Summary: First book I have finished for Outlook 2000
Review: Easy to read, great examples, and covers alot of detail in a relatively short period of time. Highly recommended! First Outlook 2000 book that I finished reading. Most others are tailored for people using Exchange. This one tells you to skip the following if you don't have Exchange.

Summary: Very Useful
Review: I picked up this book "on sale" thinking it would eventually be useful. It turned out I needed it almost immediately to prepare some high-priority training presentations.

I'd used PowerPoint before to do some presentations for school but hadn't used any of the really cool useful features because I didn't know they existed. The importance of this work-related project motivated me to sit down and work through the entire book. I was impressed with how fast it moves from one useful topic to the next. It took me two days (part-time) to get all the way through the book but an inspired reader could do it in a day. By the end of the book I'd learned enough to complete the training presentation project very successfully.

I typically hate application instruction books because they are usually so patronizing. But this one is definitely useful and easy to read. I'm now interested in checking out more titles in Microsoft's "Quick Course" book series.

Summary: Good for first timers
Review: This book provided help to many of my friends and family who are new to computers, especially Outlook. However, this particular Quick Course book was limited to the most basic and some intermediate levels of Outlook.

Summary: Good overview on Outlook
Review: When I purchased this book, I didn't know much of Outlook 2000. After finishing the book I'm now a everyday user of most of the functions and possibilities in Outlook. The book is well written and is not the 1000-pages brick on the bedside table that you'll never open.
