I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I'm having trouble with OUTLOOK and WORD freezing up ... I get the beach ball every 60 seconds.  Anyone else experiencing this?  If yes, what can we do about it?

Outlook 2007 allowed me to click on contacts when forwarding to multiple addresses

About a month ago we upgraded one of our Macs to 10.8 (from 10.6). The upgrade went fine, but now Outlook Mac 2011 does not work correctly. The only known issue we are having is the Search function not working correctly. Whether it is searching for a Name, Subject, Date… nothing shows up – only “no results”

I’ve searched forums, how-to sites, Microsoft and Apples websites looking for answers and have not found a solution. I’ve installed any updates that are related to Mac Office 2011. None of which have resolved the issue.

So far I’ve tried Rebuilding the Outlook Profile (multiple times), Re-indexing the folders/volumes in Spotlight (multiple times as well). I made sure Mail Messages is checked in Spotlight. After re-indexing is complete, the Mac drags a lot. It drags when you try to do anything within Outlook. Whether it is clicking on a new email, printing, clicking on a subfolder, anything. It’s painful for the user to even use Outlook. So they use their mobile phone at times to read email and/or Outlook Web App (OWA).

Has anyone found a solution? (Besides reimaging/rebuilding the Mac)

Thanks in advance for any help/comments.

Outlook (Office Mac 2011/v14.2.3) worked fine, until updated Office [on a MBPro/OS X.7.5] -- now Outlook either immediately aborts, or hangs/fails to connect to server ["Not responding"]; Word and Excel both work fine.  Rebuilt Microsoft Database (twice!), rebooted MBPro several times, but no improvement -- Any brilliant suggestions?
After upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion OS (v 10.8.2) and reinstalling the latest version of MS Outlook for Mac 2011 (v 14.2.4), there are now 2 and sometimes 3 Inbox windows that open up, one behind the other, when I launch Outlook.

The app gets my external email just fine and the multiple windows show the same list of folders and email messages, but it's a bit annoying and I have to go ahead and close the extra windows manually.

Am wondering what might cause this and what I can do to prevent the multiple windows from opening up each time.

Thanks in advance for your help with this issue.

Hello all,

 

I recently switched to Mac and purchased office mac 2011. My main issue is about fonts in outlook, which after googling I found that it is a common issue.

 

I was using outlook for windows, and now I am using outlook for mac however, fonts are really small, for example, when I set a text to be Arial 10 in my email, the recipient receives it as Arial 7 or 8 which is really small.

 

Kindly advice. Thank you in advance

I have attempted to insert the disk into my new Macbook Pro Computer i just purchased. I will hear the disk run, and nothing happens after i insert the disk. THere are no prompts to follow and all my applications are closed. I have started the computer with the disk in and also with the disk out. I have attempted several times and i cannot get any prompts to follow along to install Office Mac. I have looked for the "office installer" icon but nothing is prompted.
THis cannot be that hard to do?
