In this lesson, we will review how to insert quick tables and outlook messages. Quick tables are pre-created tables saved into one of the building block galleries. Quick tables give you the ability to access tables that you've used previously or used frequently within any email message that you send. When you are creating a new email message where you have created a table and you plan to use that table for future emails, you can save that table using the quick tables option. Once it's saved, you have the ability to insert the table in future email messages. To begin, you'll open Outlook and while you are in the process of creating an email message to send that you've inserted a table within the body of the message, you can save that table using the quick tables option. Again, on the insert tab and the tables group, you'll click on the tables button. You should see the quick tables option here as the last option in the dropdown list. Here is where you would select and save the table. Before you select quick tables, you would also need to make sure that you have the table that you plan to save selected. So within the body of this email message we've created a table that we're getting ready to include in this email, but we want to save it for future use. So we will select it and you can select the table by clicking on select option here in the left corner of the table. Once it's selected, again, you go to the insert tab, click on the tables button and you'll select the quick tables option. At the bottom, you're going to select the option save selection to Quick Tables gallery. In the Create New Building Box dialogue box, you'll give the table a name. You can identify which gallery to save it in. You can add a description. Once you've done those items, you'll click OK to save. Now, you would finish this email as normal, send it. But when you plan to send emails in the future, you should now be able to access that table that you've saved. So to review that, we'll go to a new email message. Put our insertion point in the body of the email message. Go to the insert tab on the ribbon, click the table's button again. And when we go to Quick Tables, we should now see the table that we've saved in the list of general tables that are available. To insert it, just click on it with your mouse and now it's inserted in the body of your email message. You can continue to compose your message and then send the same table that you've used before by saving it in Quick Tables. Hopefully this tool can help you enhance your email communication, be able to save, and use tables for future use using Quick Tables options. Thank you for watching.
