Microsoft Outlook 2010 – Oops! Prevent CTRL+ENTER from Sending a Message

16 Oct

Prevent Outlook 2010 from interpreting an accidental CTRL+ENTER as a request to send the current e-mail / message.

You may be used to CTRL+ENTER placing a page break inside a Microsoft Word 2010 document. However, this does not work in Microsoft Outlook 2010. The first time you hit it, Outlook 2010 displays a dialog box warning you that pressing this keyboard combination will actually send the current message. If you are the type of person who skims through dialog boxes (ahem), you might accidentally check the box saying that you don’t want to be warned again, and then click the “Yes” button. Or you might do this intentionally at first, thinking it is a useful feature, allowing you to send a message without having to take your hands off the keyboard.

… and then later, disaster strikes when you are composing an e-mail while still in the Word 2010 mindset. You may start typing a draft message, press CTRL+ENTER thinking that you are inserting a page break, and oops! Outlook 2010 sends your draft message! And you know that e-mail is just about impossible to recall once sent. So if this scenario has happened to you, how can you get the dialog box to come back, or better yet completely disable this “feature” altogether?…

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 – Don’t Use Keyboard Shortcuts? Remove Them From ScreenTips

16 Oct

If you prefer not to use keyboard shortcuts in PowerPoint 2010, stop showing them in the pop-up ScreenTip help.

As you move your mouse pointer over various on-screen icons and other elements in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and see popup ScreenTips appear, you may have noticed keyboard shortcuts shown occasionally. If you’re used to pressing CTRL + S to save a document or CTRL + P to print one, you may find these reminders useful.

However, some people rarely venture far from the mouse, preferring to click buttons, navigate menus, and never worry about memorizing combinations of letters and modifier keys. If you fall in this latter category, you may wish to ditch these shortcut reminders….

Microsoft Outlook 2010 – Where is the Blind Carbon Copy Feature?

16 Oct

Send a copy of an e-mail via Blind Carbon Copy so all recipients are not shown.

Have you ever sent an e-mail to someone and needed to send a copy to their supervisor, coworker, or family member, and did not want the original recipient to know everyone to whom you are sending a copy? Or do you need to send e-mail to dozens or hundreds of people, such as an ad hoc mailing list you manage, and do not wish everyone to see each other’s e-mail address?

Most e-mail programs support a feature called BCC, or Blind Carbon Copy, allowing you to send e-mail to a person or group of people and keep those recipient addresses hidden. Microsoft Outlook 2010 has such a feature as well, but you need to know where to look……

Microsoft Excel 2010 – Stop Accidentally Showing the Ribbon Shortcut Keys

16 Oct

While navigating through worksheets in Excel 2010, pressing slash on the keyboard shows the ribbon shortcut keys. Learn how to prevent this from happening.

While navigating through cells in a Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet, have you ever seen letters and numbers appear next to options in the Ribbon like the below screenshot?

If so, you may have accidentally pressed the slash (/) key. Doing so activates the menu to satisfy compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3 users, who would normally press this key to access menu options. However, many younger accountants and computer users barely remember this program, if at all, and do not need this ‘feature’ occurring when their fingers slip pressing arrow keys. To disable this:…

Microsoft Excel 2010 – For Worksheet Drafts Print Default Headings And / Or Gridlines

01 Aug

Don’t want to spend time manually creating border lines or headers for a particular draft worksheet? Have Excel 2010 print default gridlines and column headings.

Though a simple tip, if you didn’t know how to do this before, you’ll be happy to know this option is available. By default, Microsoft Excel 2010 does not print gridlines, expecting that you will add your own borders to presented data. The letter column headings are also not printed, as you are expected to create your own descriptors for data.

Sometimes you may be working on an in-progress worksheet or one where time is of the essence and the worksheet style does not matter. In these situations you can quickly toggle the printout of gridlines and headings to help organize your data:…

Microsoft Word 2010 – Hide the Recent Documents and Clear the Recent Places for Privacy

01 Jul

Prevent Word 2010 from showing recently-accessed documents, and clear the list of recently-opened document locations.

Microsoft Word 2010, similar to other Office 2010 applications, keeps a list of recently open documents, making them available by selecting “File” – “Recent”. This way if you have a variety of documents located in deeply-nested subdirectories or network shares, you can quickly access them without having to navigate via Explorer.

For privacy reasons, many people would rather not have this list available. It can be disabled like so:…
