How to Repair a Damaged Data File in Outlook

Managing Auto-Complete Lists and Suggested Contacts

If you are using the Outlook for a long time, then you possibly have seen its Auto-Complete feature at work. For a new email message, when you start typing in an address field suddenly a list of email address and suggested are displayed below the field. You can click to accept one of these Auto-Complete suggestions.

If you do not want to choose any theme, click on the Font button under New Mail Messages & Replying or Forwarding Message to select fonts, colors & sizes for each of those settings.

Attaching Pictures to Contact Records

Contact records with attaching pictures plays potentially an emotional and amusing part, but it has many uses in everyday life. If you are meeting with a colleague first time, so you can send Outlook business card to the other person that contain your picture. The picture attached to your Outlook item can be synchronizing with your phone also. From Options group on the Contact tab select Picture and Add Picture. If a picture is already connected with contact item, so there is an option to remove and change the picture. If you want to crop that picture which you want to decide to use, then crop it before using it in Outlook.

Juggling Multiple Time Zones

Outlook has a feature to edit and create appointment by setting up the time zone, mentioning starting and End Time fields. This feature come in use along with Outlook 2007 and solved a big problem for travelling across the world and country. But also gives a problem.

When you see the time, Outlook shows you the time you set in that time zone. As Outlook assumes that the time you mentioned is the current time zone but it is not. So, that appointment or meeting time makes you late by 18 hours.

The solution for the problem is to click on the Time Zones command on the Meeting or Appointment tab and then select the current time zone for both start time and end time. That displays you the meeting or appointment time according to the Sydney time zone.

You can select additional time zone to show in the calendar, which is useful to you when you are traveling and also work with peoples all over the world.
