I'm having a particular problem currently with Outlook 2011 for Mac.  It involves typing contractions starting with "I'" such as I've or I'm.

It appears that if I type these contractions in a new email that uses the default black color and no italics everything is fine.  BUT, if I use italics or color things malfunction.  How?  If I type "I've" the "v" becomes capitalized and suddenly everything grinds to a half.  If I type the "e" I then hear a bell, the menu in the email fades to gray and I cannot type anything further.  STRANGE!  Same if I type "I'm".  The "m" capitalizes but then the ability to type ends, the keyboard freezes so to speak and when I hit a key I simply hear a bell.  Once this problem arises going back to black font and no italics doesn't help.  The problem continues.  I can go to the capitalized letter, highlight it and then type it small and it will work.  BUT, I cannot type emails that way, stopping each time.

Any ideas as to the problem?  I installed Mountain Lion so I am guessing that did something although I do not know.

Thanks.
Hard drive crashed.  Migrated everything from laptop.  Office wouldn't accept code even though I just bought in May.  Spoke with someone at Microsoft and she said to download it instead of migrating.

Safari wasn't working.  Finally got to Apple Store today and they reinstalled Safari so that I could access internet.  Redownloaded Outlook and put in Key Code.  Everything working except Outlook.  Keeps saying it can't switch to that identity.  Running Lion, not Mountain Lion.

Any ideas?  It's been a week that I haven't been able to use this computer.

Please advise me  on how to import 1,633 html files into my current database's empty Notes folder.    I am running Outlook version 14.2.3 and Lion 10.7.4.

When I lost all Notes from my current database and rebuilding Outlook didn't help , I dragged the Notes from a 2-week-old database clone to a desktop folder where they were converted to html files.   

With the exception of the empty, current Notes part of the current database, everything else works perfectly.  I don't know how to import only  Notes without losing hundreds of new and changed Tasks, Reminders, Mail, and Contacts  that were incorporated into the current database over the past two weeks.  

Thanks very much for reading my plea for help.

I made a clean install with Mountain Lion, works great. Installed agin Office 2011, updated everything, it works okay, but now when I attach a PDF or Picture, and try to open it, office shuts down, sends even a report, and opens again. Same when I get a mail and open the attachment. Does not happen in the preview mode.
Any idea what I'm up against ?¿?

Thanks

I've logged into outlook.com with my old microsoft hotmail account. After this I received an email from the outlook.com team saying you could change your emailadres to @outlook.com and everything would go over to this account without problems, contacts, email, etc would all be going to the new account.

After doing this, my old @hotmail.com cannot be used to logon anymore, I have to use the outlook.com address.

 

Now when I do this in hotmail, everything seems te be fine.Even when I log into my Xbox, it shows the new account in the settings without even having to change anything. But when I do this on Messenger, the online list stays empty.

I see al the address offline in the list.

Other people do not see me coming online and I do not see them online. I've checked this also with my other account.

Will this take time, or is there a bug in the transfer from hotmail.com to outlook.com??

I downloaded Office:Mac 2011 update 14.2.3; I had to turn off Microsoft database Daemon & Sync Services Agent from the Activity Monitor  or the update would not load. After I finished downloading the update - I restarted my  Mac. When I went to my Outlook program it was totally wiped out, no contacts, e-mails, mailboxes etc. Everything was gone. What happened. I have no idea what to do---- Please HELP ME.

I use an Microsoft webcam (Vx3000) on MSN Messenger and it does video calls with sound very well.

Previously when I used Xp the person at the other endof the video call could hear and enjoy my background music and we often exchanged tunes.

The webcam and its internal microphone report that everything is functioning but now although we can converse easily the other person cannot hear my music although I can easily hear songs that she plays?

Is there a setting in the Realtek Audio system that needs changig?

Thank you for any suggestions I may implement

I keep getting this message and another.  5.5.0 invalid address.  I know what i did wrong, but now every time i hit send and receive, I get the 2 errors.  Everything seems to work, but I want to stop getting the errors.  How do I delete the original e-mail that has the wrong address or domain name?
Thanks, Peter
