Outlook Express Tips


Outlook Express is a very powerful and useful program.

Some of the features of Outlook Express include:

1. You can mark
( By holding down the left mouse button.)
text and graphics on Usenet or the Web,
and even data from files on your own computer,
and drag the information onto an existing "post"
or a new "post"

2. You can create folders that you can use to
store the "posts" in.

3. You can save the data in "posts"
to "TXT" files that can be viewed on
most MP3 and  MP4 players, hand held and lap top computers,
and E-Book Readers.

4. You can use free programs such as
ABC Amber Outlook Express to create indexed PDF files
of sets of "posts".

5. You can use Outlook Express for maintaining URL data bases.
( A more powerful and flexible "Bookmark" system. )
Web Page with interesting URL's, can be marked and dragged
onto a new or existing "post".

Clicking on a "post" lists all of the URL's in that "post"
and clicking on the URL in the "review" window
calls up the web page in your browser.

For example you can create "posts" of categories like
shareware, personal, science, history, cooking, etc.
drag URL's and pages of URL's into the posts,
and when you click on your "URL" folder,
and a specific category ("Post"),
you will see the URL's in the "review" window,
click on the one of interest and zoom to the Web site.

 6. Outlook Express also has a fast search engine,
that you can quickly find anything in your data base,
be it data from Usenet, the Web or your personal computer.

As you can mark and drag graphics and associated text 
onto a "post", graphic can be quickly found using the
Outlook Express search feature.

The bottom line is:

you can create a set of "folders" in Outlook Express
with such names as personal, graphics, history, science, etc.

create "posts" for accumulating sub sets of data
for "history" as an example, such as Greek, Roman, American, etc

and if you want to find and access data or a URL about "Caesar"
you click on the "history" folder,
click on the "Roman" "post"
view the post in the "review" window,
click on a URL to jump to a Web site,
or click on the "post" to read, copy, convert, print,
or otherwise use the data.
