OUTLOOK TIPS & TRICKS!!

Here are some really cool “CTRL” functions that I found to be very handy! Just another way to get you where you need to be in Outlook world!

From any view in Outlook:
[Ctrl]+2: Go to Calendar view from any other view.
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+A: Create a new appointment in any view

From calendar view in Outlook:
[Alt]+1-9: View specific number of days, beginning with the selected day. For instance, if April 14 is selected and you press [Alt]+4, Calendar will display April 14 through 17. I use this one often.
[Ctrl]+G: Go to a specific date. When you press [Ctrl]+G in Calendar view, Outlook displays a dialog box. Enter a date or choose a date from the dropdown, and click OK. Calendar view will maintain the current view.
[Alt]+-: Switch to Weeks view. (That’s the hyphen or minus character to the right of 0.)
[Alt]+=: Switch to Month view. (That’s the equal sign to the left of [Backspace]).
