Introduction
QuickSteps books are recipe books for computer users. They
answer the question, “How do I...” by providing a quick
set of steps to accomplish the most common tasks with a
particular operating system or application.
The sets of steps are the central focus of the book. QuickSteps
sidebars show how to quickly perform many small functions
or tasks that support the primary functions. QuickFacts
sidebars supply information that you need to know about a
subject. Notes, Tips, and Cautions augment the steps; they
are presented in a separate column so as not to interrupt the
fl ow of the steps. The introductions are minimal rather than
narrative, and numerous illustrations and fi gures, many with
callouts, support the steps.
QuickSteps books are organized by function and the tasks
needed to perform that function. Each function is a chapter.
Each task, or “How To,” contains the steps needed for
accomplishing the function, along with the relevant Notes,
Tips, Cautions, and screenshots. You can easily fi nd the tasks
you need through:
• The table of contents, which lists the functional areas
(chapters) and tasks in the order they are presented
• A How To list of tasks on the opening page of each chapter
• The index, which provides an alphabetical list of the
terms that are used to describe the functions and tasks
• Color-coded tabs for each chapter, or functional area,
with an index to the tabs in the Contents at a Glance
section (just before the table of contents)

Conventions Used in this Book
Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 QuickSteps uses several conventions
designed to make the book easier for you to follow:
• A or a in the table of contents and in the How
To list in each chapter references a QuickSteps or
QuickFacts sidebar in a chapter.
• Bold type is used for words or objects on the screen
that you are to do something with—for example,
“click the File button, and click Print.”
• Italic type is used for a word or phrase that is being
defined or otherwise deserves special emphasis.
• Underlined type is used for text that you are to type
from the keyboard.
• SMALL CAPITAL LETTERS are used for keys on the
keyboard, such as ENTER and SHIFT.
• When you are expected to enter a command, you
are told to press the key(s). If you are to enter text or
numbers, you are told to type them.
