Outlook Treats
Microsoft Outlook has a number of places to store contact information. In
many organizations the standard setup includes a global address book under the
care of MIS/IT, a personal address book and a folder called Contacts.
Contact objects can hold more than just addresses and can be tightly
integrated with other Outlook objects like Meeting Requests and Tasks. Here’s
another little treat you get in the Contacts folder.
Bring up a contact that has a street address. In the toolbar at the top of
the contact, you’ll see an icon that looks like this:

Just click on the icon and you’ll be taken to the Expedia web site and
shown a map of the address. If you’re an Expedia member, you can ask for
driving directions from your office while you’re there!
