The Office for Mac Team is on a roll, ringing in the New Year with new features for the 2016 revision launched in mid-2015. One of the neat new features is Full-Screen View support in Outlook 2016 for Mac. It’s a native feature of OS X, but some programs have taken a bit of time to catch up.

Full screen is more than just an immersive experience. When you open a message background distractions are removed placing a clear focus on the content. When you want to exit focus view, just click outside the message window, to return to the main Outlook screen.

You can also multi-task, when in full-screen view. To display more than one message at a time, open a message, then minimize it. Open another message, and then click the message tab for the message you had previously minimized.

Outlook 2016 will automatically split the screen between both messages.
