Look out! Whether you've been using Microsoft Outlook since the beginning of your computer experience or you're new to the whole area of personal information management software, the 2000 upgrade will change your world for the better. If you've got limited time to teach yourself the ins and outs of this brave new world and you want to keep yourself entertained--your choice is easy: pick up SAMS Teach Yourself Microsoft Outlook 2000 in 24 Hours.
You'll get 24 well-indexed lessons, each timed at about an hour (though they're self-paced, of course), covering everything from the basics of configuring, navigating, and managing Outlook to advanced operations using the Internet and other Microsoft applications. Learn what you need when you need it, and leave the rest for a slow day or crunch-time. A very handy cheat sheet accompanying the book will save you from moving back and forth between computer and bookshelf.
Author Herb Tyson knows his way around Office applications, and it shows; better still, his writing is crisp and fun to read while also distilling the information you need into easily digestible bits. After you've plowed through a few of the lessons and gotten Outlook 2000 rolling, you'll wonder how you got along without it--and you'll cackle with glee in anticipation of your imminent mastery. --Rob Lightner

I found this book covered the essentials without getting bogged down with all the details. Is intended for Home users (like me) or Office Users who want to learn how to USE Outlook and let the Exchange Admin worry about the connection. Could have given more details on using with Exchange.
ok for 1st time user

I assumed I was a first time user to outlook since this is the first time I ever used it but the book left me searching for more. Most of book was already pretty self explanatory in the software or in the help file. I was still left guessing. "Sams Teach yourself" was dissappointing again, this will be the last time I buy a sams book. Also it could have been a combination of not being happy with Outlook in general.
Excellent book! Ideal for new and experienced Outlook users.

This book provides an extensive coverage of the features of Outlook 2000. Everything from basic (and more advanced)Contact Management and e-mail to Net Folders, publishing Free/Busy time, printing, using the Journal, File and folder management, integration with the rest of Office 2000 and customizing Outlook 2000 to suit your needs is covered. Peppered with humour, I found the book very easy and enjoyable to read. The exercises and examples are clear and very easy to follow. Keep a copy handy at both work and home. The extra time on your hands after learning to use Outlook 2000 from this book might be needed when you become a source of knowledge on Outlook 2000 for your friends and colleagues.
