By default, whenever I create a hyperlink, Outlook turns the text color into blue and underlines it.
This is of course very recognizable but also not very modern as most web designs no longer underline hyperlinks. I’m also simply a bit bored with the blue.
Is there any way I can remove this default underline and change the color into for instance our company's color (green)?
I'm using a Hotmail account and noticed that any tasks that I create in Outlook are not synced to the server. This means that my tasks also won't sync to my mobile phone nor my other computer.
I only have quite simple tasks, usually only consisting out of a subject and a reminder and sometimes a category.
Is there any way I can make my Tasks sync with Hotmail as well?
Another responds on the original blue line post and its follow up led to the following question;
We're copying parts of original emails and other sources to construct a new email in which we comment on these quotes. We tend to use this to summarize earlier communications and/or to relay it to somebody else.
Upon copying these parts, the blue line goes away which makes the quoted parts hard to recognize.
Is there some way to maintain this blue line formatting?
I've collected some emails in a separate folder together with some contact information in a subfolder. I now need to transfer this information to somebody else.
Is it possible to send an entire Outlook folder and possibly the subfolders as well at once?
When adding an AutoCorrect entry, I noticed that there is an option for "Plain text" and "Formatted text". However, this option is greyed out and defaults to "Plain text".
How can I enable this option is order to store AutoCorrect entries with formatting?
I've created a distribution list to send out a mailing and to hide the addresses from each other. However, when the message got delivered, it still showed all the email addresses.
Other newsletters I receive also use a distribution list and then the addresses are not exposed.
How can I make Outlook not to expose these addresses either?
When starting Outlook, every time I need to go through some installation process before it actually opens. Sometimes this also happens when I open a message or do something else.
Why is Outlook doing this and how can I make it go away?
When I try to add multiple attachments to my email I get the following message;
“You are attempting to attach too many files at once. Try reducing the number of files being attached.”
The total size of my attachments is well below the sending limit and I’m not aware of any limit to the amount of attachments that I may send out.
Why am I still getting this error upon attaching files?
I’m getting some weird graphics anomalies with my screen when using Outlook.
For instance, the screen suddenly turns completely black or white, and when I move over those spaces with my mouse, the Outlook UI starts to appear again but only in those places.
At other times, text in the Ribbon and Folder Pane overlap or folders appear empty even when they are not.
Restarting Outlook fixes it temporarily but I’d like to fix it permanently.
I was recommended to “disable hardware graphics acceleration” but I can’t find that option anywhere.
How do I solve this issue?
On occasion, I receive emails which are sent to multiple people. To keep the conversation intact, I use the Reply All button to respond. Only afterwards, I realized that I was only a BCC recipient in the original message and thus I now revealed myself to the rest, which the original sender obviously did not want.
As this can be quite embarrassing, not only to me but also to the original sender, is there any way that Outlook can warn me that I was only a BCC recipient for the email?
