Maximizing Outlook 2000: The Practical Guide to Optimizing Outlook

Summary: Worth Every Penny
Review: I have been using Outlook for several years and switched to Outlook 2000 soon after it became available. I thought I knew my way around Outlook 2000 fairly well. Barry's book has shown me many things that I didn't know (but needed to) and has also helped me resolve several annoyances. The book is well organized, well written and appears quite thorough (everything *I* need to know about Outlook). The level of detail is excellent for power users, but with enough basic information that it shouldn't confuse casual users. In my humble opinion, this book is worth every penny of it's price, AND MORE!

Summary: straightforward and easy to access the content
Review: I wish there were more coverage of the nitty gritty details regarding forms and how to move forms form one computer to another, but overall accessing information is very easy and intuitive. This is the best book on Outlook 2000 that i have found to date.

Summary: An invaluable reference
Review: In my humble opinion this book is the premier tome of knowledge for both intermediate and advanced Outlook 2000 users.

Barry Simon's book helps you take full advantage of Outlook 2000's powerful scheduling, e-mail and contacts features.

I found the section on macros and forms particularly useful.

In today's information age this book will help you effectively manage and exchange information.

Summary: Optimize and RULE!
Review: Our everyday computer work, either for business or just for personal use, relays on great applications which help a lot. But, in order for an application to satisfy all the users demands, it has to be complex (not to say huge). So it is sometimes difficult to catch all its fine tunes, things that make you accomplish your tasks more efficiently and, why not, more rapidly. In this point of our discuttions we must take a closer look to Barry Simon's book, 'Maximizing Outlook 2000: The Practical Guide to Optimizing Outlook'. The title is self-explanatory: it helps us to achieve that level of work with Outlook, when we can say we are PRODUCTIVE. Better yet, the book helps us to understand the philosophy of the product, so further development of the program will be extremly easy to master. It is an excellent book, a book that I, personally, reccommend for all the people dealing with Outlook.

Summary: Maximum Bang for Your Buck
Review: Outlook 2000, the full-featured big brother to Microsoft's free Outlook Express, is an amzing piece of software -- and amazingly complex. Microsoft's own help files barely begin to explain how to unleash it's full potential. Every time I pick up this book I discover something new. It's essential for anyone serious about getting the most out of their email. Like all the books I've seen in the Woody series, this one is full of clear, easy-to-access explanations of some very complex topics. A real winner. If you've invested in Outlook 2000 you shouldn't pass this book up.

Review: The Woody's Office Watch gang have done it again! This book is well worth the time and attention of any user of Outlook 2000.

Barry Simon's book is perfectly titled. It is oriented towards making the myriad useful features accessible and actually used.

I heartily recommend it.
