Who doesn’t like to copy and paste to get something done quicker? In Outlook, you can even paste something faster than you may think.
This is another one of my favorite “hidden features” in Outlook which allows you to send copied text or files without first creating a new message.
The trick is really simple and it will sure raise some eyebrows from people not familiar with it and who doesn’t like to do that every now and then? ;-)
I’d like to organize my emails into separate folders automatically but only after I’ve read them.
How do I create such a message rule?
I’m trying to print my Calendar but also want to include the (short) notes that are written in the message section of the Appointments and Meetings itself.
When printing the Calendar, there is a Notes field but it remains blank.
How can I print my Calendar with the notes that I’ve written for the Appointments and Meetings?
I’m using various Internet connection methods for my laptop depending on where I am. For instance I use:
On some connections I get a metered network warning and Outlook doesn’t connect automatically to save costs. As I have Outlook running in the background, I often don’t even notice and miss my notifications.
How can I force Outlook to always connect regardless of the connection type?
I'm using Office 365 but I seem unable to share and sync my mail, calendar and contact items between multiple computers even though I'm allowed to install it on up to 5 devices.
I was told that Office 365 was "Cloud Based" and I’m signed in with my Microsoft Account to Office, so shouldn't I be able to do this?
When sharing a mailbox, some of the users accessing this mailbox do not see all messages while others do.
Some other folders even show that there are unread items in them, even though everything has been marked as read or when the folder is empty.
How can I make these "hidden" messages available to everyone?
I have the Message Preview enabled in Outlook and I find the small greyed out text a bit hard to read.
Is there any way to change the font?
The folders of Outlook (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc...) are in English but I'm using a Dutch version of Outlook. I cannot rename these folders like I can with my other folders (the Rename option is grayed out).
How can I match the name of the folders to the language of Outlook?
I've created my own Stationery with some text and a background which I would like to use for my messages. However, I don’t see any options in the Stationery dialog to add my own Stationery.
How can I add it to Outlook so I can select it?
Opening the File Browser dialog to attach a file has now become a 2-click process in Outlook 2016 because of the Recent Items list and the option to also attach files from Web Locations like OneDrive.
Also, on occasion I used the “Insert as Text” option to insert boilerplate text from saved files instead of attaching the file itself. It seems that this option in gone now too.
Is there any way to get back the “Attach File” button that directly opened the File Browser and had the “Insert as Text” option?
