Keep Outlook running smoothly by emptying the Deleted Items folder
Outlook stores messages, including large attachments, in one file. That storage file includes the Deleted Items folder. When you fail to empty the Deleted Items folder, the deleted email continues to contribute to the mailbox size. Therefore you should regularly empty the Deleted Items folder.
You can configure Outlook to automatically empty Deleted Items when exiting the email application. Do the following:
1. Click Tools, and select Options,
2. Click the Other tab and select Empty The Deleted Items Folder Upon Exiting
3. Click the OK button.
Please note you will be given a choice when exiting Outlook.
Delete a stubborn page break in Word
Trying to delete a page break in a word document but Word just ignores the action.
Check that you have Track Changes enabled. You can’t delete page (or column) breaks when Track Changes is on.
If you need to delete a page break, turn off Track Changes, delete the break (make sure you’re in Normal view), and enable Track Changes again.
HINT:
To quickly disable and enable Track Changes, in Word 2003 double-click the TRK section in the Status bar or in Word 2007 turn on Track Changes in the Status bar and click to turn on or off.
The shortcut is [Ctrl]+[Shift]+E for all versions of Word.
Add a secondary sort column to an Outlook sort
You know that you can sort Outlook items by clicking a column title. Clicking toggles between ascending and descending order.
But Outlook doesn’t limit you to a single-column sort. To sort by two columns, sort the primary column. Then, hold down the [Shift] key and click the column cell that represents the secondary sort group.
