In my emails, I often need to refer to documentation and products on the Internet for which I also supply the URL within the message.
For readability, I turn these words into clickable hyperlinks.
Unfortunately, this is quite a bit of work and the documentation and product links are the same ones I use over and over.
Would it be possible to automatically turn these key words into hyperlinks pointing to the correct URL?
Have you discovered the Mini Translator already?
It is a quick way to translate a word or a text selection and can even be used in the Reading Pane without the need to open the Research Pane or the message itself.
I received an email which had some text highlighted in yellow (like you can do with a magic marker on paper).
How can I do the same in Outlook?
I am tidying up large attachments in Outlook to reduce the size of the PST file.
In some e-mails the attachment is in the message body. These particular attachments cannot be cut, deleted or otherwise removed, since these controls are greyed out.
How can I remove these attachments?
I really like the ability to instantly reply with a message template via Quick Steps.
This works for most of my replies but for one type of reply I need to have rich text formatting support with additional font settings, an image and also a table.
I’ve tried copy/pasting the content from the source document and even put in HTML codes within the Text area of the Quick Step but it seems that this field is Plain Text only.
Is there any way to make this work with a Quick Step or another quick alternative?
When I use the Send To-> Mail Recipient feature in Explorer to send a file as an attachment, the email is in Plain Text and contains a warning text instead of my signature.
Is there any way to make it use the HTML format and include my signature by default?
I would like to create a rule that will allow me to filter all of the meeting receipts where people have typed in a message to me.
This is to prevent me from reviewing the meeting receipts that don't have any verbiage contained in the body.
I see where I can look for specific words, but don't know how to examine for the presence of text.
How can I filter out these empty responses?
I've received a message with the following warning in the Information Bar;
"To help protect your security, the Follow Up flag text has been hidden. Follow Up.
Click here to see hidden text."
I can unblock it per message by clicking on the Information Bar but how can I stop Outlook from blocking it?
Upon converting a message from HTML to Plain Text or when trying to past HTML content in a Plain Text message, I used to get a Compatibility Checker dialog informing me which changes would be made to the text such as that pictures and formatting will be lost.
There was also a "Don't show this dialog box again" option which somehow (some time) got selected and now I don't get this dialog anymore.
Is there any way to get this dialog back?
I have updated my New and Reply signatures since my company changed names.
Everything works fine when emails are HTML format, but when I Reply or Forward a Plain Text email, my OLD SIGNATURE is applied. I don't even see the old signature in the Signature Options!
Where can I access this phantom signature and update it?
