It’s easy to create a signature that includes the information you want— whether it’s a plain signature with just your name or an elaborate one with a photo, hyperlink, contact details, and several lines of text formatted for clarity and emphasis. Set a signature to appear by default, or add one with a quick right-click. Creating, managing, and using e-mai signatures is easy.
Customize your calendar – Did you know that the views in your Outlook calendar are fully customizable? For example, you can view your days and weeks in increments of 5 minutes, 60 minutes, and a variety of periods in between. You can adjust the view of your calendar according to your work week and work day; for instance, you can display Sunday through Thursday and show a normal day as being 11 in the morning to 7 in the evening if you like. Use different color schemes, and show more or less detail in your calendar.
 
Find needles in a haystack with Instant Search – If you’re buried in e-mail (and who isn’t?), Instant Search in Outlook 2007 can save the day for you — every day. The new Instant Search helps you quickly find e-mail messages, appointments, contacts, or any Outlook item. You don’t even need to know which folder the item is in. Watch the demo to see how to use this fast search feature, and start finding what you want instantly.
Share contact information with Electronic Business Cards – Traditional paper business cards are a time-honored and effective way to get business and contact information out to current and prospective clients. But these days, a lot of business is done in e-mail. So how do you make sure that people know how to reach you? Try an Electronic Business Card (or EBC), part of the Contacts feature in Outlook. An EBC is simple to create and you can easily add your company logo or a picture of yourself. And when you use an EBC as part of your e-mail signature, customers and friends will see it in a format that looks good and is easy for them to save.
Up to speed – Learn how the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar put the commands you need right at your fingertips. You’ll see that it’s quick and easy to compose and format your message, add attachments, and then send. Tracking tasks, making appointments, scheduling meetings, working with contacts — Outlook makes it all easier than ever.
PowerPoint 2007 Demo:

Built-in effects are a good choice when you’re pushed for time. As you move your pointer over the list of options, you see a live preview of how the animation will look on your slide. If you want to choreograph more complex effects, PowerPoint lets you choose from dozens of options to build unique visuals and sound.
