When you reply to an e-mail, Outlook stores a copy of that message in the Sent folder. If you’re like me, your Sent folder has thousands of messages. If you need to find a specific message later, you must sort through all those messages, and that takes time.
Instead, you might your replies with the original message. For instance, suppose you automatically route all your messages from your boss into a folder named, appropriately enough, MyBoss. If you want Outlook to store your replies in MyBoss with the original messages, do the following:
- From the Tools menu, choose Options.
- On the Preferences tab (which should be selected by default), click E-mail Options in the E-mail section (Figure A).
Figure A
-
Click Advanced E-mail Options at the bottom of the Message Handling section (Figure B).
Figure B
-
In the Save Messages section, select the In Folders Other Than The Inbox, Save Replies With Original Message check box (Figure C) and then click OK three times to return to Outlook.
Figure C
Outlook will apply this setting to all of your personal folders. Just remember that Outlook saves replies with the original message and not in the Sent folder only when the original message is in a folder other than the Inbox. Outlook continues to save all replies sent from messages in the Inbox in the Sent folder

Everyone knows that Word automatically inserts new pages as you insert text and graphics. You don’t need to do a thing but add the content. However, you can manipulate where a page breaks yourself, if you want to. Simply choose Break from the Insert menu and click OK. Page Break is the default setting.
For the most part, you should avoid inserting page breaks and let Word take care of them for you. Manual page breaks quickly become a nuisance. As you update your document by inserting or deleting content you usually have to fix the manual page breaks.
However, there are times when you might want to force a page break before a specific paragraph. By associating the break with the paragraph, you can insert and delete all you like. To force a page break before a specific paragraph do the following:
- Click inside the paragraph in question.
- Choose Paragraph from the Format menu.
- Click the Line and Page Breaks tab.
- Select the Page Break Before option, and click OK.
In Word 2007, open the Paragraph dialog box by clicking the dropdown generic propecia arrow at the bottom-right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home ribbon.
Now you can add and delete content before the paragraph or even move the paragraph and Word will still force a page break before that paragraph.
