New features in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 ( Part II)

Continued………….

Quick Steps

· Quick Steps are one-click buttons that can perform multiple actions at the same time. Users can create their own Quick Steps to manage their e-mail with a single click.

Multiple Exchange accounts

· Outlook 2010 can connect to multiple Exchange accounts at the same time. The Exchange accounts can be in the same or different domains or servers.

Improved IMAP support

IMAP accounts are easier to set up in Outlook 2010 than in earlier versions. When users add a new account in Outlook 2010, the automatic configuration of a Webmail account will set the account type to IMAP by default for IMAP-supported Webmail accounts such as Google Gmail. Note that users can change the account type to POP3 by selecting the Manually configure server settings option in the Add New Account dialog box.
The Delete and Send operations for IMAP accounts are also improved in Outlook 2010. IMAP accounts now have a separate Deleted Items folder. Also, Outlook 2010 does not prompt for a Sent Items folder, as Office Outlook 2007 did. This is consistent with Outlook behavior for other e-mail account types.

What’s New in Office OneNote 2010 (Part – III)

To be continued………………..

Mini-Translation tooltips: OneNote can now show you a tooltip with a translation into your native language when your mouse hovers over a foreign language word. Great for language students, or if you’re working in a bi-lingual situation and need help understanding a word in a shared notebook or that you clipped from the web.

Research and note-taking improvements: OneNote is often used as a companion while researching topics and collecting information (e.g. a market analysis study, a class paper, a home renovation, a car purchase and so on). This often involves looking at web pages or documents and taking notes. You could also be reviewing a document or class lecture slides and taking notes as you’re looking through them. We’ve enhanced a number of things to make this experience better.
Docked OneNote: you can dock OneNote to the side of your screen. It docks alongside other windows (e.g. browser, Word, PowerPoint). OneNote minimizes UI and just shows the notes page alongside your document/browser.
Linked Note Taking: while in this mode, OneNote automatically links the notes you take to what you’re looking at – the web page URL, the selection point in Word, the current slide in PowerPoint. Later in OneNote you can hover on that link and you’ll see a thumbnail preview of the original document, you can click on it and it will open and take you back to what you were looking at when you wrote the note.
