How can
I select 3 days not next to each other in OutLook Calendar?
If you click on the first day in the month
calendar to the right, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on the other 2 or 3 days.
Now you can see all 3 days at the same time on your screen. You can also place your
pointer on a date on the calendar, press and hold, then drag across 3 days.
How can
I pull my appointments from Outlook into Word, so I can have better control over the
calendar print out?
Download the following file.
olcalndr.exe
The next time you double click your
calendar or click the button to set an appointment, and the appointment form pops up try
this.
In the Start time date field type: tomorrow or next Monday.
Use words instead of typing out a date. Who needs to look at a calendar. This feature
works every where - try it in your task list when you are setting up a task. Like start
date: type: in two weeks and the end date: type: in three weeks. So
we start this new task in two week to end one week later.
When you would like to move forward or back
three months, try this:
Place your mouse pointer on the title bar
at the top of an individual month, and press the left mouse button. You should get a small
menu that list 6 months. Three before the current month and three after the current month.
Now you can move forward or back with a click of the mouse.
Right click your time bar that runs down
the left side of your calendar (you know where you see 8 AM 9 AM etc.
Now you can select a break down of: 5
minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes
You will also notice that on this menu that
you see when you right click that you can change your time zone. But the big key here is
that you can add a time zone to your bar. So if you are dealing with someone on the East
coast you can add their time zone next to yours. This way there is no mix up when you are
setting up times to call each other.
The next time you are working with
contacts, right click the gray line running between your contacts (vertically) and select
Best Fit from the shortcut menu.
You can also press and hold that little
gray line and drag it to the left or right to give you less space or more.
If we select Phone List
from the View: Current View menu, we can click on the gray title bar with the name of each
column. This will give us ascending or descending. But what about Card view, try this: In Address
Card view - right click the gray vertical line and select Sort then you can sort
your address cards also. (Okay you can use the menu - but I love my mouse) You can try the
Filter selection also.
Need to break your contacts down into smaller groups. Like East Region, North Region,
West Region etc.
You can filter the or sort them of course, but how about having a completely different
set of contacts for each region.
Under the View menu select Folder List (if it is not turned on) this gives you a Explorer
like view bar down the left side of Outlook. Then right click Contacts in this view and
select New Folder. Name this Contact folder East Region, and click OK. Now you have a
second folder to keep your contacts in. This is a nice way to break down your contacts in
to groups when your contact list gets very large.
A quick way to send E-mail to a contact is to drag the contact's name from
the Contacts list onto the Inbox icon in the Outlook bar. Outlook will open
a new mail message form with the To field already containing the contact's
E-mail address. You can use this technique to send a message to multiple
recipients as well. Just select the desired contact names--you can select
multiple non-adjacent names by holding down the [Ctrl] key as you click on
the names--and drag the selection onto the Inbox icon.
If you'd like to send e-mail to multiple recipients and don't want
any of them to know who else is getting the message, try this: Send
the message to yourself and then use BCC for all the recipients. This
will get the mail to everyone, but nobody will be able to see who
else was on the list. Okay you can do it in any mail package.
