Microsoft™ Outlook Tips (Part Deux)

Last week we ran a bit on tips for Outlook 2002 to help make your day-to-day activities as an Insurance agent a little easier. We got a few questions back, along with some requests for tips on Outlook 2003. It appears a lot of you agents out there are using Office 2003 (the latest version)

Put Outlook 2003 Notes (Yellow sticky notes) on Your Desktop
Note that the physical path for Outlook 2003 is "Office11", not "Office10" which is the path for OUtlook 2002.

Right-click the desktop, point to New, and click Shortcut.

  1. In the Type the location of the item box, type the following path: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c ipm.stickynote
  2. Click Next, name the shortcut, and then click Finish.

Now, when you double-click the shortcut, an Outlook note will appear for you to type in.

Send It Again! (Resend the message)

1. Open the message.

2. Click the Actions menu.

3. Click Resend this message... A new message is created and can be altered before sending.

UNSEND! (Recall a message that you’ve sent)

1. Open your Sent Items folder.

2. Double-click the message you want recalled.

3. On the Actions menu, click Recall This Message.

4. To recall the message, click Delete unread copies of this message. To replace the message with another one, click Delete unread copies and replace with a new message, click OK, and then type a new message.

5. To be notified about the success of the recall or replacement for each recipient, select the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient check box.

Mapping an address using Outlook and the Internet

1.      In Contacts, double-click the contact whose address you want to locate.

2.      Choose the address you want to find on a map—Business, Home, or Other.

3.      On the Actions menu, click Display Map of Address. Your Web browser will open up and display a map of the contact's address using the MSN.com maps web site.

HUMOR

100% Sales

Private Jones was assigned to the Army induction center, where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their Serviceman's Group Life Insurance (SGLI).

It wasn't long before the center's Lieutenant noticed that Private Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Lt. stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.

Jones explained the basics of the SGLI to the new recruits, and then said. "If you have SGLI and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have SGLI, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

Vacation
A traveling insurance salesman was held up by a bad storm in the Hawaiian Islands.

He sent an e-mail to his corporate headquarters advising them that he was stranded for a few days and requested instructions.

The reply came back shortly: "Begin vacation as of yesterday."
