Find Related Messages• Click on the message in the list with the right mouse button.

• Select Find Related | Messages in This Conversation from the menu that comes up.

Edit Subject Lines• As many users know, you can edit the subject line in a message. This makes it easier to find

messages especially when they don't include a subject.

• In Outlook 2010, when you use the default view with the Date (Conversation) setting, you'll see the original subject in the message list:

• As you can see, the edited subject shows in the preview pane but not in the message list, because you are only changing the subject, not the conversation title, and the new Conversation view uses the Conversation field.

Address Multiple E-Mails at Once• Launch Outlook 2010, and navigate to Home tab, from Quick Steps group, click Create New.

• Upon click, Edit Quick Step dialog will appear. Now from Choose an Action drop-down list, under Respond group, select New Message.

Address Multiple E-Mails at Once• Now from Name, give this Quick Step an appropriate name and click Show Options to fill out

other details.

• Upon click, it will show different options. You can add pre-defined Subject, set Flag, Importance and Text to the message. From Optional select desired Shortcut key from the list. Now click Add Action to add more email addresses and pertaining information.

Address Multiple E-Mails at Once• Repeat the procedure to add more New Message from

Respond group and start adding as many contacts as required with desired subject and message. Click Save to continue.

Address Multiple E-Mails at Once• Now you will see the newly created step is now created in

the Quick Steps group, ready to send messages at once.

• Upon click, multiple Mail Compose windows will open-up, just click Send on respective windows to send emails instantly.

Perform a Mail Merge• Email: You can also personalize your newsletters or flyers, and email them out

automatically to a customized contact list.

Step 1: Set up your Word doc• Open the template that you want to use for your flyer or newsletter, or open a

new document.• Click on the Mailings tab and click Start Mail Merge.

Or use filtering.

Best practice

• Click Match Fields to confirm that your column headings match the column headings that Word will look for during the merge.

• If they don’t match, you can map them.• For more information, see

Use mail merge to send personalized e-mail messages to your e-mail address list.

Step 3: Insert a greeting line• Click where you want to add personalized information—for

example, a greeting line to each recipient of your email message.

• On the Mailings tab, in the Write & Insert Fields group, click Greeting Line.

• Choose the format that you want for your greeting, and then click OK.

Step 3: Insert a greeting line

Step 4: preview and Send

• To see all your messages, click Preview Results.• You can use the arrows to click through the results.

Gotcha Alert• Your document will be sent in the body of the email message,

so readers don’t need to have Word installed on their computers.

• When you click Send E-mail Messages, you’ll be prompted to provide a subject line.

• When you click OK, your email messages will be sent automatically.

Step 4: preview and send• Click Finish and Merge, and then click Send E-mail

Messages.

• Type a subject line for your message in the Subject line box, and then click OK.

Step 4: preview and send• Finally, save your document.• The data will remain connected to your document, so that you can use it

again.• The next time you open the document, Word will ask whether you want to

keep that connection. • Click Yes to open the document, and then you’re ready to run another mail

merge.
