Notes
The Notes function gives your contacts more information about your current availability. For
example, if you are busy now but will be free in an hour, you can type "Free in one hour" in your
note to let your contacts know. Also, your contact(s) may also have a note (e.g., displaying why
they may or may not be free). Using and viewing Notes will help you more effectively
communicate with others so that your productivity can be maximized.
Contact List
The Contact List displays all the contacts that you have. It also displays any groups that you have
created (e.g., Project Team). If you have groups, you can choose to expand or collapse them in
the Contact List.
Search Box
The Search box in Communicator 2007 can be used to find and add contacts from the Active
Directory to your Contact List. Once a name has been typed and you have pressed [Enter], a
Search Results pane will appear under the Search box with the matching results.
Instant Messaging Tips
Instant Messaging (IM) is a form of a communication that, as with every other form, has certain
"unwritten" rules. Look at them as "tips" for effectiveness and efficiency. For example, it would
be a good idea not to send an instant message that is three paragraphs long. Other forms of
communication would probably be more effective if that much information is being discussed
(e.g., email). This document will share some tips in utilizing IM so that it can become a powerful
and useful communication tool.
Using IM
Instant messaging is simply one of the many forms of telecommunication available (e.g.,
telephone). IM can be used to ask quick questions and to get quick answers, but it is not
uncommon to have entire conversations as well. IM can be used in many different contexts but
some things should be kept in mind before you begin using it.
