Cant Edit Message Body (outlook 2003 and 2007), Cant select text VIA click (word), Cant Edit Advanced Options (word)

A number of my users are having similar problems across the entire network. These issues have started on 8/26/2014
This problem is not localized to a specific outlook version, the problem is happening on 2003 and 2007 alike. Also this problem is starting to move into MS-Word.
In outlook i am unable to click the message body. If i click the message body nothing happens. I cannot select any text, type, or anything in the message body. I am however able to type in the message body if i press the 'tab key' and navigate to the message
body.
I have wiped out profiles. reset all user settings, changed datafiles etc. Nothing i do seems to affect this problem.
On microsoft word i am unable to edit a number of documents. These documents are readable, editable etc on different computers. There are not any protections on the files. The user who reported this problem is however unable to edit the text even though
others are able to. To correct this problem we have protected and unprotected the file checked permissions all with no luck.
On the same computer i am unable to change any advanced options. When i attempt to click the listing nothing happens. Its acting in the same manner as outlook is described above. However i am unable to select anything using the 'tab' key.
These problems started on a few different computers, but is beggining to spread and affect more users across the network.
This also does not seem to be a group policy issue. We have a number of different user groups on the network, and this problem is not isolated to any specific user, or group, group member etc..
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to lend some assistance to solve this matter.

Upgrading from outlook 2003 and 2007 to office 365 small business outlook

We just bought office 365 small business thinking I can easily set up outlook as we did in outlook 2007.
That is creating an account using POP3 and SMTP for every individual.
I just started watching a video of how to set up the out look in office 365 and it does not make any sense to add all 30 mail boxes set up in Network solutions and work around our domain names and all sort of unnecessary complicated step to use this on line
office.
Can we just set it up the way we did in outlook 2007 without having to deal with all parties involved?
Regards;

Hi,
I suppose you used Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create the POP3 accounts for the users? With OCT it's quite easy with .prf as I can tell. However, in Office 365 we don't have OCT so that's probably why you don't know how to create the
accounts for users.
Due to the lack of related resource here, I actually suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community, where this question can be properly addressed:

Outlook 2003 and Oracle

I have a user running Outlook 2003 and I've just installed the connector (1012 07) and patch 1012 08) but whenever I start Outlook I get a message saying that either the network is down (it isn't) or the server name is misspelled (it isn't either).
Any help?

I have also had the same error - it went away when you use the user name (not login name but the one which is entered in the First / Last fields) for the Calendar setup. For email, you still use the login name.
I'm not sure whether this will help - but you can give it a try

Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

Hi Ersin,
Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform. However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module. I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?

Nick

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

I cannot tap and drag to select text in Word

All of sudden, I cannot tap and drag to select text I want to move or edit in Word. Not sure what I did to make it stop working. Please advise....

"aimbdd" - Thanks very much for your feedback.... That feature you have verified simply disappears with the "new" Multi-touch Trackpad which was first introduced with the early-2008 MacBook Pro, and, which was also carried over from the iPhone...
The alternative is that you employ the "Mouse Button" or, in this case, the "Track Pad Button" to restore the feature...
"Will K." - So, the late-2008 MacBook Pro DOES have a button, which you need to "click".
When you say "Hold" you mean that you need to hold down that "button" ...
Now, if I understand it correctly, the top surface of the button IS the track pad. That's rather odd!!!
What happens if you release the button? Or, do you HAVE to hold the button down some how while you take the cursor to the end of your selection? If so, what would you hold it down with if the top surface of the button is the touch sensitive track pad????
In my opinion, the track pad BUTTON is redundant when you select the various tapping options for the track pad from the preferences, which was also possible on the Powerbook G4 ....
So, with the new MacBook Pro, which way are we going, forward or backward?

What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

What version of Acrobat? What operating system?

Outlook 2003 and Office 2007/10 Files

Our exec is having problems opening up files created with the Office 2007/10 standard...doesn't matter if it is WORD or EXCEL...and he has the compatibility pack installed to read the files.
When he tries to open a DOCX or XLSX file within an email attachment in Outlook 2003, it says the file cannot be found...if he saves it first and opens it up fro mthe save position, it works. And he can open standard DOC or XLS files within a attachment email.
We have uninstalled and reinstalled the compatability pack / file converter with same results...this is a situation where he just wants it fixed and fast.
Thanks...

Tour Sync Issues with Outlook 2003 and Error Code 0x8004fceb

Hello, I have a Tour with DM 5.0, which I sync with Outlook 2003 on my laptop running Vista O/S. I am having a problem deleting items from the Tour that I've previously added via a sync with Outlook.
Some time after syncing, I delete the items from Outlook and then re-sync. Instead of deleting from BB, the changes dialog box tells me the items are going to be added from the device to Outlook!!! If I accept changes so that other calendar items will update (from Outlook to BB), Outlook remains fine, but the items do not delete from BB.
Additionally, existing items on BB are duplicated on the BB during sync. In other words, I have ended up with 7 entries for one appointment on the BB even though there's only one in Outlook. This primarily happens with recurring appointments.
Lastly, despite all this confusion, the sync ends with Error Code 0x8004fceb; check documentation, which I cannot locate on blackberry.com.
I am set up for two-way sync, future items only. I even reset to one-way sync from calendar to device to no avail.
Please help.
Thank you.

Sorry. I guess I needed to be clearer I have Office SP 2.
I will tell you that I currently running an older version of iTunes (7.3) because that is the only one that syncs.
In the newest version of iTunes (and of course the current one) it does give me the option to sync with outlook.

Synchronisation prob between outlook 2003 and noki...

Windows xp sp2
Latest version of pc suite is installed (just checked via the updater)
Connection method: Bluetooth
Synchronisation between my contacts and calendar entries in outlook 2003 SP2 and my Nokia n95 8gb was working perfectly until today.
By perfectly what I mean is that the following happens: if I remove a contact or calendar entry from outlook, it is removed from phone when I sync. Also, if a calendar entry is made on phone or contact amended this was then reflected correctly in outlook on next sync.
Now what happens is the following:
I removed a number of calendar entries from outlook and instead of removing these from phone when i synced it kept them on phone and also placed them back in outlook again.
I also note that when sync is running that it appears to be running through all calendar entries and re syncing rather than just amended ones.
I only make use of calendar and contacts nothing else between phone and outlook
This is so weird as i have made no changes to settings on phone or pc!

hi, i have been running my sync as follows.
plug phone into usb cable. prompted for pc suite connection. I accept.
PC suite has the word "synchronise" available for clicking. I click on that and synchronise takes place.
this is how I've always sync'd my phone and outlook.
From the moment I installed software a cpl of months ago have been to update in both directions for calendar and contacts (those are only things I sync). This was working perfectly until one day it decided to go haywire and add back entries to my outlook calendar which i'd previously deleted.
i'm currently getting round this by only updating items in outlook and checking the option to remove all items from phone before sending them all, as new, to the phone again from the PC.
I dont want this to be the way I have to do this though, I want to go back to the old method whereby i could quite happily add an entry in either outlook or phone calendar/contacts and the sync will work correctly. :-(

Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 crash w Outlook 2003 and Vista...

I newly installed the latest Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 and it crashes when synchronisation with Outlook 2003 is initiated. Syncing the messages works. OS is Vista 32-bit. I could send a dump-file to the Nokia support, if desired.

Hi jol888,
Thank you for your valuable post.
Please provide us with the following information so that we can analyze this issue further.
SYSTEM INFORMATION ( Help-About Ovi Suite-System Information copy and paste here)
Device Info ( *#0000#)
Debug Logs.
The logging needs to be enabled first by editing the file debug_conf.txt with a text editor. The line FILELOG=FALSE must to be changed to FILELOG=TRUE. The file is located where Nokia Ovi Suite was installed (C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite). If its not there, then i have attached the file in this post. Try to reproduce the issue.
The logs (debug_log.txt and DalMeasurementFile2.log) will be written to the user's %TEMP% folder
In WinXP the folder is C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp
In Vista/Windows 7 the folder is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
Crash dump:
In XP:
On application crash, you'll see the dialog asking whether you want to Debug or Close. Don't do either. Closing the dialog destroys the dump file before you have a chance to copy it.
- Click the "For more information about this error, click here" link in the crash dialog, and copy the "Error signature" contents. The relevant content can be selected with mouse, and copied. Paste the text to the report.
- Find the minidump file (usually C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Temp\???.dmp). If there are multiple .dmp files, check the modification time the find the one that was created at the same time the application crashed.
- Start Task Manager and end process "dwwin.exe". The dump file is locked by this process.
- The dump file can now be copied and attached.
In Vista and Windows 7:
- Expand the "View problem details" in the crash dialog and copy the contents
- Open Task manager and find NokiaOviSuite.exe from the Processes list
- Right click over NokiaOviSuite.exe and select Create Dump File.
- The dump file can now be copied and attached.
For Large files (more than 10MB) you can upload them on Files on Ovi
1. Log into Ovi.com
2. Click on files
3. Type in your username and password
For a user who has not set up files on ovi on his computer, it will give an option to download the file connector.
4. Click Download and install the file connector.
5. Then you will find the Sign in to Ovi Files icon in the desktop.
6. Close the browser and then click on Sign in to Ovi Files icon from desktop.
7. It will connect to ovi.com again. Login with username and password.
8. Left pane shows the directory like the windows explorer.
9. Anytime file status will show the respective file/folder
10. Select the file which you want to send and then right click the file and select the option send.
11. Type the email address [email protected]
12. Select the expiration date and then add comments if any.
13. Then select the option to store in anytime file.
The email recipient will receive an email with a link to download the file.
Looking forward to hear from at the earliest.

Sync gmail messages between outlook 2003 on my hom...

Hi everyone,
I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum and other pages on the net, but I couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
I have a E51 with the latest version of PC suite; and I am using Outlook 2003 on a WinXP SP2 machine.
PC suite does not give me the possibility to sync messages with Outlook (if it does, then it doesn't work for me). It only syncs calendar items, notes and contacts, which are all of secondary importance for me.
Of course, this is an enterprise phone, but I am not using it with my work computer. I use it with my gmail personal address. I got the phone set up to get my emails through IMAP and my computer through POP3.
What I would like is to be able to receive and send messages from my phone while on the go and still have the possibility to retrieve all email conversations when I download my messages with Outlook.
Unfortunately, although this works fine for received emails (downloading them with my phone will not erase them from my inbox and I will still be able to download them onto my computer), it is not the case with sent emails. These are stored in my phone memory as well as on gmail webmail under sent items, but they won't be set as part of the conversation in the inbox and will therefore not download onto my PC. And even if I move them manually to the inbox, they will be moved there in the webmail interface but Outlook will still not download them.
I would like to be able to save the history of some email exchanges from that particular gmail mailbox onto the computer (of course I don't need the whole history on my phone), and I find it a pain to have to go through the phone web browser to read and write my mail, so I would be really greatful if someone could tell me how to do it.
I could also change my email client to be something else than outlook if it makes it possible, but I don't think this issue is down to Outlook.
Thanks in advance for your help, I'll take any lead on how to do it or what to install...
Cheers

Hi e61drc,
Thank you for your answer! I'll try that as soon as I get home and post to let you know how happy I am!

After Outlook 2003 to 2007 upgrade, calendar no longer syncs properly

Hi all,
I have a client that I have been troubleshooting iPhone/Outlook problems with and am stumped. After seeing online how many issues there are with Outlook information sync, I have tried everything to no avail so I thought I would ask for outside ideas.
My client had Outlook 2003 operating in an Exchange environment and everything was working perfectly synching his iPhone 3G to contacts and calendars within Outlook. Recently we upgraded to Office 2007. Now his iPhone sync does not update the calendar at all. It seems as though it does sync the old calendar information that was present in Outlook 2003 before the upgrade.
After much troubleshooting, I believe it may have something to do with the old Outlook 2003 calendar. I have tried deleting recurring appointments, backup and restore of the iPhone, and applying all software updates to both iTunes and Office.
When trying a restore of the iPhone, I opted to restore to factory settings and then leave the phone 'blank' and try sync of the calendar alone with the 'Replace all calendar info on the iPhone with Outlook calendar' option enabled. This resulted in a sync that did populate calendar data, but it did not match the data displayed on the calendar in Outlook 2007. It was as though it was synching the old calendar present before the Office suite was upgraded.
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks for any help!
Cheers.

I am having the same issue and the article you're suggesting only relates to a Mac operating system. Whereas I do own a Mac (Mac Mini & Macbook), this issue is occuring when I'm attempting to sync my iPhone with my calendar & contacts at the office.
I just recently upgraded to Office 2007 from Office 2003 and now when I try to sync, it seems to get stuck during the syncing of contacts. I am just an end user and my company does not support iPhone so there aren't any changes I can make to the exchange server, etc....
Please help!!!! I desperately need access to my updated calendar appointments.
