Outlook Screen Overview

Quick reference

• 00:05 Hello, my name is Andy Lanning and
• 00:07 I will be taking you through the Outlook 2016 course.
• 00:10 Whether you're new to Outlook or if you've used it before, it makes good sense to
• 00:14 first take a preview of the screen to see any changes they've made.
• 00:17 So here we have our ribbons, our File, Home, Send/Receive, Folder,
• 00:21 View and this right here is not a ribbon this is actually a search box.
• 00:25 So you can just type in there, whatever you need to search for and
• 00:28 it will bring up help for you.
• 00:29 Right above our ribbons, is our quick access tool bar.
• 00:32 We'll be having a short video on that in the future to customize that.
• 00:36 Way over on the right hand side this is actually the ribbon hide button.
• 00:41 You can just show the tabs or you can show the tabs and all the buttons,
• 00:45 it's your personal preference.
• 00:47 If you have a smaller screen area you're using you might wanna just show the tabs.
• 00:52 And of course we have our Minimize button, our Maximize button, and
• 00:55 look what they've done to the Close button.
• 00:57 They made it turn bright red and I love that feature, very good.
• 01:01 Okay, over on the left hand side, this is our navigation pane and
• 01:04 right below the navigation pane these little items used to be stacked but
• 01:07 now they're in a row.
• 01:08 So there's our mail, here's our calendar.
• 01:10 And look at that, it kind of pops open.
• 01:11 It's called a peek pane.
• 01:13 You kinda peek into your calendar and the people peek pane and
• 01:18 then the task peek pane.
• 01:20 I'm not clicking on this at all folks it just shows up
• 01:22 when you float your mouse there, and I like it a lot, very useful actually.
• 01:27 We do have our email list right here, and
• 01:29 in our email list you can read all your emails, or just focus on the unread ones.
• 01:34 And you also have your sorting features right there.
• 01:37 You can change a screen which we will do.
• 01:39 We'll customize our screen in a future video.
• 01:42 And right over here in the email itself we have a Reply, Reply All, and
• 01:45 Forward right there in the email.
• 01:47 Now watch what happens when I hit Reply.
• 01:49 Naturally designs a reply right here on the same screen.
• 01:52 And if you change your mind and you wanna get rid of it,
• 01:55 you just hit the Discard button gets rid of it.
• 01:58 Or maybe you do want a separate screen.
• 02:00 You can hit reply and just hit the Pop Out, and it'll actually bring it out
• 02:03 to a separate screen, and then you could close that if you wanted.
• 02:07 So just so you know you have those options.
• 02:09 I'm gonna go ahead and close that.
• 02:11 All right and then over here on the bottom, we have our zoom control and
• 02:15 we have our Reading and our Normal.
• 02:17 Right now I'm set to Normal, but when I click Reading Pane, my
• 02:20 navigation pane's gonna collapse to give me a larger reading surface for the email.
• 02:24 And then, of course, I can just click right back to normal, and
• 02:27 it brings it right back.
• 02:28 In the bottom left hand corner,
• 02:30 it always shows you a current count of whatever you're on.
• 02:32 If I'm on my inbox, it's counting my inbox.
• 02:35 If I was on my people pane it would be counting how many contacts are in there.
• 02:38 So just at a glance,
• 02:40 you can see how much of emails are in whatever folder you're looking at.
• 02:44 All right, well, that's a screen overview.
• 02:47 This is gonna be a great course.
• 02:49 I'm gonna teach you a lot of tricks about using Outlook,
• 02:52 a lot of hidden features in there.
• 02:53 So stay with me, go with me through this course.
• 02:55 Take the time to listen to the videos.
• 02:57 It is amazing what they have done with this program.
