Outlook 2016/2013 Tips & New Features

We’re focusing on Outlook 2016 and 2013 Tips & New Features this week. I have a video that goes over what I think are things the everyday user will want to know.

In the video, I feature two of the newer features with Outlook 2016/2013 which are the ability to insert a document (or link), from within your email and the new icons available that can be inserted in an email or calendar item. Cool!
