Once agian I accidentally hit the Return key while unaware that an item in my Office Reminders was highlighted, and as a consequence it has disappeared, cancelled, and there is no 'Undo'.
Is there any way to stop Office Reminders doing this? This accidental cancellation could be really serious.
My company uses reminders on flagged e-mail messages. When the message pops up there is a check box in Office Reminders which when clicked gets a check mark and the reminder is dismissed. I assumed by checking this box the message would be flagged as completed
in Outlook. But it does not. What happens is I have to open the e-mail and click on the flag to mark it as complete. If I do not do mark it as complete for every new reminder the old flagged message continues to come up.
Is there a fix so that when the checkbox is clicked that the message is also marked as complete?
Thanks.
I would like to turn off the reminder pop-up from Outlook, I am referring to the pop-up that I believe is not related to the Apple system notification system. I see an option on the Outlook menu called "Turn Off Office Reminders". I click on this and
it does not appear to do anything. When I click on "Work Offline" a tick mark appears next to it to indicate that it has been selected. The "Turn Off Office Reminders does not do this"? Is this a bug? I am running the latest updates - just downloaded one
last week. If this is a bug, is there a workaround to prevent the pop-ups? Thanks,
I asked this question before but didn't get answers that helped, so I'm trying again. Reminders doesn't pop up on my desktop ever, not when a planned event is nearing or even when I boot up. Sometimes it doesn't even register events I've entered in the
Calendar. I am literally missing or almost missing appointments because of this. I downloaded Office 2011 in July 2013, so I'm past MS's miserably short warranty period, but Reminders has never worked properly from the get-go. Didn't do anything about it because
life was getting in the way, and now it's too late. I have OS X 10.6.8, the OS and Office are always fully updated. As far as I know, Reminders is the only function that doesn't work right, and if it doesn't work it's pretty much useless.
Office Reminders isn't reminding me at all. Unlike Office Notifications in Entourage, Reminders in Outlook never pops open on my screen at all, much less the reminder-in-advance time. Yes, I have it turned on, the time is right and the calendar is right
- all settings available are correct. But Reminders does not pop open on my screen, ever. Not when I wake the computer from sleep and not even when I restart. I have to remember to click it to see what's coming on my schedule, and I have actually missed appointments
because of this. I could rely on Notifications - Reminders is utterly unreliable. I've looked everywhere I can think of for a setting that will make it pop open, but can't find anything. My wife's Reminders works just as it should, so what's wrong with mine?
I miss Entourage.
ISSUE: Cannot dismiss reminders in the Office Reminders application. Items repopulate upon opening Reminders app again.
STEPS ATTEMPTED:
1) Tried deleting existing calendar appointment - original calendar appointment no longer exists in user calendar
2) Tried new identity - does not work
3) Tried dismissing items individually - does not work
4) Checked OWA for the calendar appts - none available
5) Checked sync services - disabled
CONFIGURATION:
OSX 10.8.5 running Office 2011 14.3.7, connected to an Exchange 2010 server (recently upgraded from 2007, seems like this became more of an issue for us when that move happened)
I'm at a loss everyone and the info I've seen around has been unhelpful so far. Multiple users in our org are plagued by this problem. Any thoughts?
I just switched from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook and am almost ready to go back to using Windows Outlook with Parallels. One thing I'm really missing is having a big notification/alert dialog box with my reminder show up on the screen 15 minutes before
a task. This is what Windows Outlook did. Right now, it seems my only option is to have the list of Office Reminders open all the time and then constantly check it to see if some reminder just came up. Under System Preferences, it seems the only option
for notification alerts is for e-mail, not tasks. Am I missing something?
BTW, I have "Turn On Office Reminders" On.
Thanks, Susan
Hi All,
My office reminders, that I have previously dismissed both individually and as all continue to persist and reappear whenever I open Outlook for Mac. Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Monte
I accidentally touched return while one of my Office Reminders flagged documents was highlighted, and the flag and the document have disappeared. I presume it's been cancelled, and since I can't for the life of me think what it was I can only hope it wasn't
too important. This Office Reminders really is one of the most un-userfriendlty applications I've encountered in 25 years with a Mac. You really would think Microsoft wouldd have made a better job of it by now, but it just seems to be getting worse, along
with Outlook which has become an overcomplicated shambles while a lot of the basics are still dire.
I created a few alerts months ago, to test what they were, but now they pop up as "office reminders", and I click dismiss, but they never seem to go away.
How do I track them and nuke them once and for all thanks.
