Microsoft Outlook 97

Changing settings in your Microsoft Outlook 97
Microsoft Outlook is one of the components in the Microsoft Office 97 package. It is believed that this is a re-designed model of the MS Exchange Client. MS Outlook is more than an e-mail program. It can be used for other services such as net news, fax, Intranet mail and more.  Because of its may features, Outlook may be somewhat confusing for some users.  If you are not a Internet savvy user, CWO recommends that you us a mail program other than Outlook.
