Evaluation
Your Outlook Buddy is a flexible assistant, who tries to adapt himself to the best of his ability to meet your needs. He appears to have understood that to be successful one has to be flexible.
As a result you can customize the shortcut bar to suit your needs.
This function is particularly useful if you begin to
develop an unwieldy, large folder structure.
Outlook Shortcut Bar
The Outlook bar contains a number of predefined shortcuts to your folders.
For example: Inbox, Calendar, Contacts and so on.
If you have not activated your Outlook bar, you can
do so via the View menu alternative Outlook Bar.
If you have created many subfolders you can simply create
your own groups with shortcuts in the Outlook bar. (We showed how to create
a folder in lesson 3.)
We will group a number of folders connected to a project
1. Put the cursor on your Outlook bar and right click with the mouse. Chose Add New Group.
2. Give the group a suitable name.
3. Click on your new group to come to the Outlook bar. As we can see it is empty. You need to fill it with shortcuts.
4. Activate your folder list, if you have not already done so. (We showed this in the previous lesson.)
5. Place the cursor on the folder you want to put in the new Outlook Bar
group. Right click with the mouse, and chose Add to Outlook Bar.
Repeat this action for every folder that you want to create a shortcut
to in your Outlook Bar.
