GETTING STARTED

Getting Started
Welcome to IBM Lotus Notes 7! Lotus Notes is powerful, multifaceted software for Windows(R) and Macintosh computers that gives you instant access to all the information that is important to you. You can use Notes to send and receive Internet mail, schedule appointments, browse the Web, contribute to Internet newsgroups, and take advantage of the Welcome Page for tracking all your important daily information.

The Welcome Page is a great place to start. This page gives you immediate access to your mail, bookmarks, calendar, and more.

To get Help while you are exploring Notes, press F1 (Macintosh users, Command - Shift - ?) or choose Help - Help Topics from the menu.

With Notes, you can connect to IBM Lotus Domino(TM) 7 servers as well as Internet servers, such as your Internet Service Provider (ISP), to send and receive Internet mail. When you want to know someone's e-mail address, Notes helps you search the Internet for a person's listing. You can post messages to Internet newsgroups, view HTML from any Web server, and use special certificates for security. And you can do all these things from within one consistent interface. You simply do your work, and Notes handles the rest.
