Creating Sections

Instead of creating an e-mail that is pages long that people have to trawl through to get to the section they want (eg. month end reports for 12 countries),is it possible to create 'sections' that expand when you click on the relevant section?

RE: Creating Sections

Hi Julie,
Thank you for your post, in answer to your question; is your report as an attachment, and is it in MS Word?
If your answer is yes, you could use Outlining to create the different levels, then you can expand or collapse them as you require.
To operate outlining; Go to the menu command View>Outline and create/edit your document, you should set headings(levels) which you can then Show or Hide as required using the Outlining toolbar.

I hope that has helped.

However if you are using the text area of your email, (HTML) there are a number of text editors which will do a similar job for you.
I hope that has helped, best regards Pete.

RE: Creating Sections

Thanks for the reply. The text is in the body of the e-mail and that is where I wanted to expand/collapse the text. Can you recommend a text editor that would work with Outlook?

RE: Creating Sections

Hi Julie,

Ive just had a thought, you can use Word as the Text editor in Outlook;

If you then create your document in Word with all the squeeks and whistles as mentioned in my previous post, and then use the File>Send To>Mail Reciepient.

I have just given it a try and it works... wow!!.

Give it a try.
regards Pete
