All Things Outlook

<p> Microsoft officially released Office 2010 final version on Monday the 14th. I wrote a blog article about what I thought on the matter of upgrading your current version.<br /> <a href="http://www.realtown.com/larry2/blog/getting-ready-for-office-2010"><strong>Getting Ready For Office 2010</strong></a><br /> <br /> We also released Version 4.0 of <a href="http://www.realeseller.com"><strong>RealeSeller</strong></a> yesterday. The upgrade is free for anyone who purchased our software this year. Those who purchased our software prior to 2010 have a minimal $100 upgrade fee. Our classes are still free. The major new feature in this release is the Transaction report.<br /> <br /> Things seem to be getting better for most real estate agents as the economy continues to improve. But, I&#39;m sure we are in for at least a year or two more of &quot;slow&quot; before it goes back to something exciting. One way to look at it is, if you are still in the business then you will be the first to benefit from the turn around which is happening. Nothing ever happens as fast as we would like, but that&#39;s always the way things have been. My daughter mentioned &quot;fair&quot; the other day and I reminded her that &quot;fair&quot; is just a word and life isn&#39;t required to be &quot;fair&quot; and she knows that as she was brought up being taught to accept that only us human beings make things &quot;fair&quot; and it is by choice we do that.<br /> <br /> <strong>Larry Perry<br /></strong><a href="http://www.realeseller.com/"><strong>RealeSeller</strong></a><strong>™</strong> Transforms Outlook Into a &quot;Genuine Real Estate CRM Application&quot;<br /> Our Online RealeSeller training classes are FREE!<br /> <strong>Phone:</strong> (972) 514-3218<br /> <strong>Email:</strong> <a href="http://www.realeseller.com/">Larry@realeseller.com</a><br /> <strong>Web:</strong> <a href="http://www.realeseller.com/">www.realeseller.com</a><br /> <strong>Blog:</strong> <a href="http://www.realtown.com/larry2/blog/">The Real Blog</a><br /> </p>

<p> If you would like to get a <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=74872&amp;u=318180&amp;m=11963&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=">FREE copy of Outlook 2007</a></strong>, most if not all companies that host Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes will give you a copy of the software to use as long as you have their mailbox and the cost is only about $10 a month. This gives you several things in addition to a free copy of Outlook 2007. The Automatic Backup of your database, as well as the ability to check your email and see your client data, tasks, calendar, etc. online from any computer with a browser and an internet connection. Email can also be pushed to your phone if you wish (an extra charge). Those with Blackberry&#39;s love that!<br /> <br /> One thing to remember if you are currently using Microsoft Office 2003. While you can replace Outlook 2003 with Outlook 2007, your suite of programs may not act like they do now. Automatically using some 2003 programs after installing Outlook 2007 may no longer be possible so just keep that in mind before trying to install the free version of Outlook 2007. Mail merge, etc. may be affected in an adverse manner.<br /> <br /> The majority of our current customers that are using Outlook with an exchange server are using <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=74872&amp;u=318180&amp;m=11963&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=">123together.com</a> and I can tell you from personal experience, they are top shelf! And they also offer the free copy of Outlook 2007. And once installed, you can also install <a href="http://www.realeseller.com">RealeSeller</a> and try it out. <a href="http://www.realeseller.com">RealeSeller</a> works perfectly with an exchange server. Remember to go offline before you install RealeSeller over Outlook as the exchange server will be trying to sync Outlook during the install process and that sometimes causes weird things to happen.<br /> <br /> Wishing a Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone!<br /> <br /> <strong>Larry Perry</strong><br /> <strong><a href="http://www.realeseller.com/"><font color="#1C4D90">RealeSeller</font></a>™</strong> Transforms Outlook Into a &quot;Genuine Real Estate CRM Application&quot;<br /> <strong>Phone:</strong> (972) 514-3218<br /> <strong>Skype:</strong> RealeSeller.Larry<br /> <strong>Web:</strong> <a href="http://www.realeseller.com/"><font color="#1C4D90">www.realeseller.com</font></a><br /> </p>

<p> First, Welcome to <strong>All Things Outlook</strong>! </p> <p> While my company does sell an addin (<a href="http://www.realeseller.com">RealeSeller</a>) for Outlook, that is not the primary purpose for this discussion area. I know that there are many, many questions related to Outlook and its sister programs like Word and Publisher that need answers. Hopefully here is where you can get them. If you consider yourself an expert on Outlook, Word, Publisher, or any other program in the Microsoft Office suite, please contact me if you would like to be added as an expert in this group. All questions and suggestions for this subject and this group are welcome.<br /> <br /> Please start a new thread when asking a new question please. </p> <p> To make things a little easier to answer, please post the following information along with your question or problem as it may make a difference as to the answer you get: </p> <p> <strong>Operating system:</strong> Windows 2000, XP, Vista and service pack if known.<br /> <strong>Outlook Version:</strong> Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and service pack if known.<br /> <br /> </p> <p> <strong>Larry</strong><br /> <strong><a href="http://www.realeseller.com">RealeSeller</a></strong> - <strong>Transforms Outlook Into a &quot;<i>Genuine Real Estate CRM Application</i>&quot;<br /> (972) 514-3218<br /></strong><strong>Training Classes are FREE<br /></strong> </p>
