Boss rule in Outlook

“

- [Instructor] How to automatically change the color and size of emails from certain people, like your boss, for example. First off, go to the View menu up here and then click on View Settings. Then I'm going to go down and click Conditional Formatting. Now, Outlook already has a bunch of these pre-set up, but I'm going to click the Add button, and we're going to add the Boss rule. Then I click Condition. And I'm going to say From. So this is where add my boss's name. My boss is Ella Taylor, and I will select her, and hit From, and hit OK. Any mail from Ella, I'm going to flag as red. Hit OK. Now, I choose the font. And we're going to make this font red. So any mail from my boss is red. And I can make the actual text much bigger. Hit Size, Bigger, hit OK. And now hit OK. And then OK the View Setting's dialogue, and watch what happens. Now any mail that is from Ella, you can see the font is really big and it's red.
