When you're busy, it can be difficult to schedule everything you need to do and stay in close contact with friends, family, and business associates. Microsoft Office 2013 Outlook for Windows helps you get organized, so you'll never miss an important event or lose someone's contact information. From to-do lists to email management, the features in Outlook are designed to make you more productive and efficient.
Organize Your Life
Outlook gives you a simple way to keep track of important dates and events along with a visual reference so you can consult your schedule at a glance. You can also share your calendar with others, so coworkers, clients, and friends know when and where things are happening. Outlook also lets you adjust your contact list to remove duplicates and merge cards simply and quickly.
Stay Connected
You can set up Outlook to send and receive mail from your favorite email providers, so you can keep all your information from multiple accounts in one place. The convenient navigation bar lets you instantly access the messages that are important and file the ones you can deal with later. With Microsoft Outlook, you'll also get all of the most recent updates from your contacts on social media sites.
Find and Filter
Shift between your email and calendar to coordinate meetings or events, or search through all of your emails to find the one you need. A convenient weather bar helps make scheduling outdoor events easier.
