00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:16.040
Outlook 2010 is a Personal Information Manager
that is included with Microsoft Office 2010.

00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.020
You may already know that Outlook is used
for email, but it's also used to manage your

00:00:20.020 --> 00:00:22.730
calendar, contacts, and tasks.

00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:27.820
In this video, we're going to give you a quick
overview of the Outlook interface.

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:32.250
Like other Office programs, there is a toolbar
at the top of the screen called the Ribbon,

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.440
and you'll use this to access most of the
commands that you'll need.

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:39.870
To view more commands, you can click on a
different tab.

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:44.420
Each tab is divided into groups, so if you
know what type of command you're looking for,

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:49.010
you can often find it by looking at the group
names.

00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:52.859
If you don't want to see the Ribbon, you can
hide it by clicking this arrow in the upper-right

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:57.769
corner, and it will automatically reappear
whenever you click a tab.

00:00:57.769 --> 00:01:02.949
I'm going to click the arrow again so that
the Ribbon stays visible.

00:01:02.949 --> 00:01:06.280
Just above the Ribbon is the Quick Access
Toolbar.

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.460
By default, it only has a couple of buttons,
but you can click the drop-down arrow to add

00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:13.990
more.

00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:17.200
The main part of the window is called the
View pane.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.010
Right now, this is showing my Inbox, but it
will show different information depending

00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:24.640
on which feature you're currently using.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.910
To the left is the Navigation pane, and you
can use this to choose which folder appears

00:01:28.910 --> 00:01:32.390
in the View pane.

00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:36.860
In the lower-left are the View tabs, and you
can use these to switch between different

00:01:36.860 --> 00:01:40.190
views in Outlook.

00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:44.680
On the right side of the screen is the To
Do bar, which shows calendar and appointment

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.350
information, and just like the Ribbon you
can minimize it if you want more screen space.

00:01:50.350 --> 00:01:53.690
And at the bottom of the page are several
view options.

00:01:53.690 --> 00:01:58.760
These let you zoom in and out, and you can
also switch to Reading view, which minimizes

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.360
the toolbars to let you focus on the View
pane.

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:06.990
To show the toolbars, you can go back to Normal
view.

00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:11.730
If you want to Save, Open, or Print something,
you'll need to click the File tab, which takes

00:02:11.730 --> 00:02:14.310
you to Backstage view.

00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:18.620
On the left side, you'll see several tabs
that you can click to view different options.

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:22.840
By default, it's showing the Account information,
and this is where you would go to adjust your

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:29.070
account settings, or set up an Automatic Reply
if you're going to be out of the office.

00:02:29.070 --> 00:02:33.710
Open lets you import information, like a calendar
or a list of contacts.

00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:37.870
You'll go to Print if you want to print an
email or calendar.

00:02:37.870 --> 00:02:41.500
Help lets you view Microsoft Office Help.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:47.330
And finally, Options will open a dialog box
that lets you customize Outlook.

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:51.050
You may want to take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with all of these different toolbars

00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:54.310
and features, and then you'll be ready to
start using Outlook.
