Enabling / Disabling Bcc field in Microsoft Outlook
Jan 18, 2010 Technology, Work
The use of the Bcc field in email is something that more people should use. Over the summer I had purchased a new home and gave my realtor my email address to email me new listings. A few months later her husband (her partner in the real estate firm) sent out some mass emails and placed everybody’s email address in the To field. The problem with this is that I along with every other one of her clients now have the email addresses of all of her clients, some of which I recognized. To prevent this you can use the Bcc field which will hide all of the recipients. Enabling this field in Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007 is rather easy.
Outlook 2003
Step 1 is open Outlook and create a new email. Once in the new email you will need to find the Options button that is located on the main toolbar. Click on the small down arrow just to the right of the word Options.
Step 2 is to click on the Bcc option which is 2nd from the bottom.
You will now see the Bcc address line just above the Subject field.
Outlook 2007
Step 1 is to open Outlook and create a new email. Once in the new email you will see the ribbon at the top. You will need to click the Options tab.
Step 2 is to click on the Show Bcc button in the Fields section of the Options ribbon.
The Show Bcc field will now be highlighted and the Bcc field will be placed just above the Subject field.
That is how easy it is to show the Bcc field in your new emails so you can hide the email addresses of the recipients of your email.
How To: Replace BlackBerry Screen Glass Protector
Dec 14, 2009 Cell Phones, Technology, Work
At my work we have many BlackBerry Curve 8330 phones. It is amazing what nurses and home health aids can do to their phones due to every day usage. One particular employee had fallen on her phone and scratched the screen and keyboard up really good. As a result of that unfortunate event I got the lucky job of replacing the clear plastic cover that protects the screen. Below I will outline what was done.
Tools:
- T5 Torques screwdriver
- Plastic pry tool – for opening the the case without leaving marks
- Knife
- Scissors

How To: Fixing an electric Swingline stapler cheaply
Nov 25, 2009 Work
At my job there are only 2 IT people. We get requests to fix just about anything that is an electronic device. Sometimes we can fix things and sometimes it is just a little out of our ability. We have several employees with electric Swingline staplers on their desks and several of them have broken over time. The usual cause is the staple tray release button. Below I will outline what I did to quickly fix 2 of these staplers so they did not have to order new. Read the rest of this entry »
