Tech Tip Tuesday for October 27, 2015
Google Research Tool
Gmail and Calendar
- Is there spell check in Gmail? Yes, when composing an email, look for the drop down arrow next to the trash can at the bottom of the email box. Click on the drop down arrow and select Spell Check.
- Why am I overlooking emails? Your settings may be set to conversation view. To turn off, simply go to the gear, select settings, scroll down to conversation view, and select off. Next, scroll down to save changes.
- How can I change the view to look more like Outlook? Start at the gear, select settings, select labs, scroll down to Preview Pane, select enable. Next, scroll down to save changes.
