MS Outlook:

How to add the email address of a sender to your Contacts quickly?
Try this…
"Drag the email from the INBOX and drop it on the CONTACTS icon shown in the Outlook Bar or Navigation Bar."
The email of the sender will automatically be added onto a New Contact form. The contents of the email also get added to the memo area on the right side of the form. If your contact's email has their signature at the bottom, you can control copy the signature data to Job Title, Company, Address, Phone and other fields.

MS Word XP:

How to add a blue background to your on screen document?
Some users find the white page of a word document too bright or glaring on the screen. You can have your document page in blue colour with white text, if you like.

Try this…
"On the Menu Bar, click on Tools>Options and click on the General Tab. Check the box that says- Blue background, White text." The blue colour is for viewing only. It does not print blue on your printer.

MS PowerPoint XP

How to format the Title & Body Text of all slides in your presentation in one go?
There are times when you want to change the Font type, size, colour and other formatting attributes of all slide Titles or Body Text in your presentation. There is no need to do it slide by slide, since it could consume lots of time.

Try this…
On the menu bar, click on View>>Master>>Slide Master. On the left hand side, make sure to select the stamp size picture of the appropriate Slide Master. Make the desired changes to the Title or Body Text boxes on the right hand side. Switch over to the Normal view to verify changes in all the slides following this Master. Note: if you accidentally move a text box in the Slide Master, then it will move in all the slides.
