Many of us wish there were more hours in the day. We go into work in the morning with good intentions—determined to get caught up—but somehow when we leave at night we have the same number of items (or more!) on our To Do lists. We are inundated every day with a mountain of e-mail messages; tasks to identify, assign, and act on; meetings to schedule and attend; and calls to make and respond to. The new features in Microsoft^® Office Outlook^® 2007 can help you make the most of the time you have and even take you a few steps closer to being caught up. By using the task management, e-mail filtering, and calendar sharing capabilities in the 2007 release, you’ll be spending more time on the tasks that really matter and less time on distracting details such as sorting through unwanted e-mail, searching for lost messages, and struggling to find meeting times for your group.
