Change the Form of Information

Suppose you have information in an e-mail message that you need to use to set up a meeting, or need to add to your task list. In Outlook, you can easily change the format of information by moving it to another folder. You can do this with any information you want to convert.

For example, suppose you receive an e-mail message asking you to review an attached conference paper. You want to add this job to your task list. Simply drag the message to the Tasks folder, and Outlook does the rest.

Attach a document to an e-mail message   Just drag the document to the Inbox folder. Outlook creates a new e-mail message with the document as an attachment.
