Locate an Address with Contact Maps
Microsoft Office Outlook can do more than just store your contact information. Outlook Contacts has a map feature that can help locate a contact's address for you.
If you have entered a complete address for a person or business in your contact list, it takes only a few clicks to bring up a map for that location. And if you want written directions, that is only another click away.
View a map
for an address
in Contacts:
In an open Contact, in the Addresses section, click
the arrow, and then click the type of address that you want
to find on a map — Business, Home, or Other.
Tip The Addresses section is in the lower-left portion of the contact form (contact form: A view of an individual contact that contains all the information stored in the contact.). The arrow is next to a button that displays one of the address types.
On the Contact tab, in the Communicate group, click Map.
Along with viewing a map that shows the location of the contact's address, you have the options to zoom in or out, print the map, and get written directions.

Reasons 'Virtualization' Saves Money
What about small business? The good news is if you are a small business owner, there are plenty of short- and long-term benefits from virtualization-and you don't need a big budget. (That makes virtualization attractive in a brutal economic climate.) |

Most articles
about virtualization discuss the technology in the context
of "big" business. They are glowing about the potential for
"data center consolidation" or "reduced system maintenance
expenses." Or they rave about the prospects for a better
disaster recovery plan, better security and extra
flexibility for employees.
Ultimate Tips for Web
Searching in Less Time

Most of us use search engines every day, but few know how to make the most of those searches. Given the enormous amount of information on the Internet, almost any search you do will yield thousands, or even millions of results. But if they aren’t the right results, they don’t do you any good. And who has time to spend trawling through loads of “sort of useful” information?
Fortunately, there are a few tricks to help you better focus your searches so you get the information you need in less time. Here are five search engine best practices to try next time you need to search.
1. Use quotes
to find a specific phrase
In order to find an entire phrase in a search, enter
quotation marks (“ ”) around the terms.
