In this YouTube Shorts tutorial, Randy Dean addresses a frequent user question about Microsoft Outlook’s navigation bar—how to display descriptive words (Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks, Notes) instead of just icons. He walks viewers through the exact UI steps: click the three‑dot "more" button, select "Navigation Options," toggle the "Compact Navigation" setting on or off, and confirm with OK. Turning Compact Navigation on hides the words, showing only icons; turning it off restores the words. Randy also briefly comments on wishing Microsoft would rename the three‑dot button, and ends with a call to subscribe for more quick tips.
