I am using Outlook 2010, and in the compose e-mail view (after you click "New E-mail" and the MS Word-like screen comes up with To, cc, bcc, etc.) the ribbon tabs are different here than word, so I can't do everything I would like to do.



The Outlook tabs are currently ->

"File"
"Message"
"Insert"
"Options"
"Format Text"
"Review"

Whereas the Word tabs are ->

"File"
"Home"
"Insert"
"Page Layout"
"References"
"Mailings"
"Review"
"View"

I want to be able to add tabs that aren't currently on my Outlook ribbon, like View and Page Layout. One reason is so I can add columns to the e-mail, but there are many uses for these tabs while composing an e-mail in outlook.

Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried things, as well as searched for an answer, but I've come up empty.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Go to (in Outlook) File...Options...Customize the Ribbon. Those are the available options for you.
