*** Tip of the Week: An Outlook Keyboard Shortcut You Should Use Every Day
You look over the e-mail you've just finished to make sure there are no errors and it's addressed to the right person. Everthing is okay, so you take your hands off the keyboard to grab your mouse to send it. Stop! There's a quicker way. The mouse is great when you want to choose from among several options. The next time you are ready to send an e-mail, try holding down the Control key while hitting Enter. Try this for the next ten e-mails you send. The old adage "use it or lose it" applies here. If you do it several times in a row, you'll remember the key strokes and you won't have to think about it again. Contact Reba Nance, reban@cobar.org, with questions.
