Compose and Send a Simple Message You need to send some important information to a client who is located in another part of the country. The client needs the information today. Sending it by regular mail is not an option. The client is out of the office, so you can t call either. By using Outlook you can quickly and efficiently send the information in a simple message. E-MAIL Electronic mail, or E-Mail, is an application that allows a user to create, send and receive electronic messages. You can send information and receive information from users within your network of computers or outside your network of computers via the internet. The Message Form When you create a new message using the New button or Ctrl+N, Outlook displays a message form that contains text boxes in which you can enter specific information. To Email address or user name of the person to whom you want to send the message. Cc E-Mail address or user name of anyone of anyone who you want to receive a copy of the message (carbon copy). Subject A brief description of the message Message Body The text of the message Default Mail Editor Microsoft Word is the default mail editor for Outlook. Therefore, when you create mail messages you will have access to a number of Word features, making it easier to create messages in Outlook. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 10

E-Mail Etiquette Net etiquette, or Network etiquette is a set of guidelines for ethical behaviour on the internet, including sending and receiving e-mail. You can become a responsible internet user by applying the simple guidelines to your own e-mail activity. Think twice before clicking the Send button. Once you send an e-mail, you might not be able to take it back. Realise that an e-mail message can be easily circulated (forward, print and distributed) Cautious with humour and sarcasm Statements that are funny person to person might lose their humour in writing and appear, instead, confusing or even vicious. Using CAPITAL LETTERS sensibly. Statements in Capitals can suggest you are shouting at the reader. It may also be used to highlight important points. Use the Address Book to Add Recipients Click the To button The Address book is a collection of address books or address lists that you can use to find and select names, email addresses and distribution lists to quickly address messages. Global Address List The Global Address List is a list of all user names and global distribution lists in a particular organisation that is created and maintained by the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator. You can only access the Global Address List if you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server email account. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 11

Include Your Signature You can modify existing signatures or create new ones, as well as set a default signature, by clicking the arrow under the Signature command 1. If you created signatures previously, you'll see them listed here. 2. To create new signatures, set a default signature, or modify existing signatures, click Signatures. Format a Message You need to send a message that contains important dates and times for some upcoming events. You want to make sure that the dates and times stand out in the message text. By formatting specific text in a message, you will emphasise that text, drawing the reader s attention to it. 1. Select the text that you want to emphasise. To select all the message text, press Ctrl+A 2. Apply the format On the Standard Toolbar, click the appropriate button. Choose Format and the appropriate formatting menu option. Save Message While composing a message, you might decide that you are not ready to send the message. You can save a message and send it at a later time by clicking on the File menu and selecting Save. The message is stored in the Drafts folder. When you re ready to finish the message, simply select from the drafts folder and continue. Checking Spelling and Grammar Whenever you re typing, there s always the possibility of making an error. For example you know the correct spelling of the word their, but you type it as their When you are trying to convey a professional image, misspelled words and incorrect grammar can make you look unprofessional. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 12

AutoCorrect The AutoCorrect feature detects common typing mistakes, including misspelled words, grammar problems, incorrect capitalisation and common typos. AutoCorrect brings them to your attention. By default, the AutoCorrect feature is on. E-Mails Attach a File You have some information in a separate file that you want to include in a message. Re-typing that information in the message will take some time. You can t copy and paste the information because it s in a different format. By attaching the file to your message you can include the additional information without wasting time. Where you'll find Attach File On the Email toolbar click The Insert File button (paperclip icon.) OR Insert Menu - File File Type and Size There are a few file type and size guidelines you should follow before attaching files or items to an Outlook item. Make sure the recipient of an attachment will be able to open and read the attachment. The recipient must have the application in which the attachment was created or a similar application. Be aware of attachment size as a large attachment will use a lot of space and might delay the opening of the item to which it is attached. An attachment in a message that is formatted as HTML or Plain Text displays in a text box below the Subject text box. An attachment in a message that is formatted as Rich Text is included in the body of the item. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 13

Respond to a message When you reply to a message, you have a few options. Use the Reply option to send a response to the sender of the message. Use the Reply All option to send a response to the sender and copies of the response to anyone who received the original message. Use the Forward option to forward a copy of the message to someone who did not receive the original message. The InfoBar The InfoBar displays information about what ahs occurred or what action you need to take. It is displayed below the active toolbar. Whoops! Need to recall a message? Suppose you've just clicked Send and you realize that a key detail in your message is wrong (for example, maybe you wrote "bored" instead of "board" when discussing the results of the last board meeting). If you're using Microsoft Exchange Server for your e-mail, you may be able to recall the message that you just sent. If you act before a recipient reads the message, recalling it will allow you to send a corrected version to that person and avoid possible embarrassment. Here's what you would do: You can recall or take back a sent message if the message meets the following criteria: It has not been opened by the recipient. It has not been moved from the Inbox The recipient is running Outlook and is logged on. To Recall a Message 1. Display the contents of the Sent Items folder. 2.

Open the message you want to print. 2. Choose File Print to display the Print dialogue box 3. Increase the number of copies you want to print in the Number of Copies spin box. 4. If necessary, modify the desired print options. 5. Click Print. 6. Close the message. Delete a Message You have been using Outlook for a while, so your Inbox contains a lot of old messages that you no longer need.

If necessary, verify the deletion of a message: Select the Deleted Items Folder. Recover Deleted Messages After you delete a message you can recover it from the deleted items folder.

Message delivery options Just like postal service mail, you can customize your electronic mail to alert recipients of a message s importance and sensitivity level. You can also set various delivery options or create a shortcut for delivering a mail message to multiple users. Voting and Tracking Options Mail messages are often used to gather information or to obtain feedback. Perhaps you need to gather votes on a company policy or obtain a head count on attendance. Outlook s voting and tracking options allow you to create voting buttons within a mail message that give the recipient the option of responding to a question by clicking the appropriate button. You can create your own voting buttons or use one of three standard Outlook voting options: Approve;Reject Yes;No Yes;No;Maybe 1. Open a new Message form. 2. On the new message form toolbar, click the Options button to open the Message Options dialog box. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 20

3. In the Voting And Tracking Options section, check the Use Voting Buttons check box. 4. Select the desired option from the drop-down list, or replace the default option in the text box with your custom voting options, separating each option with a semicolon. 5. Click Close. The buttons are not displayed until the message is sent, so you will not be able to view the buttons in the message you are sending. If you want to see what the buttons look like, you can open a copy of the message from your Sent Items folder after you send it. Modify Delivery Options Your manager has asked you to send out an email to members of your department asking for their immediate feedback on a time-sensitive question. Not only does she want the email to expire if the recipients don t open it before close of business today, she also wants all responses sent directly to her. Delivery Options Specify that replies be sent somewhere other than to the sender of the message. Save copies of messages in a location other than the default, the Sent Items folder, or not save them at all. Delay delivery of the message until a specified date or time. The message is stored in the Outbox until it is delivered. Have the message expire after a specified date or time. After the expiration date, if the message has not been www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 21

Creating Search folders Search Folders are virtual folders that contain views of all e-mail items matching specific search criteria. Search Folders display the results of previously defined search queries. The e-mail messages shown remain stored in one or more Outlook folders. In the Navigation Pane there are three default Search Folders For Follow Up, Large Mail, and Unread Mail. Any e-mail item with a flag appears in the For Follow Up Search Folder. E-mail items that are larger than 100 kilobytes (KB) appear in the Large Mail Search Folder. All unread e-mail items appear in the Unread Mail Search Folder. These three default Search Folders can be modified or deleted. When you create a Search Folder, you have a number of options to choose from, such as "Mail with attachments" or "Mail from specific people." You can also create your own custom Search Folders, defining specific search criteria that e-mail messages must meet to be displayed in the Search Folder. Each Search Folder is a saved search that is kept up-to-date, monitoring all of your folders for any item that matches the search criteria of the Search Folder. Important When you delete a Search Folder, the e-mail messages shown in the Search Folder are not deleted, because those items are never saved, only viewed, in a Search Folder. However, if you open or select one or more e-mail messages shown in a Search Folder and delete the e-mail messages, the messages will be deleted from the Outlook folder where they are stored. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 22

Searchable Terms By default, Outlook searches for partial names, first or last names, email addresses, display as names and company names. Creating a Distribution List A distribution list is a collection of contacts. It provides an easy way to send e-mail messages to a group of people. For example, if you frequently send messages to the marketing team, you can create a distribution list called "Marketing Team" that contains the e-mail addresses of everyone on that team. Distribution lists are stored by default in your Contacts folder. If you use a Microsoft Exchange account, your Global Address List can contain global distribution lists, which are available to everyone who uses that network. The Personal Distribution List that you create in your Contacts folder are available only to you, but you can share them by sending them to others. www.microsofttraining.net Tel: 0845 519 4797 Page 28
