CTRL Shortcuts Make Outlook Easier to Use [Black Belt Productivity]
I work in a corporate environment. So as you can imagine, we are using Microsoft products exclusively here at the office. So I am constantly looking for ways to make Outlook more effective and efficient.
My use of Outlook has been streamlined a bit recently. I have used some keyboard shortcuts to create new emails (CTRL+Shift+M) and file memos away in my reference folder (CTRL+Shift+V) for a while now. However, I still opened about 7 windows in Outlook to keep my calendar, reference folder, action folder, notes, contacts and other things handy.
There is a better way.
I recently discovered that you can get to all of these things with simple keyboard shortcuts from one window.
CTRL+1 calls up your inbox
CTRL+2 opens your calendar
CTRL+3 brings your contacts up
CTRL+4 opens your task list
CTRL+5 takes you to your notes
CTRL+6 opens your folder list in a pane on the left
CTRL+Y has the same function as CTRL+Shift+V. It opens a window to move a memo to another folder.
Using these shortcuts has made my experience with Outlook much easier in recent days.
Outlook users, try them out and let us know if it helps you in the comment section.
