Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell

Name

Notes → View Menu

Synopsis

Outlook provides five preconfigured views for displaying notes:

• Icons—displays notes as colored icons, sorted by date created. Icons view contains three subviews:

  • Large Icons shows each note as a large icon, ordered left-to-right, with the first several words of the note title below the icon.

  • Small Icons represents each note as a small icon with the note title to the right of the icon. When the note’s title is short, this view orders icons left to right; for longer note titles icons are ordered in rows.

  • List displays your notes as small icons, title to the right of the icon, each note beginning a new row in the view.

• Notes List—Table view with notes sorted by the date/time created or modified.

• Last Seven Days—Table view, filtered to show only those notes created or modified in the last seven days.

• By Category—groups notes in a Table view by category assigned and sorted within each category by date created or modified.

• By Color—groups notes in a Table view by color, and again, sorted within these groups by date.

Select a view using View → Current View, Tools → Organize, or through the Organize button on the toolbar, if available. From the Organize pane, click the Using Views tab, and then choose one of the five options from the list. Changing the view affects not only your view of the notes, but also the options available in the View menu and on the toolbar. The Icon types are only available when the Organize → Icons option is active. ...
