E-mail has become the most popular way to communicate with friends, relatives and business associates. There are no toll call rates to pay and you can send messages in the middle of the night without waking people up.
Managing your e-mail messages is much easier if you set up message rules that store e-mail in separate folders. M/S Outlook Express lets you specify the criteria it will use in saving messages to various folders.
Here's how it's done. From within Outlook Express, click on Tools. Click on Message Rules and then on Mail. You can now select the conditions for your new rule by clicking in a box in the "Select the Conditions for your rule:" section of the New Mail Rule window.
Sections in this window are numbered from 1 to 4. There are several choices here, ranging from words contained in the From or Subject lines, to messages that have attachments. In our example,
I'll click on the "Where the From line contains people". The line "Where the from line contains people" will appear in section 3, Rule Description. The words "contains people" are underlined and appear in color. Click on "contains people" and the Select People window opens. You can type in one name at a time or click on the Address Book button to add people in your address book to this rule.
The People box will display each name you type in quotes. Click OK when you are finished adding people. The "contains people" line will now contain the names you added, underlined and highlighted in color. Now select an action for the rule by clicking next to one of the available actions in section 2 of the New Mail Rule window.
Choices here allow you to move or copy messages that meet the criteria for your rule to separate folders. One of the choices here is to highlight selected messages with color, making it easy to identify.
This is a good choice if you don't want your e-mail messages saved in different folders. I use different colors for different people. Each time you click in the box next to an action, that action appears underlined and in color in box 3. Clicking on it in box 3 allows you to set up conditions.
If you specify moving messages to a specified folder, clicking lets you create a new folder or pick one that already exists.
Outlook Express will give your new rule a name, e.g. New Mail Rule #1 in section 4. you can click on that name, use your backspace key to remove it, and then type the name you want to assign to the rule.
Click OK when you are finished. Click on the "Apply Now" button on the Mail Rules tab, highlight the new rule and click the "Apply Now" button in the Apply Mail Rules Now window.
Outlook Express will apply your new rule to any existing e-mail messages that meet the conditions for that rule. Click OK. Click on Close and then on OK. Managing your e-mail messages in Outlook Express just got easier.

TIPS ON E-MAIL

Outlook Express (OE) may be the defacto standard for e-mail readers. When you open a session in OE you'll see at least three columns, labeled From, Subject and Received (the date you received the message). You can rearrange the order these columns appear in by clicking on a column heading and then dragging it left or right.
You can resize a column by placing your mouse cursor on the vertical bar separating the columns, and when the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow, dragging it to the left or right.
You can also sort e-mail messages in your Inbox view by right-clicking on any column heading and then clicking on Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.
You can control the columns that are displayed in your Inbox view by right-clicking on any column heading and then clicking on Column. The default settings will show any message priority, attachment or flag. Take a look at the other settings.
OE makes use of keyboard shortcuts. To send your e-mail messages you can click on Send, or hold down the Ctrl key and press the letter S. While holding down the Ctrl key you can also press R to receive e-mail, or M to send and check for new mail.
To send a new message you can click on the New Mail icon, or you can hold down the Ctrl key and press N. Press R while holding the Ctrl key down lets you respond to a message, or you can click the Reply Icon.
Finally, you can click on View on the menu bar at the top of your OE window to access things like current view, message sorting, columns and text size.

Microsoft Word can make printing labels easy if you know the tricks. Here's how to create labels the easy way.
Avery labels are the standard in most work places today, and Microsoft made Avery labels the default label manufacturer in Word 2000. Microsoft Word also maintains a database of labels made by other companies. To find the database click on Tools, and then on Envelopes and Labels. Click on the Labels tab, then on the Options button. You can select from about 15 manufacturers and Word will display product numbers for the labels available from each.
If you use labels made by manufacturers not listed in the database, or if your listed label product settings are not correct, you can adjust the settings if you know the proper dimensions for the label. To do so, click on Tools, then on Envelopes and Labels. Click the Options button and select your label from the Label Products and Product Number drop-down menus. Click the Details button to open a dialog box that reveals the setting Word will use for that label. Change the settings as needed, and when you have it aligned properly, you'll need to save your new custom label settings with a new name, as Word will keep the original settings for that product number label.
To print labels, click on Tools and then open Envelopes And Labels. Configure the label window with whatever content you want your label to show, click to print either a single label or a whole sheet of labels with the same content information, and now just click on the Print button.
