Multiple Outlook Email Recipients

Dear Ms. Bytes,

I spend a lot of time in Outlook emailing, tasking, maintaining my calendar and keeping track of my Contacts. Since upgrading to 2010, I have not been able to find a feature that I used daily. I like to open my Contacts, select several and send a message to them all at once. This would create an email addressed to anyone I had selected. Can I do this in 2010?

Sincerely,
Lost in 2010

Dear Lost in 2010,

This is a great feature and is definitely available in your new version of Outlook. In your Contacts, select the individuals to whom you would like to send a message. This can be done by holding down the CTRL key while clicking the desired Contacts. Then click EMAIL from the Communicate grouping on the Home tab. A new email window will display with all of your recipients ready for you to enter your message.

Sincerely,
Ms. Bytes

The Ribbon

Dear Ms. Bytes

Dear Ms. Bytes,

The Ribbon is taking up a lot of space that could be better used as document space.

How can I minimize the Ribbon?

Sincerely,
Tangled Up in Ohio

Dear Tangled,

The Ribbon helps you access more of the commands you need, when you need them. But if you want to see the Ribbon only when you need it, you can minimize it so only the tab names appear all the time. To minimize the Ribbon in any program, double-click any tab name, or press CTRL+Fl. You can also right- click any tab name for the option to minimize the Ribbon .

Sincerely,
Ms. Bytes

Help Generating TOA

Dear Ms. Bytes, Word

Dear Ms Bytes,

I took the Table of Authorities class last month and loved it, but I still need some help. When I generate the TOA, my page numbers are incorrect.

Sincerely,
Mary in Los Angeles

Dear Mary,

Thank you for writing. We love to hear from our users. When generating a table of authorities, make sure to turn off Show/Hide, (Ctrl+Shift+8) and hide the TOA codes before generating a table of authorities, or for that matter a table of contents if you’ve manually marked the TOC.

Sincerely,
Ms. Bytes
