Software Covered in This Book

This book explicitly covers the most popular PC hardware and software combination in the world -- Microsoft software running on IBM-compatibles with Intel chip sets. Whenever someone writes about software it is hard to prevent the text from becoming obsolete by newer versions of the software. This book was prepared using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01 and 5.5, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Outlook 2000, Microsoft Office 2000, and Microsoft Windows ME. The menu choices and feature sets described in this text reflect those versions. Often the features described are located in a different menu location, or are missing all together in earlier versions. In many instances, I have noted when a particular feature was added to the software program. One quick note: Most of the features noted in Internet Explorer 5.x’s Tools → Internet Options are located under View → Internet Options in Explorer 4.x.
