I'm looking for a way to add more information to a contact but don't want to put everything into the Notes field. The reason for this is that I then can no longer sort by it or use it into a mail merge which I would like as well.
Is there any way to do this?
Is it possible to suspend the reception of emails while staying on-line?
Working off-line isn't an option for me as I still need access to non-cached on-line data like Public Folders and shared folders.
I have sent an e-mail with Bcc only. When I print out the e-mail to keep for reference it does not print out the addresses from the Bcc list.
Is there a why to get the Bcc line to print as well?
I receive quite a lot of meeting invitations in my line of work but luckily I don’t have to attend all of them.
However, Outlook automatically accepts these meeting requests as “Tentative” and adds them to my calendar. This makes my Calendar look unnecessarily busy and also often confuses others who check my schedule.
Can I somehow prevent meetings from automatically being added as Tentative to my Calendar?
Is there a way to create a Task within a Calendar Appointment or Meeting item?
For instance; I'd like to create a finance meeting in my Calendar folder but I need to track and complete 4 individual tasks that will prepare me for the meeting.
I'm trying to use the tracking feature to ensure my mail is actually being delivered. In the Message Options, I selected the option "Request a delivery receipt for this message". In the on-line help for Outlook it says that this tracking information should be shown when opening the sent item. However, I see no such information within my sent item.
I've then tried it with a "Read receipt" and although I do get a message back, I still don't see any tracking information within the sent item.
How can I see if my message was read or delivered successfully within the sent item?
When I look at the message list in Outlook 2013, I’ve got the feeling that things aren’t as “sharp” as they should be.
It looks like the name of the sender and subject of the message isn’t really black. The characters in the emails itself look a little bit darker and clearer to me.
Is this just me needing glasses or there another option to make the characters sharper in the message list?
I can do quite a bit with my keyboard when I’m processing my mail, but when I do anything with the Calendar, I tend to use the mouse for most of the things.
Are there some handy shortcuts for navigating the Calendar as well?
At work, our Calendars are shared by default so that we can always lookup where someone is and to book meetings more conveniently. I’m OK with this as it also benefits me.
However, I also add my private appointments to my calendar which syncs with my smartphone and tablet so that I have only 1 calendar to manage and always see my full schedule. As I don’t want everyone in my office to see and read my private appointments, I mark them as Private which works great.
As I’m sometimes somewhat forgetful, is there also a way to have my appointments marked as Private by default to prevent embarrassing mistakes?
