When you select a message in the message list, you can see the message in the Reading Pane and access many different types of file attachments. You can customize how the Reading Pane works and appears, or you can turn it off. Show
In addition to using the Reading Pane to help you quickly scan your messages, you can also preview the first few lines of messages in your message list, and you can break up long messages by splitting the message window. Turn on, turn off, or move the Reading PaneThe Reading Pane is turned on by default. Do one of the following:
Selecting Off closes the Reading Pane only for the folder youre in. To turn off the Reading Pane quickly for multiple folders, on the View tab, select Change View > Apply Current View to Other Mail Folders, and then choose folders in the Apply View dialog box. Mark messages as read after previewing in the Reading Pane
Always preview messages when switching foldersTurning on 'always preview messages' will displaythe most recent message in the reading pane when navigating to another folder. With this feature turned off, the first time navigating to a folder after launching Outlook you will see 'Select an item to Read' in the navigation pane. Always preview messages is turned off by default, but you can turn it on or off at any time.
Move through messages by pressing the space bar (single key reading)Single key reading using the space bar lets you move quickly through your messages in the Reading Pane. Each time that you press the space bar, the Reading Pane content scrolls down one page. At the end of the item, the next unread item in your message list appears. Single key reading is turned on by default, but you can turn it on or off at any time.
Make previewed items larger or smaller in the Reading PaneThere are two ways to temporarily increase or decrease the zoom level in the Microsoft Outlook Reading Pane. Do one of the following:
Note:The zoom affects only the current item in the Reading Pane. When you select another item or folder, the Reading Pane returns to the default zoom of 100 percent. Display a message preview in the message listFor a way to quickly scan your Inbox, try Message Preview, where you can choose to display between one and three lines of each message in the message list, along with the sender's name and the subject line. On the View tab, select Message Preview, and then choose an option.
Split the message window to break up a long messageIn a message that you're reading or composing, you can split the window horizontally into two panes. This enables you to scroll each pane separately so that you can view two sections of a message that you otherwise couldnt see on the screen at the same time.
To return to a single message pane view, drag the split bar to the top or bottom of the window. You can also press Ctrl+Alt+S again to turn off the split view. |
