Microsoft Outlook 54305747 User Manual

Quick Start Guide

Microsoft Outlook 2013 looks different from previous versions, so we created
this guide to help you minimize the learning curve.

Make it yours

Customize Outlook. Choose different color schemes and different
backgrounds, and synchronize them with your other computers.

Backstage view

Click the File tab to open the
Backstage view, where you add
account and change settings.

Reply from the reading pane

Reply and Forward right from
the reading pane. Write a reply
in the reading pane, too.

Peek

See a quick view of your Calen­dar, People, and Tasks. Even see
upcoming appointments.

Search

You can search a folder, subfolders, even other mailboxes.

Manage message tasks in the Message List

Categorize, Flag, or Delete messages right where they live—in the
Message List.

Do more in the To-Do Bar

The To-Do Bar displays the date
navigator, your appointments,
people, and your task list.

People pane

See details about everyone in
the To, From, or Cc lines for
each message.

First things rst:

Change the Ofce Theme

Add your account

Before you can send or receive messages, you have to connect your email account.
If your company uses Microsoft Exchange, Outlook 2013 will attempt to set up your
email account for you.

If you use Internet-based email (such as Hotmail, Gmail, or Yahoo!), enter your name,
email address, and password to set up your account.

We’ve redesigned Ofce 2013 to provide a clean, uncluttered experience — like
a blank piece of paper. If you want to see the different areas of Outlook more

distinctly, you can change the Ofce Theme.

Use your File > Ofce Account settings to change the Ofce 2013 color scheme
for all of your computers, or use the Outlook Options to change the color scheme
on just this computer. You can choose from White, Light Gray, or Dark Gray.
