notes. Chapter 10 tells you everything you need to know about notes, includ-
ing how to find the notes you’ve saved as well as how to sort, categorize, and
organize your collection of notes and even how to delete the ones you don’t
need anymore.
After you’re in the habit of using Outlook to organize your life, I’m sure that
you’ll want to move beyond the basics. That’s what the rest of this book
shows you. When you’re ready to share your work with other people, send
e-mail like a pro, or just finish your workday by 5:00 p.m. and get home,
you’ll find ways to use Outlook to make your job — and your life — easier to
manage.
