As
I’m sure you realize by now, Outlook has lots and lots of ways to do
most tasks. Another way to do things quickly is to use shortcut keys.
That’s when you press a button (or more than one button!) to make
Outlook do something. For example, you can press your F9 key to make
Outlook send and receive. Below is a chart listing some of the common
shortcut keys. Most of these items talk about stuff we haven’t learned
how to do yet, so don’t panic; this is just something to keep in mind.
You don’t even have to use shortcut keys if you don’t want; it’s
entirely up to you. To become familiar with shortcut keys, you may wish
to have them included with the ScreenTips that pop when your mouse moves
over items in the Outlook program window. To add shortcut keys to your
ScreenTips, choose Customize on the Tools menu. In the Other section on
the Options tab, check Show shortcut keys in Screen Tips.
Here’s how to use this chart: First, find the action you want to do.
(When the word “item” is used, it means an item like a calendar
appointment or a task.) Then look at the keys column. The first key is
one you hold while you press the second key once. Ready? Let’s go!
