Changing Outlook’s Navigation Pane

That column full of buttons (officially known as the Navigation Pane) on the left side of the Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2010 window makes it easy to jump around among Mail, Contacts, Calendar and the other parts of the program. You are not stuck with the default version of the Navigation Pane, though, and if you like to put the buttons in your own preferred order, you can customize it.

To change the order, go to the bottom of the Navigation Pane, click the small black triangle and choose Navigation Pane Options from the menu. In the list for “Display buttons in this order,” click the button you want to move, and click Move Up or Move Down to reposition it accordingly. You can tweak things further, by adding or removing buttons, changing the Navigation Pane’s font, or resizing the pane itself. Microsoft has full instructions on their website.
