"Thanks for a great book. Most e-books are small, almost pamphlets but the Desktop Search Handbook is great value for over 60 pages of info" - Greg H, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Here's the opening pages of Effective Outlook Calendars. The Table of Contents is here. " IntroductionThis ebook is about organizing your Calendar,
appointments and events list in Outlook. Not only can you save ‘places
to go and people to see’ but you can use Outlook Calendar to record
other pieces of information with a deadline or time for action. In this ebook we’ll give you an idea of the many options available to you in the Calendar folder. We’ll explain what you can save in a appointment or event (almost anything), how to link an event to other information, and how to view the information even when you don’t have a computer. The broad format for this ebook will be familiar to anyone who has read our other Outlook related titles; Organizing Outlook Email and Clever Outlook Contacts. The first section of the ebook will show you all of the options for saving calendar information, beyond the obvious things like time and place. Then we’ll look at Calendar views, the many different ways to view and find the information you’ve saved within Outlook. We’ll also show you how to make views that suit you beyond the pre-sets provided by Microsoft. Outlook lets you send invitations and process RSVP’s automatically. Despite what many people think, you don’t need expensive server systems to do that. All you need is Outlook. This ebook has an entire chapter devoted to sharing appointments and invitations. Printing out calendars is a common question we get from Office Watch readers, so we’ve devoted a chapter to the many options available. Instead of digging through the Outlook dialog boxes, we’ve included a full list of the choices available so you can quickly find one that suits you. Linking Outlook to your desktop or laptop is a powerful way to leverage the information you’ve entered. We’ll show you how to link Outlook to your mobile phone, PDA and even some MP3 players. After those Contact basics we’ll look at some of the clever things that you can do:
As usual for Office Watch publications, we won’t just tell you what works in Outlook, but what doesn’t work the way you expect or could work better. Effective Outlook Calendars is for users of Microsoft Outlook. Most of the information in this ebook applies to Outlook 2000, 2002 (XP) and 2003 in addition to Outlook 2007. It does not cover Outlook Express which is a different program despite the similar name and being from the same maker. This is the fourth in our new series of ‘Quickie’ guides – short ebooks on a specific topic offered for a low price. The first was a companion guide – Organizing Outlook Email then Clever Outlook Contacts and Formatting Magic with Word. ‘Quickie’ guides are not intended to be full size ebooks like Office Extras Handbookk or Eye-catching Signs with Word but rather a comprehensive view to meet a particular need and at a low price. Ebook powerLike the Desktop Search Handbook and Office Extras Handbook and Eye-catching Signs with Word, Organizing Outlook Email takes advantage of the flexibility in e-books. This is an electronic book and therefore you have options that you don’t have with dead tree (paper) publications. With Adobe Acrobat e-books you can navigate using the bookmarks pane on the left to jump around the e-book, and so it’s a more convenient and faster version of the traditional table of contents (but we’ve still included a TOC below). Searching.. Use the Find or Search commands (under the Edit menu) in the Acrobat Reader to quickly locate what you need. Searching. Naturally this handbook can be indexed and searched by any Desktop Searching program that indexes the content of PDF files. Just save it to a folder that is indexed and the Desktop Searching program should do the rest. There are lots more detail about this in our Desktop Search Handbook. Bookmarks. Choose View | Navigation Tabs | Bookmarks to see a tree view of the headings in the handbook. Click on any heading to jump to that section. This is similar to the Document Map feature in Microsoft Word. Resizing. You can change the Zoom setting in Acrobat Reader to make the text larger and easier to read. Comments. You can add your own comments and notes to an ebook – see the Comments menu in Acrobat Reader. Attachments. PDF files can contain documents within them for you to save onto your computer – much in the same way that email messages can have file attachments. Using this feature we can give you examples to try and use anyway you’d like. Choose View | Navigation Tabs | Attachments in Acrobat Reader v7/8 or Documents | File Attachments in Acrobat Reader v6. Color. To put full color images in a paper book greatly increases the cost but we can include them in our ebooks without increasing the price you pay. Full color images are especially useful in demonstrating some software features like color coding in Outlook. Printing. We let you print out all or part of ebook for your own use (many ebook publishers do not). Instructions are below. "
