Karen Fredricks Completes MICROSOFT OUTLOOK 2007 ALL IN ONE FOR DUMMIES

Boca Raton - CRM consultant and trainer, Karen Fredricks, was selected by Wiley Publishing to write Microsoft Outlook 2007 All In One For Dummies, a $29.99 paperback scheduled for publication in March, 2007.

John Wiley Publishing chose Karen Fredricks to write the book following the success of her four previous ACT! For Dummies titles, all of which are available at all the major book retailers. Fredricks is also the editor of a nationally published contact management newsletter.

Fredricks specializes in contact management database software. These programs are designed to combine calendar, contact and communications functionality with sales tools and reporting capabilities. Fredricks said she didn’t have to change her style much to explain the new version of Outlook that will be included with most versions of the Microsoft Office software suite.
"The For Dummies books have been so successful because of the foolproof formula developed by Wiley," said Fredricks. "This approach is so similar to my own instructional style that writing this book was both a rewarding and fun project. After specializing in contact management software for so many years, it’s great to offer readers a look at alternative products."
According to Fredricks, “So many businesses use Outlook. The All-in-One book is comprised of nine minibooks spanning more than 800 pages; it will be an indispensable guide for both new and power Outlook users.”

Fredricks has over 20 years of computer consulting and training experience in South Florida, during which time she has acquired in-depth expertise in the operational requirements of a broad spectrum of businesses. Her company, Tech Benders, provides a variety of services to businesses of all types and sizes, including needs analyses to determine hardware and software requirements, installation of selected software packages, troubleshooting, software customization, and training. Tech Benders shows businesses how to operate more efficiently, and therefore, more profitably, with the use of contact management software.

Fredricks is an ACT! Certified Consultant and Trainer, QuickBooks Pro Certified Advisor, and a Microsoft Office User Specialist. She is the author of four ACT! for Dummies books and Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager for Dummies.
