Knowing some common keyboard shortcuts when working in Outlook 2016 for Mac can be a time saver. When Microsoft introduced Outlook 2011 for Mac, many of the commands you were accustomed to in Entourage 2008 changed. The latest version, Outlook 2016, remains familiar if you upgraded from Outlook 2011. If you are coming from the Windows version of Outlook, you’ll feel more at home. Many interface elements work the same, along with unique features for the Mac such as Full Screen View and Split View support in El Capitan.

If you like to use the keyboard shortcuts to save time and be more productive, make sure to bookmark this page so you can always come back if you forget a shortcut or want to learn a new one.
