Outlook 98 To Outlook 2002 (XP): New Features
Overview

This course serves as a quick reference to new and improved features since Outlook 98 and guides students through the transition process.

Prerequisites

Students enrolling in this course should have completed the following courses: Microsoft Office 97 to Office XP: New Features, Outlook 98 or 2000:Level 1, and Outlook 98 or 2000: Level 2. In addition, this course assumes that the student has a working knowledge of working offline with Outlook.

 Target Student

The target student has met the prerequisites listed above. He or she will also be familiar with an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, as well as have experience with working on an Exchange server.

Performance-Based Objectives

Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Use the Outlook Shortcut Bar and customize the Outlook Today page. Use new and improved Outlook mail features like the default editor Microsoft Word, smart tags, hyperlinks, hotmail, mail merge, the enhanced find feature, the rules wizard, and cleaning up your mailbox.
  • Propose a new meeting time directly from a meeting request, control the ability to offer a counter proposal time, and book office resources directly from the Exchange server. Students will customize their calendar using colors, create a group schedule, and review the enhanced Reminder window. Find contacts, add a display as field to a contact, resize Address Book column headings, create a distribution list using contacts, flag contacts for follow-up, and track contact activity.
  • Create an email message and add a new contact directly from the Web browser. View Web pages from Outlook, add a Web page shortcut to the Outlook Bar, specify a Web page to be displayed as a home page, save their calendar as a Web page, and explore the process for sharing their free and busy calendar time over the Internet.
  • Create an offline folder, download the Address Book, synchronize offline folders, and create a send/receive group.
