Message in Outlook 2013
Five tricks to customize your mailbox view
These five simple customizations of Microsoft Office Outlook mailbox view will save you a lot of time and
improve the overall productivity.
How to open replies and forwards in a new window
By default, if Reading pane is opened, Outlook opens replies and forwards in the same window, but you
can fix this behavior and open them in a new window.
Adding comments to reply or forward
When you answer questions or comment some points of the received message, it helps to include an indicator
so that the person reading your message will know exactly what topic you're responding to.
How to add and use voting button in Outlook
Voting Buttons in Outlook is a useful feature, which can help to collect your colleagues' or friends'
decisions with email messages easily. This article is arranged to guide you add and use voting buttons in
Microsoft Outlook with ease.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
