Entourage 2001 for Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide deals with Entourage--the latest addition to Microsoft Office for Mac OS--a personal information manager that integrates electronic mail and Usenet news with your address book and calendar. The book describes how Entourage works in a way that appeals to adherents of at least two styles of learning.
The approach used is unusual. Rather than present an entire sequenced procedure next to a single, large illustration, author Steve Schwartz intermingles most steps with small illustrations that clarify exactly what to do. For instance, when explaining how to open linked items, the procedure appears next to two separate screen shots. One shows which menu command to choose; the other shows the window you'll get as a result. Both illustrations are small, but large enough to add meaning to the text.
Most users will probably choose to use this book as a reference by locating relevant coverage in the table of contents (which looks much like a list of tasks) or the index. Once you've located the page you want, it's easy to accomplish the immediate task and then flip back and forth for a few pages to find out about capabilities you might not have known about. --David Wall
Topics covered: all of Entourage's user-level capabilities--including contact management, calendaring, electronic-mail, newsgroups, notes and linking.
