Question: I would like to blind copy a message, but I don’t have a Bcc button. Is this feature not available in Outlook?
Answer: In an open message, Go to Options > Show Bcc. It should stay on unless you change it.
Question: This week we had some say their text when typing email messages was very tiny. Then another said their Outlook web mail was large.
Answer: More than likely you accidentally touched the roller on your mouse when holding your control key which zooms text in and out. To zoom larger, hold the Ctrl key and move the roller on the mouse to get the desired size. If you have a Mac, press Ctrl and + or – keys to zoom in and out.
Question: How can I send an email to many people without them seeing the entire list of recipients?
Answer: Enter the names or group name in the bcc field. This way each person will only see their his/her name. By default you don’t see bcc in an Outlook message, but you can include it by selecting the Options tab and click BCC. This will enable that field to be seen on all new messages.
Question: I would like to create a mail merge to Outlook email so that I can customize the content based on various fields of information. I appeared to follow the steps correctly but no messages were sent? Is this feature disabled at UNMC?
Answer: I had the same problem when I tried merging to Outlook. After much searching on the web, I discovered the problem seems to stem from your computer workstation not understanding that Outlook is your default mail program. Even if you have set your default programs in the Computer Control Panel, it may not be correct in your regedit.exe file. You can change this file (follow steps carefully or have a workstation or Helpdesk staff assist):

Question: When I start typing a name I like the auto complete finds a name I’ve recently corresponded with. However, I have an incorrect address and would like to delete it? In Lotus Notes I could just go in and delete them from the Recent Contacts in the Contact view. But I don’t even know where to find them in Outlook
Answer: In Outlook you should see “Suggested Contacts” (which would be the same as recent contacts) in your Contact view, but in some cases I have heard that people don’t have that option. Even if you do, I have found that the “incorrect” name may not be listed to delete.
So, the better option is actually very easy. When you start typing the name and the “suggested” name automatically pops up, press the x to delete the name if you’re in Outlook 2010. Or just press the delete key on the keyboard. On the Mac, you may need to hold the function key with Delete. Thereafter name should no longer pop up.
