Hello,

You may find it helpful to know how to sort emails in Outlook Express
folders. And it's about time I added something to this wonderful mailing
list!!

Sorting Emails. . .

Go to the folder that you want to sort.

Go to the View menu (Alt + V) and arrow down to Sort By.

Press Enter to go to the sub menu, then use the arrow keys to select the
different sort options. There is a list of different fields to sort by. For
example, to organize the folder by the date the emails were received, arrow
down to Received and press Enter. 

Some users find sorting by From is also very useful. This sorts your email
messages by the sender's email address.

In addition to choosing the field name that you want to sort by, there are
also two separate options at the bottom of the Sort By sub menu. These are
Ascending and Descending. Once you have selected your field to sort by, e.g.
Received, you then have to go back into the View menu and Sort By sub menu
to then select ascending or descending. If you choose ascending, the most
recent messages will be at the bottom of the message list in the folder. And
descending will put the most recent messages at the top of the list.

Likewise, if you chose From as your sort field, and you then choose
ascending, the messages will be sorted by the sender's email address from A
down to Z. Descending with From as the sort field will be the other way
round.

Hope this is helpful.

All the best
Sharon

Subject: [vip_students] Re: email folder contents

    Hi All,
I have made a few folders in my Outlook express to sort out my emails - 
thanks to the list! Now I wonder can I organise the contents of a folder. 
For instance, I have a folder with all the excel tutorials in it. 
Unfortunately when I was moving the excel emails into it they were not put 
in order. Now I am going up and won the list to find specific lessons. I 
would love to rearrange them so that they are numerical - can anyone help?

Regards,
Petrina

> In This Lesson.  This lesson contains exercises for the following topics:
>
> Topic: About Worksheet and Workbook Design
> Topic: Navigating Through and Reading Worksheet Data
> Topic: Entering Data
> Topic: Saving a Workbook
> Topic: Closing a Workbook
> Topic: Creating a New Workbook
> Topic: Opening an Existing Workbook

> Before You Begin.  Before you begin this lesson, you should have Excel

> Topic: About Workbook and Worksheet Design
>
> Introduction.  Before you begin recording your data, you should carefully
> consider how your data should be organized. Think about the kind of data 
> you
> want to track. Can the data be divided into categories? Can one category 
> of
> data be further divided into sub-categories? Taking the time to organize
> your data will ensure that your data analysis is accurate and you can
> readily locate the information you need.
>
>
> About Workbook Design.  A workbook should be devoted to one category. For
> instance, suppose you want to track product, client contact, and sales
> information. In this scenario you should use three workbooks to track each
> category of information. Remember, a workbook can have many worksheets. 
> Use
> the worksheets to hold sub-categories of information. In a workbook that
> tracks products used in a spa, use one worksheet to track hair care
> products, a worksheet for manicure products, and a worksheet for body care
> products.
>
>
> About Worksheet Design.  The layout and formatting of data in a worksheet
> can vary widely. Generally, however, the data in a worksheet is laid out
> like data in a table. You should use text labels for the data to help the
> reader understand the purpose of the worksheet data.
>
> Usually, a descriptive text label for a row of data appears in one of the
> first four columns in the row. Likewise, a text label for a column of data
> appears in one of the first four rows of the column. However, text labels
> can be placed anywhere on the worksheet.
>
>
> About Regions.  Regions are defined once you begin to enter data into a
> worksheet. You learned that a single worksheet has 256 columns and 65,536
> rows. This allows you to enter a lot of data on a single worksheet. Often,

> a
> worksheet author will use blank rows and columns to visually divide
> worksheets that contain lots of data, similar to using several tables in 
> one
> word processing document.
>
> Excel refers to contiguous blocks of cells containing data surrounded by

> verbosity setting to Multiple JAWS will announce, "New Region," when you
