| Tech Tip: Find Outlook® Email Conversations | ||||
 |
We've
all done it: emailed back and forth with someone over several
days, and then lost track of the one email in the sequence that we
really needed. Here's help: You can organize your Outlook® emails by conversation (also called "message thread"). Click on the folder that contains your messages. Then, click on the View menu at the top of the screen, then Arrange By, and select Conversation. Your folder will rearrange itself into heading titles that are composed of the subject line, and, in brackets, the number of emails that make up the conversation. Under each heading are all the emails that are part of the conversation. To go back to the default view when you're done, click on the Received header bar at the top of the folder window.  |

| Article: All About VoIP | ||||
 |
Yikes, another acronym! You might like this one, though, because it can save you money – a lot of money, in fact. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and it lets you use your internet connection instead of your phone to call people. That means free access anywhere in the world – no more long distance charges! Read the entire article |

Route 40 Soup Company,
146 Main St. NW, Turner Valley, AB - (403) 933-7676 Natalie Stratton of Inside Leadership says, "If you're headed down south, stop at the Route 40 Soup Company, in an old house in Turner Valley. The wraps and soups are handmade and delicious, and be sure to try the “road chips” – 3 kinds of potatoes, deep fried and seasoned, served with a dip. But it gets better. On Friday and Saturday nights, the owners kick it up a notch by serving gourmet meals. Don’t miss it!
