Let's create an email then. There's several ways of doing this in Outlook. The first thing we can do is just go to the new email button here and just click on new mail. Very straightforward. There's actually a shortcut to do that as well which is even quicker. We can just go Control N and then again we can start typing our email. Alternatively, what we can do, we can go via the ribbon. Now, as with every other Microsoft Office application you could always access things via the ribbon menu using the ribbon shortcuts. So I can go Alt H and then N to create new emails. So lots and lots of different ways of doing it. Now there's another one that I think is actually even better. Let's imagine, I've got a document. There's my document. Let's imagine I've got a document and I wanna copy the contents of that document, or elements of the contents of that document, into an email, okay? Rather than creating the email and then copy and pasting, look what I can do, I'm just gonna grab this text here, oops, Control C, I'm gonna go back to Outlook, and I'm just going to go Control V and boom straight away it creates a brand new email from me and paste the text in there as well. So that is absolutely fantastic. So just remember that guys, you can do it in one step. Just copy the text from whatever document it is that you've been working on, whichever extract you want, paste it directly into Outlook and it will automatically create a new email for you. So that's super useful. Now, you've obviously gotta decide who you're sending the email to and you must fill in one of these fields. You have to fill in the to field, the CC field or the BCC field. You can't leave those blank. You'll notice that there's some recent people in here. Be a bit careful with those. If you've sent an email to somebody recently then those email addresses will appear on the right as a shortcut. The great thing is you can just click on them and it will automatically send to that person, it pre-populates it for you and it saves you typing it out again and again and again. But if it sensitive information, I really would strongly recommend that you check very carefully who you're sending it to. Anyway, I'm gonna send myself this email, so colin.doolingfe@gmail.com and I'm going to say my subject's going to be Hello World, 'cause it's my first email to myself and then I'm just gonna hit send. So I've got the big send button there or I can use Alt S as the keyboard shortcut as well.
