Add Words to Custom Dictionary that stop Spell Check (Office 2010/2007/2003)
If you frequently use acronyms, type unique names, or have industry specific terms that are not recognized in Spell Check, you may want to add these words to your custom dictionary. This will save time in your day, especially when sending e-mails. Outlook should be set to Spell Check all e-mails before sending. Adding words to the dictionary will speed up the sending process. This will work in all Office 2010, Office 2007, and Office 2003. This includes Outlook 2010, Outloook 2007, and Outlook 2003. |

Save Un-sent e-mails to Inbox instead of 'Drafts' (Outlook 2003 & Outlook 2007)
You can change where Outlook saves drafts of your unsent e-mail messages. By default Outlook will save the messages in the ‘Drafts’ folder. For me its “out of sight, out of mind”, and I frequently forget I have saved a draft of an e-mail message. It will help you to remember the unsent message if you save them to your Inbox. |

Stop Accidentally Moving Outlook Folders (Windows 7)
It is very easy to accidentally drag and drop items into a new location without realizing it (i.e. an e-mail folder in Outlook).

When ‘ClickLock’ is on, you have to click a second time to drop the item in its new location. ‘ClickLock’ settings are different in Windows XP and Windows 7, see the appropriate documentation and video for your operating system. |
