When trying to import an Excel sheet with contacts into Outlook I get the error;
"An error has occurred in the Microsoft Excel translator while getting the contents of a file system.
The Microsoft Excel file <filename> has no named ranges. Use Microsoft Excel to name the range of the data you want to import."
How do I do that?
I’m a big fan of many applications offering a Dark Mode and I’ve also switched my Office theme to Black.
This works well but the Reading Pane in Outlook remains white and creates a very bright contrast with the Black theme.
I read that there should be a Sun/Moon option somewhere to toggle the Reading Pane dark too but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
How do I turn the Reading Pane dark as well with the Black Theme enabled in Outlook?
After my mailbox got upgraded to an Exchange 2013 server, I now have the new Outlook Web App 2013 layout as well for reading my emails in a browser. However, I’m now missing my Search Folders.
I’ve already tried to recreate and re-upload them via Outlook as I also had to do for OWA 2010 but my Search Folders are still not visible in OWA 2013.
How do I get access to my Search Folders again in OWA 2013?
I personally use Skype as my default IM client and that also integrated with Outlook at home. At work, we use Skype for Business and there Outlook integrates with Skype for Business.
I recently upgraded my home computer to Office 2016 via our company’s Office 365 licensing and now Skype no longer integrates with Outlook 2016. When I log on with Skype for Business at home, I found out that it now integrates with Outlook instead.
Do I need the Home or Personal edition of Office 2016 for integration with Skype or can I somehow set which IM client should integrate with Outlook?
I'm looking for a way to delete a mail from the web mail client when I delete the message in Outlook. This mainly applies to Junk Email.
It's because I don't want to have a messy mailbox when I have to use the web mail client. Right now, when I delete an email in Outlook, the original one still remains in my inbox on the web server, so after a couple of months I have a real mess in my inbox.
Is there any way to also delete these messages from the server from within Outlook?
Since I'm using Outlook 2010, I see a lot of GUID references in my Internet Explorer History which makes it hard to use.
For instance;
{6BE240C7-DFC2-4366-8871-08A412F896EB}
When I click on it, I get one of the following;
Where exactly is this coming from and how can I make it stop poluting my IE History?
I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows 7 and when inserting a picture or file from or when saving a message to a Library, the Library shows up empty.
Is there a fix for this?
Instant Search doesn't display any results at all, only displays results before a certain date or always shows that there are items left to index. I let it index overnight but nothing has changed.
How can I get it to completely index my messages?
Is there any way to search a PST when the index are not complete?
I have recently migrated to a new computer and the indexing is still crawling gently trough my 1.5Gb PST. However I still need to search!
Is there a way to perform an old fashioned, slow but effective search?
