Outlook Quick Parts - insert frequently used text automatically

If you write certain things again and again when e-mailing contacts, you can save time using Outlook Quick Parts.

  1. Create a quick part by highlighting some typed text that you'd like to save as a quick part.
  2. Click the Insert tab and choose Quick Parts in the Text group of the Ribbon. A drop-down menu appears.
  3. Choose Save Selection to Quick Parts Gallery. The Create New Building Block dialog box appears.
  4. Type a new name for your Quick Part if you don't like the one you see.
    The suggested name might be fine, but you may prefer something else. You can also assign a category and description to your Quick Part, but that makes very little difference in how you use it, so you can leave that alone.
    Click OK
    After creating a Quick Part, you can make it appear in an e-mail body in a flash: Click Quick Parts in the Ribbon and click the Quick Part you want.
