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 19, 2009
I’m sure you know this situation: Suddenly you remember that you needed to call Mr. X due to product Y. However you’re in the middle of another task, which must be done quickly. At the same time the phone rings nonstop to your attention.
Sure, you could create a new task in Outlook. But let’s face it, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life you don’t have the time to click through the task form.
We have good tip how you can make a fast entry in your Outlook tasks. Type your task in keywords directly in the task list without creating a new task form. With the Tab key you can go into the next field. Later, if you have enough time, you can still specify the task.
Also you can type directly the due date. Instead of selecting a date you can e.g. write “tomorrow” or “next week”. Then confirm with Enter. Outlook will now automatically select the correct date.

Just try it out.
O-Tip of the day: Never forget the upper case
June 18, 2009
Do you know the shortcut
+ 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.
