Pages 17-20: Steps for An Introduction to Journal Do Not Work
-------------------------------------------------------------
When the steps on page 19, under the subheading Check A Recorded Document In The
Journal Folder, are followed, you will not see the "Seed Catalogs Info." message
displayed.
The Journal records email messages, appointments, and tasks for contacts that you
specify. For instance, if you choose to record email messages, you must also
choose the contacts for which you wish to record this information. The steps
under the heading An Introduction To Journal, starting on page 17 and continuing
through the end of page 18, fail to specify the contact for which this
information should be recorded.
Please substitute the following steps in place of the steps found on page 17 and
18:
Add a contact to your Outlook Contacts list
1. Open Outlook if it is not already open.
2. On the Outlook Bar, click the Outlook Shortcuts group Button, and then click
the Contacts shortcut.
The Contacts information is displayed in the Information Viewer.

Windows NT Explorer.

on the shortcut menu that is displayed, click Tile Vertically.
5. On the left side of the window titled All Folders, within the Exploring
window, double-click the Outlook SBS Practice Files folder, and then
double-click the Lesson 2 folder.

your Outlook Information Viewer.

in the For These Contacts list, click Sheila Smith.
3. Click OK, and then in the Options dialog box, click OK.
The Journal now records each instance an e-mail is sent to your contact Sheila
Smith.
Open and reply to an e-mail message
1. On the Outlook Bar, click the Current Reports group button, and then click
the Seed Report Mail shortcut.
The Seed Report Mail folder is displayed in the Information Viewer.
2. On the left side of the window titled All Folders, within the Exploring
Window, double-click the Lesson 1 folder.
The contents of the Lesson 1 folder are displayed in the right side of the
Exploring window.
3. Drag the Seed Catalogs Info. message from the right side of the Exploring
window to your Outlook Information Viewer.

The message is displayed.
6. Click Reply.
7. On the To line, highlight Sheila Smith, and then press the delete key.

thanks" in the message area.

lower part of the message area.
9. Click Send, and then close the Seed Catalog Info. message.
Please continue with the steps on page 19, under the subheading Check A Recorded
Document In the Journal Folder.

Sheila Smith from your contacts list.
1. On the Outlook Bar, click the Outlook Shortcuts group button, and then click
the Contacts shortcut.
2. Click on the name "Smith, Sheila", and then from the toolbar, click the
Delete button.
Page 37: Screenshot Should Reflect SBS Practice Contacts
--------------------------------------------------------
On page 37, the screenshot should reflect the fact that you are showing names
from the SBS Practice Contacts, not from Contacts.
Page 67: My Shortcut Group Should Be Outlook Shortcut Group
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Tip at the top of page 67 indicates that the Deleted Items folder shorcut is
located in the My Shortcuts Group when it is actually in the Outlook Shortcuts
Group.
Change second sentence from:
"The shortcut to the folder is located in the My Shortcuts group."
To:
"The shortcut to the folder is located in the Outlook Shortcuts group."
Page 73: Screenshot Does Not Include Steps 5 and 6
--------------------------------------------------
On Page 73, the screenshot does not include steps 5 and 6, and should therefore
be placed before step 5.
Page 78: Survey Responses Are In Your Inbox Folder
--------------------------------------------------
On page 78, under "Track survey results", the survey results will be in your
Inbox folder not the SBS Practice Inbox folder. The screen shot on page 79, is
an accurate reflection of this.
Change the last sentence in the last paragraph from:
"In this exercise, you review the responses to your survey in your SBS Practice
Inbox folder and in your Sent Items folder."
To:
"In this exercise, you review the responses to your survey in your Inbox folder
and in your Sent Items folder."
Also change step 1 from:
"This ensures that all responses have been delivered to your SBS Practice
Inbox."
To:
"This ensures that all responses have been delivered to your Inbox."
Page 80, Step 2: Click the Calendar Shortcut Icon
-------------------------------------------------
On page 80, in Step 2, to continue to the next lesson, click the Calendar
shortcut icon.
Change:
"To continue to the next lesson, on the Outlook Bar, in the Outlook Shortcuts
group, click the Contacts shortcut icon."
To:
"To continue to the next lesson, on the Outlook Bar, in the Outlook Shortcuts
group, click the Calendar shortcut icon."
Page 91: inaccurate screenshot
------------------------------
On page 91, the screen shot may not match your computer. By default two months
will be displayed in the Date Navigator.
Page 97: Step 1 Should Be Define Views For SBS Practice Calendar
----------------------------------------------------------------
On page 97, in Step 1, the Define Views for SBS Practice Calendar dialog box
appears.
Change:
"The Define Views For Calendar dialog box appears."
To:
"The Define Views For SBS Practice Calendar dialog box appears."
Page 105, 112, 115 Screenshots For SBS Practice Calendar
--------------------------------------------------------
In Lesson 5, on pages 104, 112 and 115, the screenshots display "Calendar -
Microsoft Outlook" in the title bar. It should be "SBS Practice Calendar -
Microsoft Outlook".
Page 114: In Step 3 the Date Should Be December 24 at 4 PM
----------------------------------------------------------
On Page 114, under "Add a new category for tracking appointments", the date in
Step 3 should be December 24 at 4:00 PM as the presentation date was changed
earlier in the lesson.
Change:
"In the Appointment area, click the "CFO presentation" scheduled for December 22
at 4:00 P.M."
To:
"In the Appointment area, click the "CFO presentation" scheduled for December 24
at 4:00 P.M."
Page 108: Click Save and Close After Step 4
-------------------------------------------
On page 108, under "Move a recurring appointment to a different date", you will
need to click Save and Close to put the meeting series on the calendar.
Add Step 5:
Click Save and Close.
Page 115: Additional Step Needed To Go To Date
----------------------------------------------
On page 115, under "Finish the lesson", Step 1 instructs you to click Go To Date
from the Go menu. You can't click the Go To Date from this view, you must change
the view first.
Before Step 1, add:
On the Outlook bar, click the SBS Practice Calendar shortcut.
Page 141: The "Check on backorder" Task Is Not Displayed
--------------------------------------------------------
On page 141, under "View task assignments", step 1 says that one task "Check on
backorder", is displayed. This task has not been assigned and therefore is not
displayed.
No tasks are displayed in the Assignment list.
Page 149: Email Message Has No Sender Listed
--------------------------------------------
On page 149, under "Create a task from an e-mail message", in Step 2, the "Trade
show plans" message is not from Howard McBaine. There is no sender identified in
the e-mail.
Change Step 2:
"Select the 'Trade show plans' message from Howard McBaine, and ..."
To:
"Select the 'Trade show plans' message and ..."
Page 211: Copy Notes From Lesson 10 Folder to Outlook Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
On page 211, there are no instructions to copy the Parts Price note from the
Lesson 10 folder on the CD-ROM to the Notes folder in Outlook. Page 222 assumes
that the Parts Price note is in the Notes folder in Outlook. The AVI
demonstration file for this exercise also indicates that it should be there.
On page 211, in Step 3, add:
"Also copy the Parts Prices note to the Outlook Notes folder."
Page 236: Typo in Important Box
-------------------------------
Page 236: Typo in Important box, third sentence.
Change: "Click Advanced options, click Add-On Manager, and..."
To: "Click Advanced options, click Add-In Manager, and..."
CD-ROM: Lesson 1 Folder Contains Two Unnecessary Files
------------------------------------------------------
The Lesson 1 folder on the CD-ROM includes two unnecessary Word Documents. The
Screenshot on page 18 also shows the two unnecessary Word documents.
The Word documents entitled "Briefing", and "Sprinkler Specs", can be removed
from the Lesson 1 folder on the CD-ROM and from the screenshot on page 18.
