OL98: Preview Pane Is Active on a Per Folder, Per View Basis

• Microsoft Outlook 98

SUMMARY

The Preview Pane function provided by Microsoft Outlook 98 allows you to divide your Outlook window into two separate panes. When you select an item, such as an e-mail message, in the upper pane, you can view its contents in the lower pane without actually opening the item.

The Outlook Setup program turns the Preview Pane feature on automatically for the Message view of the Inbox folder. If you wish to use the feature for other folders, you must enable it for each view within each folder. The Preview Pane, however, is not available in the Outbox.

MORE INFORMATION

To turn the Preview Pane feature on or off for the current folder and view, on the View menu, click Preview Pane.

The information displayed in the Preview Pane varies depending on the item type and folder view in use. For Message items it displays the message header information and the message text. For Note items, it displays the entire note. For most other items in their default view, it displays the information in the large message box found in the item.
