Outlook 2013 RT for Windows RT and Surface RT

News

If you have a Windows RT tablet such as the Surface RT or are holding off from buying one because it doesn’t come with Outlook… Great news! The upcoming Windows 8.1 Update for Windows RT will also include Outlook 2013 RT.

Currently, Windows RT already ships with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote but the request to include Outlook was strong enough to get it included in the package now as well.

The Office RT family of applications are exclusive to Windows RT devices (tablets). This version is visually the same when compared with the regular Office 2013 applications but is optimized for the ARM processor, has Touch Mode enabled by default and contains various other battery life increasing and disk space usage reducing changes.

Display the member count of a Contact Group

Count Contact Group Members buttonIn Outlook, there is no direct way to find out how many members have been added to a Contact Group (sometimes also known as Distribution Lists).

Apparently, the Outlook Team doesn’t like to count things as Outlook also can’t display the amount of selected items.
