Law Practice Management Tip
Outlook out of office assistance: Adding hyperlinks to your away message
Of course you want to put links in an automated response
message. If you're out of the office, you want to point those who
e-mail you to helpful resources, or to co-workers, who can assist
them while you're gone.
But, when you compose an out of office message using Outlook's Out of Office Assistant, there's no
hyperlink functionality. As an alternatirve, compose your automated
response message in another application that's capable of
supporting hyperlinks. Then paste that message, hyperlinks
included, into the Out of Office Assistant window.
Be sure to use Ctrl + V when pasting the message since there is no
right-click-paste function when using Outlook.
