  • Changing Zoom Level
    • On the 23rd of this month, I submitted the following request for help: "When I open mail using Office Outlook 2007, the type is often too small for me to read comfortably so I need to "zoom" it up. This works fine for the particular mail message I have opened but as soon as I open the next message, the screen reverts to its prior setting so It is necessary to zoom it up again. Is there a way to retain the zoom setting for all messages being opened? Many thanks," Am I addressing the wrong newsgroup here or is the matter more complicated than it appears? Thanks again: Gene L.

  • Converting Outlook trial into full version
    • Hi, I wanted to try Outlook. The only trial version I could find that included Outlook was Office Professional so I installed that. I have now bought Outlook from Amazon. When I entered the activation code into the current installation of Outlook it says code not valid. So I installed Outlook from the disk that came from Amazon, I entered the code & it said ok. But today I launched Outlook as usual & it says my free trial expires in 2 days !!! Help pls !! Thank you so much. David :-)

  • accept/decline not updating Exchange calendar
    • I use Outlook 2003 with Exchange. My settings delivers the mail to the Exchange Mailbox, but then I have a rule to move it to my local PST inbox. A problem started occurring recently where when I accept/decline a meeting from the PST inbox, it doesn't update the status on my Exchange calendar (the meeting is there, but the status didn't change). It only updates the status on the PST calendar. (I think if I accept/decline the meeting directly on the Exchange calendar, it works; it only fails when I accept/decline from PST inbox). What's strange is I've had this setup for years and it was working fine. I did have to change the Exchange server name a couple of months ago, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

  • could not create the work file
    • I am using Outlook 2007 and just the other day, I started getting the following error message: Outlook could not create the workfile. Check the temp environment variable I googled this error and found a couple of articles suggesting the fix is a registry entry: Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders Value name: Cache %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files I verified the key has the correct value. Does anyone have any other idea as to what is causing this error and how to fix it? Thanks.

  • Changed Outlook Behaviror--How to Change Back?
    • Somehow, I changed Outlook so that two things are not as they were: 1. The keystrokes for "Send," <Ctrl>-<Enter>, no longer work. Nothing happens (I suspect it was a change I made in Word to make it a little more like WordPerfect, but I dunno); and, 2. The keystrokes for "Macro Run," <Alt>-<F8," bring up something related to Help, instead of running a macro. Obviously, it's a newby mistake, and I'll take that. But does anyone know what I did, and how to reverse it? Thanks. Don.

  • Disappearing Tasks
    • Hi All, If there is anyone that can help me in solving this problem I will be eternally grateful. I recently purchased a laptop and was having problems when running my PST file on a network drive. Subsequently I am trying to synchronize the 2 copies between my desktop and lap top using All Sync software. Here is the problem, after copying the .PST file from my desktop to the Laptop all my tasks just "disappear". The odd part is that when I open outlook on the Laptop when it first goes to Outlook today the tasks are there. By the time the software loads though, they disappear right before my very eyes. I have tried manually copying the file, checked for filters that might be applied. Check private vs public status and can not seem to come up with an answer. The weirdest part as I mentioned is that I see that tasks as Outlook starts to load, and THEN they disappear. Anybody have any suggestions on things I could look at or what might possibly be the problem? Tom

  • How to import .dbx files to Outlook e-mail program
    • When the motherboard on my computer burned the repair people were able to save all files. They created a backup disc and I successfully installed everything on my new computer with one exception. They were able to save my "saved" e-mails from my former Outlook Express program. So I have a file from their disc titled "email Folders for import" which contains 13 folders. These are dbx folders and I need help importing these into my current e-mail program which is Outlook. My new computer has Windows 7. Can someone walk me through the procedure. I, as you have guessed, am not very computer-smart. Thank you.

  • Outlook 2003 unable to decode some attachments
    • I have an install of Outlook that is unable to decode attachments from two sources. Al that is displayed is the encoded text. The mail comes into our mail server and hits a mailing list from which it is distributed. In this case there are three recipients. Two of the recipients get the attachment one doesn't. In each case the Outlook settings appear identical. The attachment is a Word document. At this point I'm a bit lost as most options seem to be encoding on outgoing mail. I haven't approached the sender to check their settings and all but this one Outlook installation gets the mail correctly.

  • creating new Outlook profile
    • Two weeks ago I posted a message about getting recurrent requests for network password in Oulook 2007 (Windows XP SP3). I've been trying to do the new profile, but no luck. I found a duplicate personal folder and ascertained that it was receiving recent messages (tried to move my pst file to a different location). Before removing it, I moved the messages to the main inbox, and then moved the 2nd personal folder somewhere else (which Outlook shouldn't know about). Then I tried to create a new profile. But now I still have a 2nd Personal folder, and I am getting asked twice for passwords, and I've noticed that I have duplicate messages for those that were in the 2nd personal folder. I was unsure about the instruction to "configure the new profile to use the .pst file that was used by the damaged profile." At that point I have 2 accounts --the old one, and the new one the instructions said to create. Either one I chose ended up with 2 personal folders. It's a real mess. How on earth do I get out of this?

  • HTML Email to Lotus Notes - I can't read the replies
    • Here's the scenario... 1. I compose an HTML email in Outlook 2007 and send it to a client who's on Lotus Notes. 2. He replies to the email. If I look at his reply on my web-based email client (looking at it as it sits on the server), I see his response and my original email with header below it. If I look at his reply in Outlook 2007, I only see my original email to him. I do not see any reply, nor do I see my own original header. Please don't tell me that I have to use Plain Text for all of my emails - it really is limitiing. It was cool back in the 80's, but we should be past that now. Thanks.

  • Format in HTML-Emails destroyed
    • Hi all A client of mine uses an Exchange Server. Whenever I receive an Email message from one of the clients employees the Email arrives in my Email Client in text format. Any pictures included in the Emails are referred to something like this: [cid:image003.png@01CAAE5E.6D357820]. The link points to nowhere. This happens only if the sender is using Email in HTML format. When they use the RTF format the Email arrives nicely. Once my client deletes my Contact within the Exchange server and the users send me an HTML Email and enter my Email address manually, the Email arrives nicely too. With format HTML or RTF. I even changed my domain host since I thought that the problem would be at my providers side. Any of you guys have experienced something like that before and would be able to point something out to me? Thanks for any help Martin

  • How do I set up Outlook on a home network to view emails from lapt
    • I have recently bought and installed Office 2007, and one of the main things that I wish to be able to do with it is to have it installed throughout my Home Network (One Main PC, two external 1Tb Hardrives on the network, and access through a laptop too). My main wish for it is to be able to have the main PC with Outlook 2007 open, at all times, to collect any emails that may come in for me, yet still be able to access those emails, read them, but not have them directly downloaded to my laptop (and not have them mix in with the other emails already appearing on the main PC). Is there a way of setting up Outlook on my Home Network so that I can do this (have Outlook constantly running on the main PC, yet still be able to read those emails from the laptop when I need to)?

I ran Scanpst.exe and it detects errors but freezes up when the 'repair' button is clicked. No repairs result. I found the Scanpst.exe in Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12. I am running Office 2007 Operating Sytem is XP Service Pack 2 (maybe 3) Is there somewhere I can download a new scanpst.exe file? Or what do you suggest I do now? Thanks.

I have added their domain to the safe list but they are still going to junk. this probably started the other day when I got outlook 2003 going on my laptop so I could see my emails when I am away from home. I did lower the category for junk mail one item but that didn't help either. don't know what to do now. charlie

  • Can I sort/reorganize my mail folders (I have 3 accounts)
    • I have 3 mail folder accounts. Currently they are listed as follows in Mail Folders 1. Personal Folder (linked to att account) 2. Hotmail Account setup via Outlook Connector 3. Live account setup via Outlook Connector I would like the personal folder to be at the bottom of my list of mail folders, the live account to be at the top, and the hotmail in the middle. But when I try to move any of them, by drag/drop, nothing happens. It appears you cannot move them. Running Windows 7/Outlook 2007 I don't think I can remove the Personal Folder, but I just don't use the email account it is setup to so I would like it to open "unexpanded" when Outlook Opens. Any help would be greatly appreciated \

  • Attachments have lost descriptive text, which now appears embedded in
    • Thanks in advance, if anyone has a suggestion. Attachments downloaded from a list serve used to display fine (subject of the attachment). Something changed. Now attachments are displayed as a list or array, of incomprehensible attachment titles. Within the text of the email there IS a list of the attachments. I now have to find the correct attachment within the body of the email, count and see what number the attachment is (like #3 of 4 attachments) and then count along the list of attachments outside the message box and open that attachment number. What a pain! I tried right clicking > select all the attachments > View menu > and can't find a selection that solves the problem. Ideas? Strasser

  • Moving messages among folders- sometimes date changes
    • I am trying to move items from a PST inbox from an older POP email account to a newer IMAP account inbox in Outlook 2007. Sometimes when I move messages (by selecting 1 or more messages and dragging), they move just fine keeping the original date. Sometimes, they have the current date (date I moved them) as the received date. Obviously, when the date changes it screws everything up. I cannot figure out why it does it one way sometimes and another way other times. Any ideas?
