Helpful Tips and New Features

·         The right mouse button is your friend.  You will get a menu of useful actions wherever you click your right mouse button on an Outlook screen.
·         Use Drag and Drop.  Any email message, appointment, task, etc. can be dragged to another place to file it or change it into another type of item.
·         Be observant.  Outlook contains many features, icons, buttons, etc. that you may not notice unless you really pay attention.
·         The Help menu items in Outlook are well written and easy to search.  Get in the habit of using the Help menu when you have questions.
