Email has become one of the most-used applications of our world. Here are a few tips to help you along.
Keep Them Separated
When you enter a list of email addresses in a message, you can separate the names with either a comma or a semicolon.
Deleting and Restoring Messages
Deleted messages (and other items) are moved to the Deleted Items folder and are not really gone until you Right-Click on Deleted Items and choose "Empty Deleted Items" Folder. In fact, once you empty your Deleted Items they are saved in a "hidden" Deleted Items folder on the server for 14 days. To restore something from the system Deleted Items folder to your Deleted Items folder:
- Select your Deleted Items folder in your Folder List
- Select Tools, Recover Deleted Items
- Select the items you want to recover
- Then click the Recover Selected Items icon on the toolbar
Printing a Phone List from Contacts
Need a printed phone list of all your contacts? Open the Contacts folder, select View, Current View, Phone List.
If there are columns you don't want to print, such as File As, you can remove them (they won't all fit across a standard page anyway). To do this, right-click an unwanted column's heading and select Remove This Column. For a quick preview of your phone list, select File, Print Preview. If it's what you want, click Print.
Note: To put a column back, select View, Current View, Customize Current View; click the Fields button; select the field you want to add on the left; click Add; use the Move Up button to position it, then click OK twice.
Turn Off Reading Layout View (Outlook 2003 only)
Prevent reading layout view (the split page view) from opening automatically when you receive a Word document in e-mail:
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the General tab, and then clear the Allow starting in Reading Layout check box.
