You just received another email from a client asking for your company's Terms and Conditions. Instead of navigating through your files or searching your website to find the link, wouldn't it be more efficient to simply type a shorthand code like #+ T and have Outlook automatically insert the URL for you?

This is where the Autocorrect feature in Outlook can become a huge time-saver.

Why Use Autocorrect for URLs?

Efficiency: It saves time by eliminating the need to find and copy-paste URLs
Consistency: It ensures that everyone is using the same URL and reduces the risk of errors

How to Set It Up

Open Outlook and go to File | Options | Mail | Spelling and Autocorrect
Click Autocorrect Options and add your shorthand and URL link.
