I’ve go several appointments, meetings and tasks for which I’ve set a reminder well in advance to keep it on my mind. I then progressively snooze it until its due date and time.
Sometimes, I wonder whether I’ve snoozed it correctly and haven’t accidentally set it to snooze 5 minutes before start or even dismissed it.
Is there any way to find out when Outlook will display the next reminder for any given appointment, meeting or task?
When I'm offline, I can still read my email thanks to Cached Exchange Mode. However, I don't have access to my Public Folders anymore.
Is there some way I can cache these as well?
When trying to launch the Office Assistant via the Help menu, I get the following error;
"The Office Assistant requires Microsoft Agent 2.0 or later. This product is available on the Office System Pack."
I've done a full install of Office 2003 and looked on the CD but I cannot find anything there.
How can I enable the Office Assistant again?
For the past year, I’ve been archiving to a pst-file which I called “archive-2018.pst” which is also located in a “2018” folder of my Documents folder. I’ve now finished archiving everything of 2018 and want to start my 2019 archive.
How can I create a new archive and configure Outlook to archive to the “archive-2019.pst” file in the future?
In Facebook, you get notified when someone has his or her Birthday (to write something on his/her timeline).
Is there a way that I can import these Birthdays in my own Calendar in Outlook?
When writing a message Outlook is no longer putting those red squiggly lines under misspelled words.
In Options, I’ve verified that the options “Check spelling as you type” and “Mark grammar errors as you type” are enabled but it is still not working.
It still works correctly in Word and Word and Outlook are the same version as well.
How can I enable spellcheck for Outlook again?
I've sent out a meeting invitation but not everybody has responded yet.
Is there any way to send them a reminder to respond?
Preferably they should be able to directly respond from that message as they might have "misplaced" their original invitation.
In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, there is a Contacts folder in your user directory. When using Windows Vista, I used Windows Mail and the contacts that I created were stored in that Contacts folder. Now I'm on Windows 7 (and soon on Windows 8) and I want to use Outlook.
How do I get these contacts from the Contacts folder of Windows into the Contacts folder of Outlook?
In my emails, I often need to refer to documentation and products on the Internet for which I also supply the URL within the message.
For readability, I turn these words into clickable hyperlinks.
Unfortunately, this is quite a bit of work and the documentation and product links are the same ones I use over and over.
Would it be possible to automatically turn these key words into hyperlinks pointing to the correct URL?
I have multiple accounts configured and they are all showing New Mail Desktop Alerts when new email comes in.
As one account mainly receives newsletters and spam, I’d like to turn off these alerts for this specific account.
How can I configure which account should display New Mail Desktop Alerts?
