Let's be honest, we've all been flustered by the printing appearance of our spreadsheets in Excel.

Microsoft Outlook does many things that save time and streamline our communications process. In fact, it’s hard to remember how we business communications worked before the days of email. Each time you correspond with a new person, Outlook stores this address for quick recall at a later time. This is a good thing. We’ve all used this. You start typing an address and one, or several, options appear for us to select.

Categories got a complete makeover. They work throughout Outlook in many helpful ways. Any Outlook item you create can be categorized by right clicking on the item and choosing categorize. The first time you use each category you will be asked to name the category. There are six categories by default (all named for colors) but you can add many more.
