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.
For some reason unknown to me I am not recieving email alerts for reminders i have set on windows live mail calendar. I have filled in all the feilds and provided my email address (not my hotmail address as i dont use hotmail) Can anyone help.
I've done something that has caused my screen to flash every time an office reminder pops up. I'm on Office 2011 and Lion. Any ideas out there?
Starting just this week my Office Reminders app is not working properly. Randomly throughout the day it pops up and bounces in my dock for about half a minute. Then a reminder (though I do not have one set for any of these times) quickly flashes, then the whole app shuts down again. Same thing happens if I try to open the app manually. I've deleted the com.microsoft.outlook.office_reminders.plist, but that did not fix it.

Any clues?
I keep getting reminders for old items that I had previous ly dismissed...they keep coming backk even after I dismiss them again...it's like a haunted house! Hoe do I fix this?
I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS (10.8.1) and now Office Reminders is repeating past calendar events and updating the calendars.  How do I cure this problem?
I have now tried about ten times to add another email -- not hotmail or live -- to my hotmail calendar so that reminders will be sent there. My hotmail account did allow an email to be added but everytime I go into my calendar to create a reminder, only the Live.com email is set to be reminded and there is no opportunity to add my new email, which I've already added to the live account in general, to the reminder page on my calendar. Does anyone know how? Thanks
Hello!

Does anyone know a convenient way to deactivate notifications/reminders for entries within shared calendars (only)?

I only found the option for default reminders which is inconvenient since people would have to manually set it for their own calendar events all the time.

Any advice appreciated.

Bye, jan
When it is time for a new task to display on office reminders, it will not show up unless I shut down or restart my Mac.

I have a similar problem, often when I have woken my MacBook Pro up from sleep, and I have to quit Office Reminders and restart it to get all Reminders to show. 

This is one of many rather crucial shortcomings I have experienced with Office Reminders, I have found it  fundamentally unreliable as a reminder tool and therefore of very little use.  I'd appreciate any suggestions for an alternative that works properly.


Is this possible? I want to use Mac mail, but the Mac reminder system with no snooze times is hopeless. If I make Mac Mail my default email app, Office Reminders don't turn on! Is it possible to use Office Reminders without Outlook as default?
