Opening New Windows in Outlook Can Save You Time

(Applies to Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003)

Switching back and forth between Outlook windows (Calendar, Inbox, Contacts, etc.) is sometimes necessary depending on your tasks. If you find yourself switching a lot, stop. Open each application in its own window and use the Taskbar (open programs to the Right of your Start button) to move quickly between them.

Simply right-click on an item button (i.e. Calendar) or in the folders list and choose Open In New Window. Open as many applications as you need. To move back and forth between them, simply click the appropriate icon on the Taskbar. That way, you always return to a window exactly the way you left it.

I find this to be a bit quicker sometimes...
If the Taskbar isn't available or it's crowded, use the Alt+Tab shortcut to cycle through the open applications.

To close a window...
Simply click its Close button ("X"). Choose Exit from any File menu to close all open Outlook windows at once.

I hope you found this tip helpful.

If it's taking longer than it should...
please give me a call and schedule a one-on-one session to learn the essentials to perform Outlook's Best Practices.

Please keep me in mind if you would like to have a one-on-one session, a small group session with people you know, or perhaps for your entire office.

John...you're welcome. I know opening new browser windows is something many people do when srufing the internet...but opening multiple windows for Outlook?  It helps me save time and hope it does so for you too.
