Microsoft Office Outlook
I presented yesterday at my penultimate presentation in Farnham which was a lot of fun. Lots of questions were asked, so here’s some answers to some of those asked.
Not sure what version of Microsoft Office you have?
Open up any of your Microsoft Office programs (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc…), click on ‘help’ in the toolbar and select ‘About Microsoft Outlook/Word/Excel etc…)
How to back up emails, files, and folders within Outlook.
Firstly, I apologise for slipping in the word ‘pst’ into my presentation without explaining what it meant. A pst file or ‘.pst’, stands for Personal Storage Table (yawn!) and an explanation of it can be found here.
An Outlook Backup Tutorial can be found here. (no point re-inventing the wheel eh?
)
How to back up emails, files, and folders within Entourage.

How to mail merge in Outlook
Using Outlook 2003 click here, and using Outlook 2007 (because you need to start in Word and pull the information over rather than push from Outlook), click here.
Many of the other questions asked of me can be found in a previous post. Click here to read about it or read through some of my recent posts.
Please note, the links and information on the Internet didn’t all get posted in the last few days, most have been up for years and haven’t been purposely hidden from you. If you need further information about a particular issue regarding your IT, chances are someone else has already had it and discussed it online using something like a forum. Simply type in a question or problem using a search engine and you should find yourself a few solutions.
Even better, why not pick up the phone and call an IT expert close by you so you can get some solutions to your problems as well as get some new ideas on how to run your business better. I recommed you type in your postcode here and call up a local Small Business Specialist. I used to be one before I changed jobs so I know that they’ll be able to help you.
