Course Description
Are you under the impression that Outlook is about e-mail? Well, you're not wrong but if that's all you think it is you are far from being fully accurate!

In this series you will learn how to fully utilize the extensive capabilities of Outlook, allowing you to better manage your information and your time. You'll learn there's more to e-mail, calendars, contacts, tasks and notes than just "Send" or "Save" including a whole set of tools that will make you more efficient and professional by integrating information in one place and using a common set of tools.
