Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Home and Business Update issues

01. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

I am currently running Office for Mac Home and Business 14.1.0 on my iMac. I had to revert to this version to rebuild my Outlook identity after it corrupted during a software upgrade several months ago. i want to try applying the updates to the latest version of Outlook for mac and have found that there are two options - either by selecting software update from within the program or by downloading the updates from the Microsoft website. 

If I go the the updates on the Microsoft website, there are several updates that have been issues since 14.1.0 SP1 was released. Should I download and apply these updates individually or should I simply select the latest update. either from the website or from within the Office program? Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook 2011 Stopped Opening

27. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Hi,

I have a MacBook Air, Mid 2011 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.

I have been using Outlook successfully for 2/3 years, but suddenly today it has stopped opening.  Other Office software opens.  But when I click on Outlook it appears to start opening (the standard yellow box appears briefly), but then stops.  No error message is seen.

I have restarted the MacBook several times and checked Software Update.

I have followed threads for similar issues and done the following:

- Hold 'Option' key and click on Outlook icon to open Microsoft Database Utility.  I have created a second 'identity', made it the default, and then opened Outlook - successfully (though with no content).  When I reset the default to the original identity I am again unable to open Outlook.

Though I have found threads that suggest taking the above step I have not found anything that then explains what that means, or what to do next.  Some threads seem to say I have to rebuild a database, and others caution against rebuilding a database.  Rebuilding a database sounds like I am going to lose something by doing it - whether it be content, different accounts I have set up within Outlook, rules etc.

Can anyone give me advice please?

JJ

P.S.  Shortly before this Outlook failure I had an error message that required me to switch the MacBook off and on again.  This has been a recurring problem over the last few months (though never previously resulting in an Outlook failure).  The panic report runs 4 pages long and there is no particular error code I can find.

Outlook stripping html signature css

06. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
Hello,
I'm working in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 & 365 Exchange.

I am developing an HTML signature with Dreamweaver, then copy/pasting the design into the desktop app, it deploys and runs through the exchange and is then synced back my desktop and the Apple Mail app on my iPhone.

My issue is that I have written the text to not resize on each table cell using the -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; css  (and also tried putting it on the body, in a style block in the head on all elements) in conjunction with the viewport meta tag set to width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no.

When I view the source code of the received email this data is stripped out, thus my webkit browsers are enlarging the text anyway.

After hours of testing and requesting support from all other avenues, I can only guess this problem is because of Outlook and not my code.

Does anyone know of any workarounds or know where to send me?

Charter.net email – cannot send email

18. February 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
Upon retirement, my university email has closed.  I have been trying to change to email offered by my ISP - Charter.

I have a MacBook Pro and use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 that uses Outlook (not Entourage).  

I cannot fully operate my @charter.net email.  I can receive email messages but I cannot send emails.

The error message: "A message in your Outbox could not be sent. The account which created the message cannot be found. # 17199"

I have followed all permutations of instructions on the Charter website and their support staff will only support the web based email site.
