Note: this disables preview for all attachments. Add a check to the " Turn off attachment preview" option.
With this disabled you will lose the ability to view attachments in the Reading pane or open messages - you will need to double click to open them in their application. You can make many attachments readable if you disable Attachment Preview. Note: This does not work in Outlook 2016. The edited copy of the attachment will only be in the Sent Items folder when you use this method, not also on the original message. If you need to edit the attachment then forward the message, you can hit Forward first, then edit the attachment. If you don't want changes saved (such as when rotating images), close without saving. Remember: you need to save and close the attachment then save and close the email message for the edits to be saved. The next time you need to edit an attachment and save the changes back to the message, open the email message, click the Edit Message button then open the attachment. Find Edit Message and double click on it or use the Add button to add it to the QAT.(Can press E on the keyboard to jump down faster.) Click in the list of commands the scroll down to the E's to find the Edit commands.Select All Commands from the Choose command dropdown.Go to File, Options, then choose Quick Access Toolbar.To add the command to the QAT (or ribbon): If you add the Edit Message button to the QAT or Ribbon on a message (NOT the main Outlook window), its very easy to get into Edit mode. You need to remember to save the attachment when closing AND save changes to the email message as the copy in the securetemp folder will be deleted when you close Outlook. If you put the email message into Edit mode you can edit the attachment and save changes back to the original attachment on the email message. This simple feature saves time when working with lots of email attachments and eliminates duplicate copies on the hard drive.įortunately, there are solutions to this problem which add just a step or two to the process. Users familiar with this feature don't want to use Save as, they want it to work like it did before, with the changes to the attachment saving back to the message. While users who knew how this feature worked were able to use it to their advantage, many more people lost data because they didn't understand what happened to the document they "just spent all day editing" after they saved and closed it.įor it to work correctly, you had to work in a specific order and users often did Step 5 before Step 4 and saved the file to the hidden temp folder. Many users didn't understand how this feature worked or what happened to attachments when they were opened. I suspect most of the data loss came from user error, not Outlook reliability. (2) If you are using Outlook 2007 or earlier versions, please click Tools > Options, and then in the Options dialog box click E-mail Options button > check Mark my comments with: option and type preface text in the following box.This "feature" (or design flaw, according to some administrators) was removed because of "reliability issues and data loss problems" with replacing an attachment received from someone with a version that you edited. (1) If original email message is plain text, the inline comments (tracking changes) will only be marked with your specified preface text, but not be formatted with special font color. When you are replying, any content (comments) you typed in the original email messages will be formatted with a distinguishing font color, and marked with your specified preface text. Up to now, you have turned on the Inline Comment feature. Step 4: Click the OK button to exit the dialog box. Step 3: Go to the Replies and forwards section, and check the Preface comments with: option, and then enter some preface text in the following box. Step 2: In the Outlook Options dialog box, click the Mail in the left bar. No matter anywhere you type your comments in the original email messages when replying, the following steps will make your comments strike the recipients' eyes easily.
