(Narrator:) Compose a new email. [Intro music fades]
Let's create a new email now. Outlook is open on my computer.
I'll use the keystroke we just mentioned to create a new email. CTRL+N, November.
(JAWS:) Ctrl N. Untitled - message (HTML). To edit.
(N:) A new message opens with focus in the To: edit box. I'll type in an email address to
send the message to. For demonstration I'll just use my own email address DClark@Vispero.
[computer "click" sound] (J:) Dan Clark. DClark@Vispero.com (recent people) One of two.
(N:) And I'll press ENTER there. [computer "pop" sound]
Autocomplete list sounds. You may have noticed the slight pop sounds when I was
typing that address let me explain what that is. As you begin typing an email
address Outlook may display an autocomplete list. This autocomplete list
lets you pick a person's email from the list as opposed to having to type it all
the way out. So it is nice to know when it appears like that. Once you hear the
pop sound that announces it you can down arrow into that list and then press
ENTER on an item. Once the address is completed you also hear a different
sound when the autocomplete list closes. So those are the two sounds you just
heard. Let me demonstrate it once more for you.
I'll type in D. (J:) Dan Clark. DClark@Vispero [computer "click" sound] dot com (recent people)
One of Two.
(N:) You heard that click sound and as I press ENTER [computer "pop" sound]
there was a different pop sound. Those were the sounds that are made when
the autocomplete list opens to let you know that there are choices there and
you can press up and down arrow to move through or when it closes you also hear
a different sound. A very useful feature. Next press the TAB key.
(J:) Edit. CC edit.
(N:) This moves to the next control the CC: or Carbon Copy edit box.
I won't CC anyone at this time. Press TAB.
(J:) Subject edit. (N:) Focus moves to the subject
edit box. I'll type in something like test message for demonstration purposes.
Press tab once more. (J:) Test message for demonstration purposes - message (HTML). Edit.
(N:) Focus moves to the body edit area of the message
where you can type the message you want to send. I'll simply type hello this is a
sample email. I'm not going to do this yet but to send the message you can
press the keystroke ALT+S, Sierra, but don't do that just yet as I want to show
you something more. For most people this is all you need for creating and sending
an email. There's another field you may want to use sometimes that's not
initially available in new messages. Let's look at how to turn on the BCC or
a Blind Carbon Copy field. The BCC field is used to send the email to someone
else besides the persons in the To: or CC: field secretly. This feature for Outlook
is perhaps more suited for people in an office environment but may be used by
anyone anywhere. An example might be where I will BCC someone like my
colleague's supervisor while sending an email to that colleague. I don't want
them to feel pressured by knowing their boss is seeing the email but it may be
just to let their boss know that they're doing some work for me.
Adding the BCC field. The BCC field is not on by default. To turn it on first
you must be in a message that you're composing. If you haven't already created
a new message as part of this lesson, press CTRL+N, November, to create a new
message. If you've been following along with me let's use the email I've been
composing. Press ALT+P, Papa, to move to the options tab of the ribbon.
(J:) Alt P. Upper ribbon. Ribbon. Options tab. (N:) Press B, Bravo, to toggle the setting on or off.
(J:) Leaving menus. Leaving ribbons. Edit. (N:) It's in the show fields permission group of
the lower ribbon. Focus is in the body of the message I've been composing so I'll
press CTRL+HOME to move to the top of the message body edit area.
(J:) Top of file. Hello this is a sample email.
(N:) Next press SHIFT+TAB to move back to the subject edit box. (J:) Subject edit. Test message for demonstration purposes.
(N:) Press SHIFT+TAB once more.
(J:) BCC edit. (N:) There it is. The BCC edit box.
I won't type an email address here now.
Press SHIFT+TAB a few more times to verify that the CC: and To: edit boxes are
still populated as we had them before.
(J:) CC edit. To edit. Dan Clark : Dan Clark :
(N:) Finally when you're finished composing the email go ahead and
send it by pressing ALT+S, Sierra.
