Outlook Interface
At the top of the page there is a Menu Bar and a contextual Tool Bar. That means the Tool Bar will
change depending on what area of Outlook you are using.
On the left side there is a Navigation Pane which includes a folder list as well as buttons to jump from
one area of the Outlook Application to another. For example you can easily go from the Email area to
the Calendar area with one click on the Calendar button. The buttons can be large as the Mail and
Calendar buttons are in the view above. Or by clicking and dragging on the dots in between the folder
area and the button area you can drag down to make the buttons smaller or drag up to make the
buttons larger. The buttons to other areas are Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, Folder List and
Shortcuts.
The Navigation Pane and the To-Do Bar can be collapsed (minimized) by clicking on the double arrows
in the top right corner of each pane. The To-Do Bar is a snap shot of your calendar and Task list. The
visibility of these items is controlled in the View Menu.
