Non-English characters in text files not displayed

31. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: characters, Non-English characters, text file, text wrapping

While testing the new features, I was surprised to discover that non-English characters aren't displayed when a text file is opened. Furthermore, text wrapping isn't working properly:

Each box hides a number of characters, making it impossible to work out what should be there. Is this working as designed?

It makes no difference whether I select a different language at the foot of the SkyDrive page.

Enter the characters that you see doesnt work

I cannot access one of my hotmail accounts so the screen prompts me to enter the characters that I see on the screen. This I have done about twenty times already and it doesnt work. I have even tried the sound version and still it wont accept the characters that I type as being on the screen.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Entering Microsoft Account name to sign in Outlook (mail)?

23. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: characters, Entering Microsoft Account name, Microsoft account

When I go from MSN.ca to Outlook, I must type in all characters of my Microsoft Account (e-mail address) every time. When it was Hotmail, all I needed to do is type in the first character, the system would suggest a list of previously used account names. This feature is non existent now in Outlook.

I have followed the various conversations here about the captcha problem with Outlook.com, and every one I've seen is complaining that the message demanding the captcha procedure does not stop after the correct characters have been entered -- the request keeps appearing again and again.

My problem goes one better.

I get the request to type the characters in the image or record them from an audio file, but I get neither the captcha image nor the audio file.

The request just sits there, pretending to wait for the file I'm supposed to copy. I have no expectation that I'll get it in the next week or month or even more if I don't get it within, say, a day or two.

Which means I can't use the account.

Is there any way to goose this procedure along?

Windows Live Mail: Can’t send out mail ~ For security reasons, this email account has been temporarily deactivated

17. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: characters, security reasons, Windows Live Mail

For about two hours I can no longer send out mail. I get a message that my account was deactivated. It also asks me to enter the characters seen in the picture to reactivate. There are no pictures or characters. The voice prompt keeps repeating different names and when I enter any of them it tells me invalid.

"For security reasons, this email account has been temporarily deactivated. A picture containing letters and numbers will appear when you close this window. To reactivate your account, enter the characters you see in the picture.

Font compatibility in Office for Mac and Windows

12. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: characters, Office for Mac

I am using Office for Mac, and my problem/question is - when I set the font at size 10 or 12 for (say) Ariel or Verdana as my default font in Outlook, the characters look very small. To make the characters appear a reasonable size, I need to set the font size to 18. Now if I send a mail with this font size, the recipient will see unusually large characters.

On the other hand, when I use Outlook with my Windows laptop, the font size of 12 is much larger (as compared to size 12 in Mac), and easy to read as I type my mails.

One solution is that i write my mails in font 18 and then reduce them to 12 before sending them. But that is cumbersome at times, I tried changing the screen resolution, but then the fonts appeared blurred.

Mailbox empty after account recovery.

I tried to log into my account and was told to re-type my password and a series of characters to verify I'm "not a robot" because someone had been trying to access my account unsuccessfully. I couldn't get the password and the series of characters to work (after multiple tries) so I clicked on "Can't access your account?" and was asked to reset my password, then verify my secondary email address and phone number. After I did that, it took me to my inbox which was completely empty - none of my emails were there nor were any of my folders I had created. I then proceeded to receive two new emails that someone who had just opened an account would receive. I have had this account for 10+ years! I need to recover my emails - I have some sensitive information in there that I desperately need access to. Please help!!!!

When using spell check while composing a message a window pops up telling me I’ve reached a limit of 10,000 characters for that message, even if I typed two words.

This just showed up today. I've never seen it before. I can't use spell check on emails I compose because it says I've reached my limit of 10,000 characters.

Hope somebody can help.

Thanks
