[gui-talk] enabling bcc in outlook 2003

[Curtis Chong]

Chuck:

Yes, indeed, your explanation was definitely far more thorough than mine.
As a practical matter, I prefer not to use Word as the editor when using
Outlook because, at least in the past, the behavior with JAWS was somewhat
problematic.  I am guessing that some of this has improved of late<grin>.

Anyway, thanks for the very clear and thorough explanation.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi Curtis, long time!

Actually, BCC field may or may not be shown for all users. By default, it's
hidden until the user chooses to show it.

However, how you enable depends on whether on a few things.  First, we're
talking about Microsoft Outlook, and not Outlook Express.  The next
condition is whether or not Microsoft Word is used as the message editor
(the default).

If Word is being used as editor, there will be an "Options..." button on the
toolbar.  This a split button, with a little down arrow to the right.
Pressing the button will bring up the Message Options dialog.  This does not
have the BCC option.  Instead, you have to click on the little down arrow of
the split button.  That'll drop down a menu and one of the items will be
"Show BCC".

Now, in order to use the BCC field, you don't have show the field.  You can
use either the "To..." or "Cc..." button to bring up the Select Names
dialog.  That dialog allows you to pick an Address Book, choose names from a
list and has To, CC and BCC fields.  This is very convenient if you just
need to use BCC occasionally.

Greetings:

Simply open a new message and then go to the View menu.  You will find a
line item that says "BCC".  Press Enter on it, and you will have the BCC
field.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

I've recently been forced to switch to Outlook because Eudora suffered some
inexplicable crash and won't run any more.  That's ok, but I can't seem to
enable the bcc field in Outlook.  When I'm creating a message, there's no
toolbar button for bcc, nor is there a view menu item for it, nor an option
I can find anywhere n the various options pages.  What to do?
