Tip of the day: How to recall your message in Outlook

June 29, 2009


Do you know the recall feature in Outlook which recalls sent e-mails? But before you want to vent your anger about a colleague by e-mail, because you can call the message back, I have you to slow down in advance. This feature admittedly sounds very attractive. But however there is a small catch. The feature works only under the following conditions:

1) The recipient has not yet read your message
2) You are working on an Exchange server
3) You sent the e-mail internally.

If these conditions are met, you can recall your e-mail at any time and replaced it by another. This is just useful if you forgot to insert an attachment.

For recalling a message try this:

O-Tip of the day: Do you know Quick Parts?

June 26, 2009


Just in time for the weekend, we’d like to provide you with a good tip which saves much time in writing your e-mails.

Are you familiar with the Quick Part in Outlook 2007? These are very useful if you have frequent requests with identical e-mails to answer. As an example, people from HR department often write a standard e-mail to each candidate which confirmed the receipt of the application. Rewriting the text every time is much too cumbersome. Similarly, the old copy-and-paste method can’t deal with the Quick Parts.

In previous Outlook versions this function was called auto correction. It worked just like Quick Parts. But how do I create a Quick Part? That’s very simple. We show you step by step. Let’s go!

June 18, 2009


Do you know the shortcut cherry_keyboard_105_keys + F3 in Word? Well you won’t be surprised if I tell you that you can use a lot of shortcuts from Word in Outlook.

It often happens to me, that I don’t mind the upper case when I have to reply quickly an e-mail. With the shortcut above you can proofread your letters easily. The cursor must be in or at the end of the word. Now press the shortcut and you can select the desired spelling.

I give you an example: Just write the word outlook. By pressing Shift + F3 you will get Outlook. And with another press on the keys you get the upper case word OUTLOOK.

Just check it out. Even if you are good in typing it is not always easy to mind the upper case. But now you have a good and quick method for proofreading your e-mails.

The smiling world of Emoticons

June 15, 2009


Did you know that today’s emoticons had recently its 30th Birthday celebrations? To be exact, it was on 12th April 1979 when a certain Kevin McKenzie made the proposal to extend the boring letters with symbols which express the emotions of the writers. As you may imagine, this proposal was enthusiastically received.

Emoticons are small icons, preferably used in e-mails or chats. They serve both to express your own emotions as well as to save on paperwork. Most emoticons are rotated faces by 90°, inspired of Smilies.

Just a tip: If you can’t see the face in the following table it sometimes helps to turn the monitor to the side. ;-)

June 10, 2009


Every day you’re clicking through your Outlook inbox. Sure, there are many shortcuts which relieves your mouse but who knows them all inside out? However, we found a small trick that takes you quickly and easily through your e-mail messages without scrolling via mouse.

By using the space bar, you can scroll pages on pages of your e-mails in the reading pane. Are you at the end of a message, Outlook jumps automatically to the beginning of the next e-mail in your inbox. In this way you can read the whole inbox without using your mouse. This trick works only in the reading pane. If you open your e-mail, it won’t work.

It doesn’t work anyway? Then you haven’t activated the right setting. Go in Outlook to Tools – Options – Other – Reading pane. Highlight Single key reading using space bar.
