15 tips to improve your Computer Skills

1. Keep your computer running at its best – without calling for IT support. Make it a habit to shut down your programs and reboot your computer just before you leave the office every day. This will help keep your computer running smoothly, reliably and efficiently.

2. Did you know that you can automatically identify important emails in Microsoft Outlook? You can color emails sent only to you, as opposed to when you are in a group, differently from other emails. How about easily identifying emails from important colleagues or your boss? Try this out

– go to your Microsoft Outlook Inbox and then in the menu bar click on Tools ‐ Organize and then in the resulting menu window click on Using Colors.

3. Ever find that email gets too distracting? Want a break from all the noise and pop‐ups? Customize your settings or disable those pop ups by opening Microsoft Outlook and going to Tools ‐ Options ‐ Email Options ‐ Advanced E‐Mail Options and look in the “When new items arrive in my Inbox” section.

4. Have you considered the possibilities for Instant Messaging in your office but are concerned about the security risks and inability to track activity?
