Some people think in pictures. Some think in words. Sometimes a picture paints a thousand words. When you’re looking for a quick way to communicate an idea, instruction, or point, or just send a basic sketch map try the Draw feature in Outlook. It’s a great way to sketch your thoughts and enhance communication with visual aids, simplify complex ideas, speed up communications, and add a personal touch.
The Draw feature is available in both new Outlook and classic Outlook.
How to Use the Draw Feature in Outlook
