Computer and Web Articles

You use it every day, so why not learn a few shortcuts that’ll be sure to save you time when using Outlook? Here are some Outlook shortcuts I picked up from various articles on the web this week:

• Ctrl + Q — It doesn’t matter what folder you’re in — Inbox or otherwise — hitting this key combination will mark your highlighted message as either read or unread.
• Ctrl + Shift + C — The quick and easy way to add a new contact to your address book.
• Ctrl + F — A very much underutilized shortcut, Ctrl +F will forward whatever message you have highlighted.
• Ctrl + Shift + B — The mouseless way to display your Address Book.
• Ctrl + Enter — Be veeeeeery careful with this one!! Some people love it, others hate it so much they disable it completely. I’ll let you choose how you feel about; this is the shortcut that instantly sends out the message you’re typing. (So if you’ve ever been writing an e-mail and it suddenly seemed to “send itself,” now you know what may have happened …)
• Ctrl + N — If you take away anything at all today, try to remember this fundamental shortcut, which simply opens up a fresh new e-mail for you.
