Microsoft Outlook has developed into much more than just a program that sends and receives emails.  It has progressively replaced the traditional desktop diary by providing a far greater interactive capacity, and many organisations now expect their employees to use the advanced scheduling functions to manage their work load and arrange their calendars.   This resource package instructs you to use and capitalise on these functions to plan and organise your daily work life. It comprises a valuable reference for assistive software users, particularly those grappling with the changes incorporated into the new versions of Microsoft applications.

More than simply a software manual, the package includes practical exercises to help you learn shortcut keys to navigate around calendars and use advanced appointment and task features. Complete lists of all keystrokes for both JAWS and ZoomText users make the package an essential long term reference.

Specifically, the resource will enable you to:

• Understand and use the new ‘Ribbon’ system in the most effective and efficient manner.
• Navigate efficiently around calendars.
• Make and respond to meeting requests and appointments.
• Use the “Notes” feature.
• Organise and manage your work load with the “Task” functions.
• Share calendars with your colleagues.
• Print calendars in a range of styles
