Get a Quick Start on Creating or Opening a Document

You can create or open a document or database by using the Windows Start menu or by using the Office Shortcut Bar. When you use the Shortcut Bar, you can access documents and databases with the click of a button.

If the Shortcut Bar isn’t displayed, start it from the folder in which you installed Microsoft Office.

Use Microsoft Outlook to Manage Time and Information

The Shortcut Bar also gives you quick access to Microsoft Outlook. Use Outlook to manage your calendar, meetings, contact list, and tasks; send e-mail; and share information.
