Fortunately for us, the author Jim Boyce is NOT a graduate of Microsofts School of Too Little Information Spread out over Too Many Pages.

This is a full-color tome with a cookbook approach. He tells you what he wants to teach you, provides color illustrations and appropriate text and leads you to learning!

Each section is color-coded, for easy reference.

- Getting Started
- Writing and Sending Email
- Receiving and Reading Email
- Using Internet Messaging
-
- Finding Friends
- Browsing Newsgroups
- Working With Contacts
- Managing a Calendar
-
- Working with Tasks
- Working with Notes
- Managing Items and Folders
- Using Outlook as a Desktop Manager
-
- Managing Your Outlook Files
- Customizing Outlook
- Using Office Tools with Outlook
- Using the Office Clipboard

My favorite part of this book: the cautionary notes. I found that if I read the sections Cautions before starting, I avoided the most common mistakes newbies* make.
