[h=4]To Set an Automatic Reply:
If you won't be able to answer your messages for several days, it's easy to set an
automatic reply (also known as a
vacation reply), which
will
automatically reply to any messages you receive. A vacation reply typically includes the
date you plan to return and
contact information while you're unavailable.
Click the
File tab on the
Ribbon.
Backstage view will appear. Locate and select
Automatic Replies.
The
Automatic Replies dialog box will appear. From here, you can choose several options for your reply, including a
time range, rules, and more.
Include a message for the reply, then click
OK.
Your reply will be
automatically sent to any messages you receive.
To
turn off automatic replies, navigate to
Backstage view and then select
Turn off.
You will not be able to use this feature without a
Microsoft Exchange Account, which is typically only used
in the workplace.
