Tips & Tricks

Microsoft Office 2007 E-mail

Manage Your Time and Information

Instant Search – With new and powerful integrated Instant Search, you can quickly locate the information you need, whether it is in your e-mail, calendar, contacts, or tasks. Enter a keyword, and Instant Search quickly searches your Office Outlook 2007 data, highlighting the locations where that search term appears. Instant Search even searches for keywords within e-mail attachments. You also have the flexibility to create queries with different criteria, such as date, sender, color categories, and mail importance, and Instant Search finds and delivers the results.

Attachment Previewer – With the new Attachment Previewer, you can view your attachments with one click directly from within the Reading pane. Click Preview File in the Preview pane.

Unified Messaging – By integrating Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and the Office Outlook 2007 messaging and collaboration client, you have the added advantage of being able to receive voice mails and faxes in your inbox. You don’t have to waste time calling your phone to check your messages or going to the fax machine to get your faxes.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) – Office Outlook 2007 has native aggregation support for RSS feeds, so you can easily subscribe to and stay up-to-date with the latest news sites and blogs. You can manage your RSS feeds in Office Outlook 2007 just like other e-mail, so you can flag feeds for follow-up, assign them color categories, or automate any process using the rules engine.

Command Tabs – Opening an e-mail message or other Outlook item reveals the new Ribbon user interface and selection of Outlook-specific command tabs. Presented graphically, command tabs display the commands that are most relevant for each of the task areas in the application. You can double-click a command tab to hide or reveal the Ribbon as needed. Of course, the traditional dialog box interfaces are still available for those who want a greater degree of control over the result of the operation.
