In Windows, how can I see what version of Microsoft Outlook I have?
To find out what version of Outlook you have, open Outlook,
and from the Help menu at the top of the window, select
About Microsoft Outlook. In the upper right corner of the
window that appears, you should see the version number in parentheses.
It will look similar to "Microsoft Outlook XX (X.XX.XXXX)" (where the
"X"s are numbers).
If it says something like "SP-1" after the parentheses, this means that your version of Outlook includes a service pack; for example, "SP-1" indicates Service Pack 1.
