Microsoft Outlook: Must-Know Tips There are probably many shortcuts that you don’t know exist that will make your life easier. Simona Millham, SPOTO trainer and Microsoft Office guru, shares some Outlook tips. Simona’s Microsoft Outlook 2019 Training will help you learn the latest version of Outlook! Microsoft Outlook Tech Tips Did You Know that Outlook can save a reply to a message in the same folder, instead of Sent Items? This option can be found in File, Options, Mail, and then under Options. If you don’t view your email as Conversations, you might find it useful if you right-click on an e-mail to locate related messages in the conversation. The mini translator might be useful if you receive emails in another language. It can be turned on by pressing the Translate button in the Message tab. The Filter button on your Home tab is not often used. It’s worth a try! Outlook 2013 and 2016 allow you to reply or forward messages in the same window. This is a good option.

Copy the email name with the accent (use Insert, Symbol to insert the accented character) and type it in. Click File, Options. Mail, Editor Options. Proofing, AutoCorrect Options.
