"Sticky" notes
In Microsoft Outlook® version 2002, notes are the electronic equivalent of paper "sticky" notes. You can use notes to jot down questions, ideas or anything you would write on note paper.
To create a note in Outlook:
- On the File menu, point to New, and then click Note.
- Type the text of the note.
- To close the note, click the 'x' in the upper-right corner of the note.
You can also make Outlook notes accessible from your Microsoft Windows® desktop by creating the following shortcut:
- Right-click the desktop, point to New, and click Shortcut.
- In the Type the location of the item box, type the following path: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c ipm.stickynote
- Click Next, name the shortcut, and then click Finish.
- Now, when you double-click the shortcut, an Outlook note will appear on your desktop.
Calendar
The Microsoft Outlook® Calendar displays dates consecutively—usually in single week or month view. But sometimes it's useful to see several non consecutive (but key) dates at a glance. For example, if you met with the same client on January 12 and 19, March 31, and April 4, you might want to view those dates in a single pane, giving you easy access to meeting summaries, attachments, and lists of attendees.
To view non consecutive dates:
- On the right side of the window in the Date Navigator (the small calendar that displays the current month), click the first date you want to view.
- While holding down the CTRL key, click any other dates you want to view. (To remove a date, click it again.)
