I've finally made a blog post to express my personal frustration http://www.MyEphemerae.com -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James S. Huggins (mso) Sent: Friday, December 28, 2012 3:55 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Sort of an answer ... RE: saving and reusing a View Given that I asked on this forum, I thought I'd share some of what I found: Microsoft Outlook doesn't offer an easy method to backup or share custom views, and exporting the contents to a new pst does NOT include the views or custom forms. [which helps me to NOT feel totally insane that I couldn't make it work] That said, I did find this article with a "work around" that I am most grateful for. (A way to go from northern California to southern California by way of Australia with a layover in Finland.) http://bit.ly/YqMyBy So, now I'll try to make it work and then I'll set off on my next quest, finding how to save the configuration of a navigation pane window, specifically the favorite folders part. -----Original Message----- Asking again, only shorter Outlook has the ability to define a view, How to display a message (e.g., if the message has this particular whatever then display it this particular way) You get there with View - Current View - Customize Current View - Automatic Formatting. My question: I want to save my current view in order to apply it to a totally new/separate PST file. How do I do that? James S.
