Double-click any contact name in any workspace or from the Launchbar. 2. Optionally, add additional contacts by clicking Add More. Type your message, and then click Send. Messages appear as pop-up windows above the Office Groove 2007 icon on the Windows taskbar, and are delivered rapidly if recipients are online. Offline recipients receive messages when they go online. Note: After you've closed a message, you can access it again in your Message History. Click the icon in the lower-left corner of the Launchbar or any workspace. Use Follow-ups on Sent E-Mail Messages You're probably used to setting follow-up flags on e-mail messages in your Inbox. Until now, though, there wasn't much point setting follow-up flags on sent e-mail messages, because you rarely view your Sent Items folder. Yet it's often useful to set a follow-up flag on a sent e-mail message; for example, a sales e-mail message might warrant following up after a couple of days. It's now worth setting follow-up flags on sent e-mail messages, because they will appear on the To-Do Bar. To do this: 1. Click the Follow Up flag on the Message tab of the Ribbon when writing your message. 2. Click the follow-up flag you want to use, or set a reminder for the recipients of the e-mail message. You can customize the follow-up flag. When you set your flag, some basic options like Today and Tomorrow are instantly available, but if you click Custom, plenty more follow-up options appear. These include start and end times for the follow-up and required activities. All this information will appear on your To-Do Bar. • Tips and Tricks Web site • Microsoft Office Online • Help Privacy note: Microsoft respects your privacy and that of your friends.
