Getting a listof email addresses in Excel into Outlook This little trick is handy if you have a list of email addresses in Excel, and you want to use that list to send everyone an email using Outlook. It's really nothing more than copy and paste! In this example, I have four email addresses in Excel. I've highlighted them and did a Copy command: In a new Outlook message, I Paste them into the To field. They'll start off in a column like you see here:
- 10. Getting a listof email addresses in Excel into Outlook But in a matter of seconds, they'll resolve to the normal semicolon-delimited format, and you're ready to send: It definitely beats trying to retype them by hand, or reformat them in Notepad…

- 13. Finding folder namesin Outlook search This tip came to me via Sandra in the typical fashion… a Skype ping that starts "I just figured out something cool… wanna see?" She shared her screen and showed me how to search for items in your Outlook mail file and have it show you what folder it's in! Here's how it works… So here I'm in normal Outlook search, and I'm searching for the word purple. As soon as I put it in, it gives me results. But instead of taking the default of Current Mailbox, I use All Outlook Items:
- 14. Finding folder namesin Outlook search Now in the display, they are grouped by folder name instead of the age grouping I normally have turned on: This is a great way to find where a document might be hiding, and for you to narrow down where exactly it is in your mail file.

Requires an Office 365 subscription, a digital pen that supports Bluetooth, and the Windows 10 Fall creators Update on your computer. After setting up your device, the controls are pretty simple: Press the eraser button once to advance Press and hold the button to go backward

- 19. Clearing all filterswith a single click in Excel One of my colleagues at work wondered if there was an easy way to clear out multiple column filters in Excel without having to go into each column separately. A quick search on Google showed that you definitely can do that… Here I have a sample spreadsheet with random letters and numbers. I'm going to place a filter for the letter "a" in the first column and a filter for the number "2" in the second column:
- 20. Clearing all filterswith a single click in Excel I now have two column filters that reduced the number of rows from 11 to 2. Now if I want to remove all the filters at once, I can click on Data > Clear: Voilà… we're back to the original spreadsheet:

- 23. Fixing your quirkyspelling errors in Office Admit it… you have a few(?) words that you always misspell or mistype when working on a Word document, a PowerPoint deck, an Excel file, a OneNote notebook, or an Outlook email. And, for whatever reason, the program decides that your quirky spelling isn't important enough to fix for you automagically. Well, you can actually add your own spelling quirks to Office so that you don't have to wear out the backspace key fixing your errors. And yes… this is a case where you can fix it once, and *all* the programs will pick up the change! In whatever Office program you're in, go to File > Options, and then select Proofing > AutoCorrect Options:
- 24. Fixing your quirkyspelling errors in Office If you're in Outlook, the option is slightly different after File > Options. Go to Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect: Now you'll see the Proofing > AutoCorrect Options selection:
- 25. Fixing your quirkyspelling errors in Office Once you're in the AutoCorrect dialog box, you can enter new options on how you'd like Office to autocorrect your spelling. For me, I often misspell SharePoint as "SharEPoint", and I have to keep correcting it. By adding it to my list of autocorrections, it will always be corrected for me automagically: And again, if you do this in any of the Office programs, it will carry over to all the other Office programs. You don't have to make each change individually!

Convert an SVGimage to an Office shape Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Excel 2016 on Windows support inserting and editing scalable vector graphics (.SVG) files in your documents, presentations, emails, and workbooks. By converting an SVG image or icon to an Office shape you can disassemble the SVG file and edit individual pieces of it. Converting the file is quite easy; just right-click the SVG image in your document, workbook, or presentation and select Convert shape from the context menu that appears. Find out more on Office.com
- 31. Fixing unintended auto-correctsin Office Generally speaking, the Auto-Correct feature in Microsoft Office is great in fixing your typing mishaps. But depending on the industry you work in, there are certain acronyms that are constantly mistaken by Auto-Correct as misspellings. Here's how you can fix that… Using one of the Office programs (I'm using Word), go to File > Options, and click on Proofing > AutoCorrect Options:
- 32. Fixing unintended auto-correctsin Office In the list of autocorrections that Office will make, find your acronym that you want to leave in place when you use it. In my case, I want to keep HSA as is, without it being changed to HAS. Highlight that line, click Delete, and then click OK: All your HSAs will now be safe from autocorrection.
