Another Great Thing About Gmail!!

Reblogger Wallace S. Gibson, CPM
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

I often write my ActiveRain blog in GMAIL to change fonts, colors, etc. and then copy and paste...I can save in DRAFT in GMAIL and not risk losing my work when AR acts up...I love the idea of the canned response option.

Another great thing about Gmail!!

Do you find yourself typing the same emails over and over again? If you are like me sometime down the road I wrote some and saved them, whether in Word, Google Docs,etc...

But then you still have to go get them cut and paste them into your email! That's better then retyping them but something caught my eye today... It has probably been there all along but like so many other things it is right under our noses but we don't see it!!

Right above where we type our messages there is a little line that says “canned response” so I clicked on it and it gives you a few options, save, insert or delete.  

Light bulb came on!!

So I went to retrieve one of my “canned responses” and brought it into my Gmail and pasted it into the body of the email and then I clicked “canned response” again and this time I clicked “new canned response” under the “save” option.  I named it what I wanted to and clicked out of that window.
Canned
Went back to compose mail and clicked “canned response” again and this time in the drop down menu was my response, clicked on it and in a instant it was in the body and ready to go!!

Love it when the “light bulb” comes on!!

Wallace, thank you for passing this one forward as I missed it the first time. Gmail is a resource that is beyond efficient as is Google docs.

Interesting information.  I have a gmail account but just forward to my other account. This looks like an interesting use.  Thanks.

Helpful stuff. Cloning on CMS sites is such a time saver too when over and over something needs to be brought over when there is duplication. Pays to keep up with the stuff to save time which is money $$$!

There are a lot of features that we never use. Play with Gmail and the features like you point out. I send all transaction emails to separate files so they are organized.

Wallace, 

I love it.  I don't use my gmail e-mail that much.  Will have to set that up. 

All the best, Michelle

Hi Wallace - I read a year to two ago on ActiveRain that many people use Gmail to write their posts.  At this point in time, I still use the AR editor.

Thanks for the reblog. Nice to know about this feature. I have given up using Outlook, and just use gmail now. Then I have my files on Dropbox. So no matter where I am, regardless of the kind of computer I use, as long as I have internet access I can work anywhere. So liberating!

I have never used g-mail but this is interesting and might make me check it out.  It takes me awhile to come around to new formats, still ole -school. Thanks
