"How you can print the comments contained in your Outlook Calendar.

Outlook Calendar has various printing options to choose from that provide some editing capabilities.

With the Calendar Details printing style, the notes area would be printed along, with all of the other Calendar details. Plus, this style will allow you to choose a range of dates to print, and gives you the option of printing each day on separate pages or continuously.

To change the printing style, select Print under the File menu. Next, select the print style you would like to use e.g. Calendar Details style. If you would like to edit this print style, select Define Style then Edit."

Display a map to an Outlook contact's address

Open the contact item.

Next to the Address text box, click on the down arrow and select the address you want to map (Business, Home, or Other).

Then choose Actions/Display Map Of Address from the menu bar or click the Display Map Of Address button.

Your default browser opens and the map is created using Microsoft Expedia Maps.



In Outlook 2007, the Map button is on the Contact tab on the right side of the Communicate group. 2007 uses Maps.Live.com.

Who'd read my mail?

"Espionage and email: as the Pentagon discovered, the two often go hand in hand. Following the arrests of two U.S. servicemen suspected of spying, the Pentagon is broadening its investigation of possible espionage activities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. According to CNN, at least one of the security cases has involved suspicious emails that were discovered as part of a routine monitoring process."

OutlookPower magazine has an article on the problem:

Organize

If you are involved with a project, or you do a lot of work in a specific area, you may wish to create separate folders for e-mail related to that assignment.

You do not have to limit yourself to creating folders for e-mail; you can also create new Calendars or collections of Contacts.

One way to do this is to go to View>Folder list.

Select the "Root" of the directory tree, or choose a folder to create a sub-directory.

Right click the location and choose New Folder ...

Give it a name and then choose what information that folder should contain.

You can have a Contacts folder with names from a single company, or your personal list.

This way they will not be intermingled with your main collection.

You can do the same thing with personal Calendars.

Comic vs. Arial

"Summary: This study investigated the effect that a font has on the reader's perception of an email. Based on a previous study by Shaikh, Chaparro, and Fox (2006), a sample email message was presented in three fonts (Calibri, Comic Sans, and Gigi). The three chosen fonts represented a high, medium, and low level of congruency for email messages.

Personal Address Book

Description: The Personal Address Book, an ANSI address book that is part of Outlook 96, is removed. The Personal Address Book was replaced by Outlook Contacts in Outlook 97. Personal Address Book entries were stored in the local computer files with the extension .pab.

Office Outlook 2007 does not support .pab files. During configuration, all contacts in the Personal Address Book are migrated to the default Outlook Contacts folder. Customers can choose to move their contacts to a different folder, or to cancel the migration and import the .pab file later.

The .pab file continues to exist in the file system, but the Personal Address Book is not accessible from Outlook. Customers cannot re-add the Personal Address Book, because Outlook does not provide this as an option in the E-mail Accounts configuration.

Reason for change: Outlook Contacts provides more functionality than .pab files.

Migration path: Office Outlook 2007 migrates the .pab file during configuration.
