Open outlook and press alt V to get to the view menu. Arrow to the arrange by submenu. From this menu, arrow to custom and press inter.
Now you are in a series of buttons. You can switch from one to another by pressing your tab key. You should have landed on the fields button, but if you didnt, tab to it and press the space bar. The first option you should land on is maximum number of lines in multi line mode. Mine is set to two. Now tab once and your nest option is selecting a field from a category, such as frequently used fields. Press down arrow until it says date/time fields. Tab once to the field choices in this category, and then down arrow to the sent field. Tab twice, or until it says add, and press the spacebar. Now we have the sent field added. Tab until it says, show fields in the following order. You can arrow up and down to see the fields, and if you tab once, you will see a move up button. Tab again to see the move down button. You can also use the shortcut keys, alt d to move down, and alt U to move up. Now that you have your fields in your preferred order, tab to ok and hit inter. Now tab to sort, and hit space. With your down arrow, find sent. Now tab to the ascending/descending option, and with your arrows, choose the one you want, if it isnt already selected. Tab again, and it will say, and then by. Heres where you can specify a secondary ordering criteria, but remember, sent will take priority. For now, lets just leave this alone. Tab to ok and hit inter. Now tab until you hear, Format Columns... Specify the display formats for each field. Press the spacebar. Now you are in a list of fields. This is where we can widen each field to make sure that we see the complete subject line or sent time/date. Select the field you want to modify by pressing the down arrow. Lets look at the subject line. Arrow to it and press tab. It should say, format edit combo, text. Now tab again, past label, and to a group of radio buttons that say either best fit, or specific width. Specific is what we want, so use your arrow to select it, if it isnt already selected. Tab once, and now you can adjust how many characters should appear in the subject field. If you dont like the number that is displayed, delete it and type in a new number. 40 to 45 characters should be plenty. Now tab, and youll land on a group of radio buttons for where the text should appear in the allotted field space. Left should be selected, and thats just fine, so tab again. Heres the ok button, but we still have changes to make, so keep tabbing until it says, available fields again. With your arrows, find sent. Press tab it will say, format, and then probably best fit. Use your arrow keys to select how you want the time to be displayed. Personally, I like the, Format: Sat 11/11/2006 3:04AM. Now that you have your format selected. tab twice, and with the arrows, select best fit or specific width. If you select specific width, when you tab again, you can then inter the number representing the character count for the sent field. I think that maybe choosing best fit might be easier here. Now tab to the buttons that tell outlook where to put the text. Left is probably selected, and this is fine. Now tab to ok and hit inter. Whew! Were done!
