Messenger chat question

02. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I have just purchased a new Windows 8 PC that came with Messenger on it.  How do I voice chat with it?  So far I can only find a way to text

messages to friends?  I can find no options to set up a video session or set up the microphone?  I can't even find out what version of Messenger

I'm using.  Am I trying to make the wrong program work like my old MSN Messenger, that I could chat and video messages with?

2 or 3 windows open when I launch Office Mac 2011

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.

Using Mountain Lion and Office 2011 – I can’t get calendar to display entries, new or old. Both are fully up to date

Hello there,
I've recently upgraded to a macbook retina complete with Mountain Lion and I've successfully installed Office 2011 (which I had before on my old macbook).  I've got notes uploaded from the earlier version, I've got email working fine, Word and Excel seem OK, but I can't get anything to appear in calendar, neither historic stuff nor new entries that I add.  I'm able to activate the new event button but when I save and close, nothing appears.  I'm sure it'll be something dead obvious and simple, but I just can't work it out...........:(

How to Edit Multiple Contacts in Outlook 2011 for Mac

18. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
Ok, so, I'm loving my new mac, but am frustrated with the limited capabilities of Microsoft Office. 

I need the ability to edit multiple contacts in outlook. Since I can't export just a group of contacts (not smart, if you ask me!), I need to be able to add a defining column to the contacts so that when I export my contacts to use, I can grab just the two groups that I need. I have catagorized all the contacts, but in the export process, the category isn't included. How can I edit multiple contacts? 

For Example: 

I have 672 contacts in a group that we'll call "Clients". I have 6 other email groups in outlook. I have catagorized all of the "Clients" emails to be the color orange. I now need to add a column, say "Nickname" and have all 672 contacts updated with a "Nickname" of clients so that when I export to an excel file, I can sort by "Nickname" and grab just my "Client" emails to use in an email campaign through vertical response. 

I know this was possible with the windows version, because I did it. Also, the windows version allows for exporting of just certain folders within the contacts. 

Microsoft, PLEASE add this feature into outlook! We have got to be able to manage our contacts better!

Frustrated, 

Lisa

Spotlight returns "No Results" in Outlook

Outlook 2011 for Mac - version 14.2.4 (fully udpated) - on Lion. 
 
When I try to search for an email message using Spotlight, I get "No Results". Have tried the various solutions in this forum, none of which work. Specifically, tried to force a reindex by copying the identity into Spotlight Preferences - Privacy tab, so that I could then remove it. Got the following error message: "The item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error."

Not sure if this makes a difference but Outlook is tracking more than 2000 folders across 3 email accounts, and tens of thousands of messages. But my main Inbox is under 100 messages.

How can I see when an appointment was created (Mac outlook 2011)

I can find lot-o-tutorials on how to do it on PC, but I can't find any of the options in the mac version.
Please help! I have spend hours looking for a solution.

I purchased my iMac OS X 10.5.8, on line from Macintosh with Office pre-installed. Have been advised to reinstall, but don't know where to get a copy of the discs. 

Any help gratefully accepted.

I use Office 2011 for Mac (version 10.2.4) running on Mointain Lion 10.8.2.

I use Office for mac (version 14.2.4) running on Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2). Starting a couple of weeks ago I noticed Outlook repeatedly crashing, sometimes after starting/launching the program, or sometimes (most of the times) while trying to resend an email message. it just throws me away and tries to open again (followed by crashing again or not).

I do not believe I have changed anything, nor updated anything, giving a reason for crashing. A fact is that my database of emails (sent/received) is as big as 10 gigas given I work whith hundreds ofmclients who have,in my computers (one after the other, once I change model), their own Folder in which I archive their messages. In time the whole database (.pst / .olm) turn huge/heavy.

Questions to the Forum:

1. Is this problem usual?
2. Will it get worse?  up to now, it has been a little problem to me but I sorted out to live with it.
3. has Office 2011 CD (I do not have it anymore since I lost it while moving) a funtion called 'repair' or similar?
4. is there any other solution for this situation? 

Please help!

kind regards!

Outlook for Mac 2011. How do I add a second Identity, not a second account.

06. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I am transferring all of my data from a MacBook to MacBookPro and purchased a second Microsoft Office Mac 2011 Home and Business and I used all three licenses of the older version of the Office Mac 2011.  I had two separate Identities on the Outlook MacBook: (1) personal and (2) business, so that when I opened Outlook, I had the option to select which Identity I desired to open.

I have not been able to select two separate Identities on the MacBookPro, even though I copied both Identities from the MacBook into the Identities Documents folder, but am not able to open the personal Identity separately.  Rather, both Identities have merged into the primary business Identity.  I then created a second account for the personal Identity, but that did not solve the issue.

So, how can I create a second Identity on the MacBookPro?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
