Email signatures are important and have a number of purposes. A well designed signature can be a real benefit to your company brand. They also provide all your contact details, can be used to help with marketing campaigns, and if you’re a business, provide important required information about your company registration. Here’s some guidance on adding signatures in Outlook.

If you need to search for emails, Outlook is pretty good, but it has its limits. Not least of all, it only goes back so far. When you search in Outlook desktop it’s looking through the emails that it has downloaded and cached on your computer, which is usually no more than 2 years worth, maybe less.

Have you noticed that every time you create a meeting in Outlook and invite someone else it always creates a Teams meeting as well?

If you are sending an Office document to someone, you might want to consider removing the meta data from it, particularly if you have collaborated on it with lots of different people.

That might not be information you wish to share!

Anyone who has ever worked on a document before losing their progress to an application crash or power cut knows only too well the dangers of not saving your work. So the introduction of Auto Save in Office seems to be, on the face of it, an absolute gem. But how does it work and what if you need to turn it off?
Over time, you may start to build up a nice set of Auto Correct customisations and shortcuts in Office on your PC.
