Message in Outlook 2007
Using templates to facilitate more versatile E-mail Distribution
If you want to construct a more complicated distribution list, with some recipients on the To field,
some recipients on the Cc field, and yet more recipients on the Bcc field, you have to use a
message template where you explicitly assign recipients to each field.
Reply and forward options
For replies and forwarded messages, you can choose to attach the original text, to include and indent the
text, or to add a prefix to each line of the original message or reply without including the original text.
Set default fonts for E-mails
Outlook enables you to specify default fonts to use for different situations when dealing with e-mail.
Additionally you can individually configure default font settings for composing new e-mail and replying and
forwarding.
How to create a Signature
If you frequently sign your messages using not only your name, but also additional information such as your
job title and contact information, you'll appreciate Outlook's Signature feature. When enabled, it appends
text of your choice to the end of every message that create and/or reply to.
How to enter a hyperlink containing a space into an E-mail
When you enter text into an e-mail, Outlook recognizes certain values, such as Web and UNC addresses (such
as a network resource), and automatically makes them hyperlinks. However, after you enter a space, Outlook
stops creating the hyperlink because it has no way of knowing whether you've finished the address and are
now typing another word or whether the address contains spaces.
Quick Preview of Emails
Sometimes you just need to have a quick preview of an e-mail before deciding whether to open it. Outlook
provides a feature called AutoPreview that shows the first few lines of your e-mails.
How to control how the Reading pane marks E-mails as read
When you open an e-mail, it automatically is marked as read. However, if you are using the Reading
Pane to view messages instead of opening them, you have a number of possible options for marking
e-mails as being read.
Message settings
Outlook message window does not show all message fields. There many fields hidden behind the Options
button, where you can set message priority, delivery notifications, etc.
How to change the Stationery in Outlook
If you like visually appealing message templates called stationaries, you may want to set up Outlook to
