What is a quick step in microsoft outlook?
Quick Steps, new in Outlook 2010, is a feature that applies multiple actions at once to an email message. I like to think of Quick Steps as rules that I apply when I want to (rather than setting something up in Rules that is usually applied automatically).
An answer is that quick Steps in Outlook are kind of shortcuts that let you perform a certain sequence of actions with one click. For instance, if you frequently move or copy incoming messages to some folder for later review, a quick step can expedite the task.
Outlook includes a Quick Steps feature that lets you apply multiple actions to a message with one click. Outlook includes several default Quick Steps, but you also can create your own (and delete the default ones if you don’t need them). If you regularly perform the same set of actions, creating a Quick Step and assigning it a hotkey can save you a lot of time.
The section for Quick Steps resides on the Home Ribbon and already contains a few default steps. From here, you’ll want to create steps based on your needs. To do this, click the icon for Create New in the Quick Steps section (Figure A).
Outlook only displays Quick Steps that are available. If you haven’t got a message selected, for example, then only the “Team Email” Quick Step is shown because the other defaults work on an existing message. To add a new Quick Step, click the “Create New” option in the Quick Steps box.

With Quick Steps, you can create steps that incorporate one or more actions to automatically deal with a specific message.
