MailThe first time you create a message in Outlook 2007 (or open one you receive), you’ll see the Ribbon.
It’s the band across the top of the window.
![Page 14: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Create a new messageIt’s time to look at writing and sending an e-mail message using Outlook 2007.
In a new message, first get oriented to the Ribbon. The Message tab is on top, with the commands you’re most likely to use every time you create and send a message.
![Page 15: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Introducing the RibbonHere’s a new e-mail message. The Ribbon is at the top of the window.
The Ribbon is visible each time you create or edit something in Outlook.
The formatting of the Ribbon is very similar to that of Word 2007. So, if you have used Word 2007, you should get the hang of this Ribbon.
![Page 16: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A closer look at the Ribbon
To better help you learn how to use the Ribbon, here’s a guide to its basic arrangement.
1

Tabs: The Ribbon is made up of different tabs, each related to specific kinds of work you do in Outlook.
Groups: Each tab has several groups that show related items together.
Commands: A command is a button, a box to enter information, or a menu.
![Page 17: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Ribbon shows what you needOnce again, you’ll encounter the Ribbon when you take certain actions such as creating messages, calendar entries, or contacts.
The Ribbon shows tabs and commands appropriate for what you’re doing.
That is, the tabs on the Ribbon will differ depending on the area of Outlook you’re working in.
![Page 18: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The picture shows some of these differences.

A new appointment shows the Appointment tab.
A new contact shows the Contact tab.
The Ribbon shows what you need
![Page 19: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Quick Access ToolbarThe Quick Access Toolbar is a small toolbar above the Ribbon.
It’s there to make the commands you need and use most often readily available.
What’s best about the Quick Access Toolbar? What’s on it is up to you.
That is, you can add your favorite commands to it with a simple right-click.
![Page 20: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Quick Access ToolbarYou’ll see and use different Quick Access Toolbars depending on the area of Outlook that you’re working in.
For example, customizations that you make to the Quick Access Toolbar for messages you send will not appear on the Quick Access Toolbar for Contacts.
![Page 21: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There’s more than meets the eyeA small arrow at the bottom of a group means there’s more available than what you see.
This button is called the Dialog Box Launcher.
The picture shows that to see a full list of font options, you’d click the arrow next to the Basic Text group on the Message tab of a new e-mail message.
![Page 22: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Create a new messageUsing other tabs
For example, to insert a picture so that it appears in line with the text of your message (not as a separate attachment), you’ll need to switch to the Insert tab.
If you’re having trouble finding a command or button, you may need to look on another tab.
![Page 23: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Use the Address Book to add recipients
Do you use the Address Book to add names to the To, Cc, and Bcc fields?
You’ll find the Address Book command on the Message tab.
![Page 24: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Use the Address Book to add recipients
The address list for the University is referred to the “Global Address List”.
In Lotus Notes, you used to search by last name, then first name. When searching for contacts in Outlook, you must search the first name then last name.
To add the contact to the mail message, Click on “To”, “CC” or “Bcc” to add the contact to the message.
![Page 25: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Show or hide the Bcc field
If you prefer to type e-mail addresses directly in the To and Cc boxes, you may also want to know how you can show the Bcc field so that you can type names there, too.
The picture shows the location of the Show Bcc command.
As you can see, you’ll find it on the Options tab.
Note: You should only have to do this the first time.
![Page 26: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Using Check NamesIf you are typing a name of a student, facultyor staff member directly into the To, Cc, or Bcc fields, you will need to check that the name you typed matches the entry in the Global Contacts.
To check the name(s), click the Check Names button, or press Ctrl + K on your keyboard
To choose the proper recipient from the Check Names list: click on the recipient, and click OK.
The name should then show up as underlined in the To, Cc, or Bcc box, seen below.

Include your signature
Do you use a personal e-mail signature at the end of your Lotus Notes messages?
You can create signatures for use in Outlook as well.
A signature is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message.It usually contains your name, title, organization, and business contact information.
![Page 29: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Include your signature
To create a signature, start by clicking the arrow under the Signature command.
Any signatures that you create will show up here.
To create new signatures, set a default signature, or modify existing signatures, click Signatures.

You can use Spell Check to double-check for spelling and grammar mistakes.
To use Spelling & Grammar, click on the Spelling button in the Proofing group, located on the Message tab.

Picture this: tabs that come and go
The discussion of pictures provides an opportunity to explain one more thing about the Ribbon:
Some tabs only appear when you do specific tasks.

Include an attachmentWhere you’ll find Attach File
You’ll use the Attach File command found on the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
Including an attachment is a common activity, so you’ll find Attach File on both the Message tab and the Insert tab.
![Page 34: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How others receive attachments that you send
Office 2007 documents each have a new file format (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx)
When sending attachments of documents created in Office 2007 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), others should not have any trouble opening attachments that you send, as long as they have Office 2007.
All faculty and staff should be using Office 2007, so there should not be a problem within the university. However, please be aware that not everyone outside of the university may be using Office 2007. If you are unsure, ask the recipient(s), or send the document in the 97-2003 format (.doc, .xls, .ppt). This format can be chosen from ‘File’ > ‘Save As..’ in that Office program.
![Page 35: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Respond to a message
E-mail isn’t just about sending…
…it’s also about receiving and replying.

Creating foldersPrevious lessons described ways to act on messages and ways to sort and organize them within a category.
But what if you want to sort messages into distinct groups and keep them separate from other messages (thereby getting them out of your Inbox)?
Folders can help you do this.
![Page 62: Microsoft ® Office Outlook ® 2007 Training: Getting Started Western Connecticut State University presents:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020106/56649c515503460f948faaf4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Why create folders?The picture shows an example of using folders: “Coho Winery” and “Contoso.”
You may already use a filing system in your office. Once you learn how to create folders, you can easily adapt any existing folder-naming system to Outlook.
