I got inspired by your last tip about displaying the days left before a task needs completion and tried to tweak it to create a countdown to a contactβs next birthday and also to create a column which displays the current age of that contact.
However, I canβt seem to come up with the correct formula.
Is it possible to create these columns for my contact list and if so, could you post the correct formula to use?
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?
Using Outlook 2010, when I CTRL+P to print my emails, I then get the option Table Style or Memo Style. I am used to pressing CTRL+P and Enter to print. Under this new way, I then need to tab or click the Print button.
Is there any quick way to automatically default to printing in Memo Style?
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?
I've noticed that my ost-file for my Exchange account is much (much!) larger than my own mailbox.
Aside from my own mailbox, I also have the mailbox of my manager and a colleague added to Outlook as I am a delegate for them. It appears that Outlook fully caches these mailboxes which both include a lot of large emails.
Is there any way I can configure Outlook to only cache the Calendar and Contacts folder?
I receive new mail alerts just fine for my main Exchange account, but I do not receive any alerts for when a mail arrives in any of the Inboxes of my additional mailboxes.
Iβm an owner of some of these mailboxes and a delegate for others but need to take action on the emails that arrive in any of them.
Is there any way I can also get a new mail alert for these mailboxes?
On occasion I save an attachment to a folder which I then decide to move to a better location. However, I then get the error that the folder is in use.
A similar thing happens when I save an attachment or message to a USB-drive; I cannot eject the drive and get the error that the device is currently in use. I then need to close Outlook for it to release the lock.
Is there any way to prevent Outlook for creating such a lock or to release it without restarting Outlook?
I usually open two or more Outlook windows/messages to do my work more efficiently. In Windows XP and Vista I could select multiple Outlook windows with the CTRL button on my keyboard and then use the right click menu to organize the windows. Or, in case it was grouped automatically, simply right click on the group.
How can I do this in Windows 7? The only right click option I get regarding this is "Close all windows".
I've been using the the "Ignore" button on some conversations hoping to get rid of some "noise" in my Inbox and created a "Move Conversation" rule on some other messages. However, some conversations went back to an interesting topic again and I want to start receiving them in my Inbox again.
I've looked at my list of rules, but I cannot find any rule in my list of rules which is responsible for moving/deleting this conversation.
How can I stop ignoring/moving a single conversations or stop ignoring any conversation?
