Outlook allows users to save text passages, which then can easily be used later on. This could be, for example, answers to frequently asked questions. You can compose a great answer, save it, and use it later when the same question comes up again. That way, you avoid having to type the same reply over and over again. Below are instructions for creating such a text passage and using it at a later point.
- Begin by creating a new message by clicking "New Email".
- Type the text you want to save and highlight it.
- Click the "Insert" tab, followed by the "Quick Parts" button. Here, you would see text you have saved previously. Add highlighted text by clicking "Save selection to Quick Part Gallery...":
- Give the highlighted text a name.
- You have the option of creating categories of replies.
- A description can be made that appears when the cursor hovers over the text block.
- Click "OK":
- The text can now be selected when creating a new mail, event or meeting:
- To simplify access to "Quick Parts", click "Insert". Next, right-click "Quick Parts" and select "Add to Quick Access Toolbar":
- Next time you write an email, event, or meeting request, simply click on the small "Quick Parts" icon and select the text passage, no matter in which tab you currently are. Quick and easy.
