Have you ever been asked to send an e-mail message out on behalf of someone else?
Maybe a boss, colleague or friend who just aren’t in the right place, don’t have the time or access to the information and you do.
So they ask and you’d like to (or in the case of your boss, have to) help out.
The problem is that when the message goes out since you… Continue reading
Many of us tend to use MS Outlook’s calendar feature at work. Often, when we choose to display a “week” what we really want to see is a work week.
By default the program considers a work week to be Monday through Friday.
But… what if that isn’t your work week? Maybe you need Saturday added and Tuesday removed from your work week calendar… Continue reading
Do you use the Calendar portion of MS Outlook?
Are you one of those people who feel the need for everything to look “just so”?
I know that I am… if there’s a color, font or whatever type of setting I can manage then I do. I just like things to be pleasing to my eyes. After all, with the amount of time I… Continue reading
Here’s the situation:
An e-mail message arrives from someone with whom I have an on-going dialogue… problem is that the conversation has been delayed enough that I no longer remember what was said last or what questions that person is actually answering.
Someone is currently wondering why I don’t just scroll down past their reply to view the message I last sent.… Continue reading
How annoying do you find it that MS Outlook automatically marks any message displayed in the Preview / Reading Pane as read.
Just because I open the Inbox and a new message is selected doesn’t mean that I’ve actually read it. Often I’ll get the program started and then move off to something else… sometimes the message selected has been looked at and sometimes not but, either… Continue reading
Over the years, I’ve run into a couple of different keyboard shortcuts for changing font sizes and I thought it might be of interest to my readers who love a good keyboard shortcut.
To be exact, I have two different sets of key combinations for increasing and decreasing font size in various MS Office programs. (For the record, I was able to make this trick work in… Continue reading
Have an e-mail message that you need to resend?
Maybe you sent something to one person and after the fact decided that it should also go to someone else… or maybe you sent something to someone who “lost” it and need to get the information to them once again.
Whatever drives the need to resend a message the question becomes how do you accomplish… Continue reading
Many of us rely on the spellcheck feature in MS Word and PowerPoint, so why not in Outlook?
Or, maybe you do, but you’re doing so by activating the feature manually before sending out each message.
Either way (manual operation or none at all), why not set Outlook to behave like your other programs and have it check your messages automatically?… Continue reading
Yep – that’s right – you can send text messages to phone using an Outlook e-mail.
Now, I can already hear you thinking … but I wouldn’t even begin to know how to address the message and my computer isn’t connected to the phone line.
No problem because addressing the message is a breeze and you aren’t actually phoning them so that connection won’t… Continue reading
You know that person who e-mails everything so efficiently using distribution lists?
And… what are you doing?
Choosing each person individually for each message you send?
Maybe you’re searching out a previously sent message that went to the right group of people, creating a forward message, clearing out the old content of the message and then composing the new e-mail?… Continue reading
