Are there instructions on how Outlook 2003 Rules work and behave?

[Treemaster]

I am looking for how Outlook 2003 rules behave when I place a word or phase
in the subject of body line. For example, if I create a rule that forwards
incoming mail to a folder that looks for the word "Test" in the subject line,
will Outlook 2003 search for the word in the beginning of the subject, the
entire subject, or in a relative location. Also, will Outlook 2003 find the
word if the subject is " I Tested the software" ?

In addition, can I use wild cards in phrases like in the body find "
Hi?There" meaning that "Hi" and "There" must be in the body however there can
be other characters between the words.

I would just like to read about the behavior of the Outlook 2003 search
engine when I place data in the subject and body lines.

I think the above web pages will help you figure out an appropriate
method for using rules to manage your mail.

Thank you for pointing in the the right direction. These web pages are enough
to get started with. I must say though I looked all through Microsoft and was
unable to find a basic instruction with examples of "Tricks with Rules"
Working examples of how to use the feature to it fullest.
