Outlook has many keyboard shortcuts which allows you to execute commands
without using your mouse or touchpad. By using keyboard shortcuts, you can achieve repetitive tasks more quickly.

With your Word document open and your outline set up, cursor over the heading and click the triange to expand or collapse it. To collapse or expand alll headings, right click a heading and hover over 'Expand/Collapse.' Choose either 'Expand All. To customize an automatic reply in Microsoft Outlook, first, you need to create a template of e-mail message that will be send according to custom rules. You can use a template, also, when you need to send messages regularly such as some reports, if it contains the same text, subject or recipients and just need a little modification. To collapse or expand all the headings in your document, right-click the heading and click Expand/Collapse Expand All Headings or Collapse All Headings. When you close and reopen a document, the headings will be expanded by default. If you want the document to open with the headings collapsed, follow these steps. If you expand the sections and save the document, Word will still collapse the headings when you open the document the next time. This simple example doesn't show this property's true strength. Do you mean you want to collapse or expand parts of the mail content when editing new email in Outlook? Unfortunately, there is no available settings in Outlook to do this collapsed text settings currently. In Word 2013, we can add an outline level and make part of your document collapsible.

As there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts available in Outlook, they have been divided into the following sections.

• Navigating the main Outlook interface
• Messages

Outlook program icon shortcuts

These keys need to be pressed and held down when clicking on the Outlook shortcut in for instance the Start Menu or Taskbar.

Navigating the main Outlook interface

The shortcuts below will allow you to browse through the main Outlook window.

Switch Navigation Pane selection

Browsing folders

Cycling through the panes, sections and fields

Tip!
Arrow keys can be used to “walk” within a pane. Use ENTER to execute the selected action.

Toggling Panes

By repeatedly pressing the keyboard shortcuts below, you can show or hide the corresponding pane. The Navigation Pane and the To-Do Bar also have a “minimized” state.

Navigating the Ribbon, Menus and Toolbars

The below ALT combinations aren’t actual keyboard shortcuts but a great help when you do not want to use a mouse and do not know the keyboard shortcut or when there simply isn’t a keyboard shortcut for the command. They basically allow you to browse the Ribbon, Menus and Toolbars like you would normally do with a mouse but then via your keyboard.

ALT commands in menu’s, toolbars and forms will show an underlined character which you need to press together with the ALT button. You can also press and release the ALT button and then use the ARROW keys to “walk” through the menus instead.

Hold the ALT button and type any of the underlined characters to execute the command.

ALT commands in the Ribbon and in Backstage (when pressing File in Outlook 2010 or later) will show a letter in a tooltip. You can press and let go of the ALT key and then simply type the letter in the tooltip to activate it or to navigate the Ribbon or in Backstage.

After typing the letter to activate the correct tab, new letters will show up to execute commands.

Tip!
While the classic File menu has changed to the Office Menu or Office Orb in Office 2007 and the File screen or Backstage in Outlook 2010 and later, its shortcut luckily never changed; use ALT+F to activate it.

Note:
Unlike most of the other keyboard shortcuts listed in this guide, the above ALT+letter keyboard shortcuts are highly depended on the language of Office that you have installed and thus not the same for all localized versions of Office programs.

Navigating through text and item lists

Most of the above key and combinations can also be used to navigate through the message list and views in other folders. For instance, the arrow keys are great for making selections in the Calendar folder.

Making selections and moving items
