    Hello all...

    I've set up my Outlook 2010, to show a smiley face when I type (for instance) this -- :-)

    But I'm wondering, how can I add an image, a jpg for example to a set of chars...i.e. if I type say uuuu - I'd like it to show a certain full color smiley face that I have and I can't find a way to "add" the path to same in the Replace field in AutoCorrect...

    Can this be done? and if so, how?

    Hi

    If you want to use AutoCorrect to put the picture in automatically as you type, then:

    • Create a new message and insert the picture as you want it.
    • Then select the image and paragraph in which you inserted it.
    • Now click File > Options > Editor Options button.
    • Then click Proofing > AutoCorrect Options.
    • In the Replace box type the text you want to type to insert the current selection (your picture).
    • Click OK until back in the message.

    Now type your text, defined above, and press the Spacebar.  The picture should now appear replaceing the text.

    Good luck

    Hi,

    You may use Quick Part.

    In a new message, insert a picuture. Click Quick Part under the Insert tab, and add it to Quick Part.

    Best Regards,
