Preparing for the holidays with Outlook

News

SnowmenIt’s that time again; the last holidays of the year are coming up! If you are a planner, you probably have written your entire To-Do List in Outlook already, have scheduled all the family visits in your calendar and synchronized everything to your mobile device too; all things digital! ;-)

But why stop there? Outlook can be great to manage your list of Christmas cards to send out as well with the use of categories and a mail merge from your Contacts folder. Of course you can directly send a digital card from Outlook too but automating the addressing of envelopes for real cards can be done as well.

All the information you need and links to templates and images you can use can be found in this special Christmas guide.

Free e-book: “First Look: Microsoft Office 2010”

News

For a limited time, Microsoft Press is offering the e-book “First Look: Microsoft Office 2010” for free and without any required registration.

The main focus of this book is of course highlighting the new features in Office 2010. For Outlook that is for example, the new full-Ribbon-style interface, Backstage, the redesigned Conversation View, Conversation Cleanup, Quick Steps, the Social Connector/People Pane and the new Schedule View (which replaces the “Plan a Meeting” and “Group Schedules” feature).

Other applications that are being discussed are: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint Workspace (this used to be called Groove), Publisher and Access. In addition, some “better together” scenarios are being discussed as well as the security and permissions features that are introduced or improved throughout Office 2010.

Corporate Signatures and Disclaimers: Setup and deployment guide

Corporate Signature buttonWithin a company, you usually want to control the signatures that users are using when sending mail outside of the company. Most companies want to include at least a “disclaimer” text, others want to control the amount of contact details as well and still others want to control the entire look and feel of the signature.

Outlook offers no direct means to do this since the Signature feature in Outlook is a client side feature and thus users can create and modify their own signature. You can lock down the access to the Signature feature by using Group Policies but that still doesn’t take away the issue of creating/generating a standard signature in the first place and deploying it to the users.

This guide discusses the features that Exchange offers to create and manage signatures at server level. Also, additional methods are being discussed to manage it without an Exchange server. Finally, an overview of 3rd party solutions is provided for alternative solutions.
