Pinning email messages in Outlook Online on Office 365
We’re doing a lot of pilot testing on various parts of Office 365, and a colleague pointed out something yesterday that I hadn’t noticed. You can pin an email in Outlook Online so that it stays at the top of your Inbox and doesn’t get buried. Here’s how you do that…
Updating your Skype presence based on what you’re actually doing
Sandra shared a cool tip with me today. You know how when you have a meeting on your Outlook calendar and it ends early, your Skype presence indicator shows that you’re still in the meeting until it actually ends on the calendar? There’s a setting in Skype that allows the presence indicator to actually show based on what you’re doing, not just on what your calendar *says* you’re scheduled to be doing. Here’s how you set and/or change it…
Running a PowerPoint presentation in Kiosk Mode
Let’s say you’re running a booth at a conference, and you’d like a PowerPoint slide show to run continuously and automatically. Or… perhaps you’re giving a presentation, and you want a “pre-show” slide deck to run continuously while everyone is coming in and finding their seats.

If you’re using OneNote to store information, OneNote makes it easy to find everything you changed and where exactly it was updated using the Recent Edits feature. Here’s how that works…
What in the world is an “Interrobang”?
Today’s tip is a bit lighter in nature, as I learned something this week which I had never even heard, much less knew about. Have you ever written an email or a Skype message that was something along the lines of “What do you think you are doing?!?!?!” That series of snarky question marks and exclamation points, when combined, are often referred to as interrobangs.
Using @mentions in your Outlook email
One of the new features when using Outlook is that you can @mention someone’s name in the body of the email, and it will automagically put that name into the To field of the email so you don’t forget to send it to them. Here’s how that works…
Setting the Print Area on an Excel spreadsheet
Obviously, you can have a multitude of rows and columns in an Excel spreadsheet spread out over numerous worksheets. However, if you want to print out just part of the information, you may think you have to print out everything just to get the part you want. In reality, you can set the Print Area of your spreadsheet to only print out the area that you need, saving paper and time in the process. Here’s how you do that…
