Creating a Rule in MS Outlook
by Carol Bratt on August, 20 2007 at 08:08AM EDT
Why would you want to create a rule in Outlook? Well, suppose you are the chairman of a committee and everyone has to send you a report that you in turn share with another committee. Wouldn't it be a lot easier when you receive those reports to have a rule set up so that they will automatically be sent to the other committee? You bet it would!
Follow the steps below to create a rule in MS Outlook:
- Display the Tools menu and then click the Rules Wizard command. The Rules Wizard dialog box will display.
- Click the New button.
- Click the type of rule you want to create.
- Click the Next button.
- Click all of the conditions which should apply to the rule.
- Click the Next button.
- If necessary, add any further actions. Based on what you have selected, there may be words with blue underlines in the Rules description section. If so, click these words.
- Click the Next button.
- Click all the exceptions which should apply to the rule.
- Click the Next button.
- If you do not like Outlook's name, enter a new name and then click the Finish button.
- Click the OK button.
That's it - you're finished!
