Outlook shorthand for dates

-

  • Go to Calender in Outlook and select print from the File menu.
  • Select monthly style in the print style option

Outlook will interpret your shorthand and print accordingly. Most of us can type 4mo faster than we can count four months into the future.

In the Customize dialog box, click the Commands tab. 4. Select Actions from the Categories list box. 5. Next, drag the approp...
