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.

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.

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.
