Using Outlook or Outlook Express is a lot like using MS Word. Many of the commands you are used to using for working within word work in either of these programs as well. With Outlook you have advantages that can be useful for keeping track of appointments, contacts and more. We will speak a little to e mail etiquette. We look forward to seeing you here.
