Outlook 2007 Question

[artmerar]

Hi,

I am running Outlook 2007 and have a couple of questions. First, when
you enter a folder it places you on the first item and it is
automatically opened and read. This is not what I want if it is my
junk folder. I'd rather enter the folder with the date group header
highlighted. Then I can just delete all the junk messages if I need
to without opening any of them. Is this possible??

Next, in Outlook 2003 you could use Ctrl-Insert to copy contents. You
can do that almost anywhere in Windows. They seem to have removed
that from Outlook 2007......is this correct???

Thank you!

1. No it does not "places you on the first item and it is automatically
opened and read". It marks as read and you see it in the Preview Pane. It
does not open the item.

If you want to change the setting for the Reading Pane, it's at Tools |
Options | Other | Reading Pane.

2. Yes I think it's gone now as I recall other people posting that question.

So, when in your Junk E-mail folder, click View>Reading Pane>Off

Thanks everyone! Although removing the CTRL-Insert removal was a DUMB
thing to do........
