Kids are never the problem. They are born scientists. The problem is always the adults. They beat the curiosity out of kids. They outnumber kids. They vote. They wield resources. That's why my public focus is primarily adults. -Neil deGrasse Tyson |

This is lesson 101.TranscriptWelcome to Microsoft Outlook 101, Introduction to Microsoft Outlook brought to you by 599CD.com. I am your instructor Richard Rost. Let's go over the objectives for today's class.First, we will learn what Outlook is and what features Outlook has. We will learn about the parts of the Outlook interface. We are going to spend the majority of today's class on email. We will learn about sending mail, reading and replying to mail, sending file attachments, opening file attachments, finding and printing email, using the draft folder, backing up your Outlook data, and how to use email signatures. Prerequisites: If you are taking this class, we strongly recommend that you have taken Windows 101 first, and either Windows 102 for Windows 98 users or Windows 110 for Windows XP users. It is also recommended, but not required, that you have taken our Internet 101 class to have a basic understanding of the Internet. Versions used: In this class, we will be using Microsoft Outlook XP, the 2002 edition. We will also be using Windows XP. However, this lesson is valid for pretty much every version of Outlook, including Outlook XP, 2000, and 97. The version of Windows that you are using really does not matter. Please note that this is a class for Microsoft Outlook, which is part of the Microsoft Office family. This is not a class for Outlook Express users. Outlook Express is included with Internet Explorer and will be taught in our Internet series of classes. For this class, we will assume that you have an Internet email account already set up in Microsoft Outlook. This is something that you usually will have instructions provided for by your Internet service provider. If you need assistance with account setup, please contact your Internet service provider. Since every ISP has different settings for their email, we cannot include that information in this class. So, we are going to assume that you have Outlook up and running and you have an account already set up. How to learn: We recommend that you sit back and watch this class the first time through entirely. Then, watch the lessons a second time following along with the examples. Do not try to learn too quickly. For more information about Microsoft Outlook, we have a special website set up just for users of this class at 599cd.com/Outlook/101. QuizQ1.

SummaryToday's video from Outlook Learning Zone is an introduction to Microsoft Outlook. My aim is to provide you with a solid foundation in using Outlook and show you the core features that make it such a powerful tool for managing your email and daily tasks.We will begin by discussing exactly what Outlook is and what kinds of features it offers. I will walk you through the main parts of the Outlook interface to help you become familiar with the environment. Since email is at the heart of Outlook, we will focus much of our time on how to use its email features. Throughout the lesson, you will learn how to send new messages, read and reply to mail, and send and open file attachments. I will explain how to find and print emails, use the draft folder, and ensure your Outlook data is backed up. We will also cover how to create and use email signatures, which can save time and give your emails a more professional look. Before taking this course, it is important that you are comfortable using Windows. I highly recommend you complete Windows 101 first. If you are using Windows 98, Windows 102 is recommended; if you have Windows XP, then Windows 110 is the appropriate prerequisite. While not essential, it is also beneficial to have basic Internet knowledge, as taught in our Internet 101 class. For this instructional video, I used Microsoft Outlook XP, which is the 2002 version, along with Windows XP. However, nearly everything we cover applies equally well to earlier editions of Outlook such as 2000 and 97. The specific version of Windows you use is not critical. Keep in mind, this class is focused solely on the full Microsoft Outlook program, which you find as part of the Microsoft Office suite. This is not intended for users of Outlook Express, which comes with Internet Explorer. For those who want to learn Outlook Express, that will be available in the Internet series of classes. You should already have an active Internet email account set up and working in Microsoft Outlook before you start this course. Usually, your Internet service provider will supply you with step-by-step instructions for configuring your account, and I recommend reaching out to your provider for any account setup questions since the process can vary widely depending on your provider. Throughout the lesson, I suggest watching all the way through the first time just to get a sense of how things work. Afterwards, go through each part again, this time practicing the steps within Outlook itself. Learning at your own pace is key, so avoid rushing the process. If you are seeking even more information, resources, and guidance about Microsoft Outlook, there is a dedicated website available specifically for students of this course at 599cd.com Outlook 101. You can find a complete video tutorial with step-by-step instructions for everything discussed here on my website at the link below. Live long and prosper, my friends.
