eGIX TIP

Looking Out With OUTLOOK®

Faster contacts with nicknames: Every contact record in Outlook includes a field called Nickname. While you could actually enter a friend's nickname there (which is what most users think it is for and therefore don't use it), it is a great way to make name matching more precise when sending e-mails.

To use this field, go to a contact's record, click the Details tab, and enter a name that you'll use as a shortcut for calling up the person's info. It can also be useful for differentiating similar close names. For instance, if you have a series of Smiths-Anne, Barrett, Charles-you could enter a nickname for each, such as AS, BS, or Chuck. You don't have to type the full name, or choose the right Smith from a pop-up list, to pinpoint the Smith you're addressing: you simply type their nickname into the "To:" field of your e-mail message.

Find a contact's address on a map: If your PC is connected to the Internet, you can get a map and driving instructions of a contact's address. Click Contacts on the Outlook bar, then select the contact. From the File menu, select Open, Selected Items. Under the Address button, click the down arrow, then click the address you want mapped: Business, Home, or Other. Now go to the Actions menu and click Display Map of Address. Outlook now goes to the MSN Maps Web site to pinpoint the address on a map. Use the controls on that page to further customize your exact directional needs.

DISPLAY KEY HOT TIP

Reset DisplayKEY Cradle

A tiny opening located next to the telephone ports houses the reset switch. If you place your Key on the Cradle and no lights illuminate in the Cradle's LED, this indicates that the Cradle has become locked and will not function. The Cradle must be reset to perform the battery recharge or complete an e SYNC.

Select one of the following methods to reset the DisplayKEY Cradle:

• Unplug the Cradle's power cord from the wall outlet then plug it back into the outlet.
• Insert one end of a paper clip into the reset opening and press the reset switch inside to reactivate the Cradle.
