Outlook... Not Just for Email! Using Your Outlook Contacts Written by Janet Barclay
If you use Outlook for your email, chances are you have a number, possibly a large number, of email addresses stored in Contacts section. You've probably discovered that you can address messages to one or more of your contacts several different ways with just a click of mouse. But if this is only way you use your Contacts, you're not using feature to its full capacity. Here are a few other ways you can tap into full power of Outlook.* Create a contact from an email message Drag and drop a message onto Contacts folder, and a new Contact will automatically be created, using name and email address from message header. The message body will appear in Notes section, which can be a valuable reminder of why person contacted you in first place. If sender has provided their website address, mailing address, telephone number, or other important information, you can copy and paste this information into appropriate fields. * Assign categories to your contacts If you have a lot of contacts, it is very easy to lose track of people, including prospective clients. By assigning one or more categories to each contact, you can easily locate names of people you need to contact for a specific reason. Outlook comes with several standard categories, but you will likely want to create some of your own, based on your individual needs. Click on Edit - Categories - Master Category List, and type in your new category. Any categories added to Master Category List will also be available in Outlook Calendar and Tasks sections.

When deciding logo that best describe your company and business, there are many choices to consider. Whether you choose to use text or symbols, or both, it's how your audience react to your logo that is important.Here are a few suggestions on how you could make your logo work for you: •The logo should be compatible with your image. Your logo should be compatible to image you want to project. If your business is in financial or legal industry, you will probably want a logo that is conservative in design and color. Maroon, dark teal and navy blue are popular color selections for projecting a conservative image. On other hand, if you are an artist, or connected with a high-tech computer company, you may opt for a logo that speaks of a more abstract and contemporary element. Different shapes and symbols are good choices for an abstract look. Using black and white for colors also provide a contemporary look and feel to your design. •The logo should be simple and straightforward. Your logo should be straightforward to avoid confusion in your message. It should be simple because people often process an image in their mind more readily than words alone. Another reason for your logo to be simple is that you would have an easier time later to resize and recolor it for various design purposes. The simpler your logo, easier it is for you to re-structure. Keep various sizes of your logo, a web version and a print version. Even a black-and-white version. Always plan ahead. You may never know when or where your business will expand in future.
