We spend a lot of time in our inboxes. So why not make some of those everyday tasks a little faster?
Microsoft Outlook includes keyboard shortcuts that can help you navigate your inbox, respond to messages, create new emails, and manage your work more efficiently. Microsoft notes that keyboard shortcuts can help users work more efficiently and provide an alternative to using a mouse.
Here are five useful Microsoft Outlook shortcuts to try:
Need to send a quick email? Ctrl + N creates a new message in new Outlook. It can also be used to create a new calendar event.
Instead of reaching for your mouse, press Ctrl + R to quickly reply to the selected email.
When your message is ready to go, Ctrl + Enter sends it in new Outlook.
Made a mistake? Ctrl + Z reverses your most recent action, which can be a real lifesaver when you're moving quickly.
Want to emphasize an important point in an email? Ctrl + B applies bold formatting to your selected text.
None of these shortcuts are complicated. And that's exactly why they're useful.
Technology doesn't always have to mean adding another tool or learning a complicated system. Sometimes, getting more out of the technology you already use can make the biggest difference.
Try adding one or two of these Outlook keyboard shortcuts to your daily routine. Over time, those saved clicks can add up.
