You can schedule events in the Microsoft Entourage Calendar just as you would with a wall calendar. When you enroll in a class or other regularly recurring event, it will appear on your calendar at intervals you specified.
The Address Book is a great place to store all kinds of information in Microsoft Entourage  names, phone numbers, addresses, even pictures. And the Address Book is also available in Microsoft Word, so, once you`ve stocked it with information about the people in your life, you can use that information to print an envelope or mailing labels.
Create electronic notes in Microsoft Entourage just as you would on sticky notes. Use notes to jot down Web addresses, questions, or ideas. When you link a particular task, such as "Watering," to a note that contains details about your garden`s watering schedule, you can quickly locate the information you need without performing a search.
When you handle an ongoing project, such as planting a garden, you can create and manage a list of tasks in Microsoft Entourage, and receive timely reminders as the tasks become due.
Microsoft Entourage 2001 can easily import contacts directly from a number of personal information managers (PIMs). To see the list, click Import on the File menu in Entourage. If the PIM you want to import from is on the list, the Import Assistant can lead you through the process. But what if you are switching from Outlook® 2000, Outlook Express 5 for Windows®, or some other PIM that Entourage cannot import from directly? You`re in luck:
Invite one or more people to lunch by sending them an electronic invitation, which automatically adds the date to the Microsoft Entourage Calendar. You can easily change or cancel the event in Entourage as well.
The Address Book is a handy place to store the addresses and phone numbers of friends, family, and business contacts. Make it easier to use by organizing your contacts into groups and assigning them to color-coded categories.
You can use the Address Book to store the e-mail, work, and home addresses of friends and family, as well as their phone and fax numbers, birthdays, and anniversaries. So why not add their pictures, too? That way, you`ll have a nice reminder of them each time you browse the Address Book.
