoted to working with VBA, using Outlook as an Exchange client, and exploring how Outlook works with Palm devices. This book covers: - Program data structures, forms, and views
- Adaptive menus and toolbars
- Outlook's component interaction
- Connectivity and collaboration tools
- Importing and exporting
- Working with VBA
- Outlook as an Exchange client
The authors worked extensively with Microsoft engineers on the alpha/beta releases of Outlook 98, and bring to the book a wealth of knowledge and experience. They have provided a comprehensive task index, designed to speed up the process of locating important information as well as tips and tricks about the program. Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is a must-read for any user who wants to get as much out of this software as possible without wasting time weeding through hundreds of pages of useless information. |

Colophon Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is a herring gull, whose common name is the seagull. An adult herring gull is a large bird with a white underside, a gray topside, black-tipped wings with white spots, pink legs, and a yellow beak. Adults reach a size of approximately twenty inches long, with a wingspan of up to sixty inches. Young herring gulls are a brown-gray color with black bills. They mature in color and size at around four years of age. These birds live along the water in North America, primarily in Alaska and Canada and down the Atlantic coast. They also live in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, as well as in several countries in western Europe. They nest in large groups, have a typical loud gull call, are bold, and are excellent scavengers. They hunt for fish by diving into the water, though not totally submerging themselves. They also take young chicks and eggs from unguarded bird nests. Many can be found in or around garbage dumps, beaches, or parking lots, foraging for food. Though sometimes considered a pest, herring gulls help keep such places free of waste, so they are a protected species in many areas.
