Outlook Transition

We are transitioning to Outlook from GroupWise at work. I personally am not having any issues with it, but I'm hearing all sorts of comments from other users. Everything from "I hate It" to the most common "I use to be able to do this, how do I do it now?" Here's a tip I found on TechRepublic, which is a very useful source for all kinds of things techy.

CTRL-N will open a NEW appointment if you are in the calendar or a NEW message if you are in the Mail Box. If you are not in the Calendar, CTRL-SHIFT-A will open a NEW appointment, and CTRL-SHIFT-M will open a NEW message if you outside of the Mailbox.

If you are like me you like the keyboard better than the Mouse and here was TechRepublic's advice on hour to use the keyboard to input a NEW Task.

Here's the tab sequence of a new Task:
1) CTRL-N from Calendar view (or CTRL-SHIFT-A from other views) to start a new appointment. This starts you into the Subject Line.
2) Tab to the Location
3) Tab to the start Date. You can use a m/d format such as 9/31 and it will fill in the rest.
4) Tab to the Start Time. You can type a short time (5pm for example) and it will fill it in, or you can type in a precise time like 9:07a to be exact.
5) Tab to the End Date
6) Tab to the End Time (type in the time for any interval you desire).
7) Tab again for an all day event. If you are keeping track, you can enter the start date and quickly hit tab four times to land here and select all day.
8) One more tab drops you into the memo field for the appointment and from here tabs are treated as tabs in a word processor.
