I recently loaded up Microsoft’s latest offering Office 2003. That includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, FrontPage, Visio, PowerPoint, MapPoint, and Publisher. It’s the first time I’ve played with MapPoint. It is pretty cool. Much more convenient that using MapQuest.
But Outlook 2003 is my new love. For the way I work, it is a huge improvement. In my Outlook, I have set up about 40 folders. I have also set up rules that route emails to those different folders, depending on where they are coming from.
With new Outlook I also have a folder called Unread Emails. That way I can read all the current emails without scrolling through all my folders. What is ever better is I can put a flag on Emails that require follow-ups. Outlook gives me a folder that shows all the emails that require follow-up. That way I can just go to my follow-up folder and take care of business. It is way cool.
My SpamBayes even works with the new Outlook so Spam continues to be no problemo. I’m sure there is a lot more I’m missing, but so far I’m a very happy camper.
Yes, I know that Microsoft is the company everyone loves to hate, but for me, they are trying hard to help me make a buck.
Ted,
Is this the full version of Front Page 2003 or a cut down version? What is the price of Office 2003. Just got in a new laptop (work) last week and haven't had chance to look at it yet.
They can say what they want about Microsoft, but it is an outstanding product. Windows XP is so much better than 98. I've only crashed a few times in the last year, rather than 10 times a day.
