I'd like to know if there is a way to easily make Outlook show me the years of experience at Contact has any given field. I was imagining using one of the user fields along with a formula that keeps adding a year to the total years of experience a person has based on the number I enter into that...

Got it. That makes sense (sadly) so thank you for explaining to me how this doesn't work. I appreciate your help and expert insight, Diane.

My PST contacts are synced with my iPhone via iCloud and iTunes. However at some point (in the sending of data to or from the phone) the formatting (fonts and embedded links) are changed to Calibri and expanded in the case of the links (rather than with smaller display names for the...

Diane, thank you for your reply. And yes it tells me each time it has errors and needs to repair them. I've run into this three times (and it always happens after two passes before it trying to repair the PST). I eventually opened the PST in safe mode and started turning off add-on's until I...

I'm using Windows 10 and Outlook 2013 and when I run the ScanPST.exe repeatedly it continues to find and repair errors until about the third pass when it tells me there are errors and I need to click Repair to fix them but there is no repair button, just the Okay button. Why is this happening...

Great. It seems to be working just as you say. Thanks, Diane!

I am using Outlook 2013 in a Windows 8.2 environment and the Recent Files list when using the Insert Hyperlink function is no longer working. It's worked for and think it still works sporatically but the list is not up to date. In the past it would update if I downloaded a file to my hard...

Oh but still that is good information to know. I will search online for something outside of Outlook. Thanks, Diane!

Aw...we are getting closer! I see it now under More in the Communications Section of the Ribbon. Thanks. When I click Map It though I get this reply: "There is no address to map.". I then realized it was referring to the empty Business Address field not the Home Address field. I copied the...

Diane, thank you for your rapid response and suggestions. I would love to use the first idea but I don't see the Map It icon under the Action command inside the Custom Contact form I have created. There are the following options under that command: Save & Close, Delete, Save & New, Contact...

I am using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 and wonder if there is a way to search for contacts that are within a range of another address by miles. Perhaps this is in the form of an add-on that someone has heard of before. I know I can search by zip codes and cities but that leaves out many...

I am using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013. I want to add the Map It button found on the standard contact form next to the address field to my custom contact form. Is that possible? Where do I find the button in the Design This Form? How do I add it?

Happened again and I decided to turn off and then back on the bluetooth Microsoft Sculpt Mobile keyboard. Turning it off, reopens the Research Pane! Clearly it's connected to the keyboard. Outlook and this keyboard do not always play well together. I'm not sure there is a solution apart from...

Maybe this has something to do with instructions I have read for opening the Research Pane. Microsoft says to click on a word while holding the ALT key. Maybe I am hitting nearby keys or the keyboard is activating ALT key for some reason?

Thanks for replying! No, you're right I can close the pane but and I forgot to mention this, once it starts (appears) if I close the pane it reappears if I click anywhere on the body of the email. And yes it's using CTRL+X that seems to do it. That or sliding my mouse down to scroll the text...

I have I upgraded to the latest software and hardware, meaning I am now on Windows 8.1 with Outlook 2013 on a fast computer. I want to start to use BCM and have not used it in the past. My understanding is that I need to install the full version of BCM as described above. The link above lets me...

I'm checking out Plaxo to see if it will work for my needs. At $5/month for the Premium service (required for Outlook PC users) and $7/month for the Personal Assistant that automates the process of updating contact info (beyond just the email) this could be a very cost effective use of...

When I am working with the cut and paste short cut keys highlighting text from a contact every 30 minutes or so I somehow open the Research pane in an email and then am no longer able to use the shortcut keys in Outlook used to cut and paste. The same shortcut keys work outside Outlook say in...

How can I easily identify and delete from my contacts defunct email addresses? I have tried the add-in Actual Contacts from MapiLab but am finding that my Comcast ISP no longer uses port 25 and that seems to be the only port Actual Contacts uses to send emails. The folks at MAPILab are looking...

Re: Help Using Windows Desktop Search to Index Outlook PST of another User Log Diane, I think I had to make it a FAT32 drive when I began using Norton Partition Magic software to partition my drives. I believe if I am remembering correctly it required that the C: be 32FAT. I have found away...
