Disable AutoCorrect in Outlook 2010

How can I set (enable or disable) the AutoCorrect features in Outlook 2010, and have it stick beyond the current Outlook session?  When I open a new email and enter a hyphen and a space, autocorrect automatically indents.  I can disable
this for the current session via the 'Control AutoFormat options' (via the lightening bolt), and on the 'AutoFormat As You Type' tab, unchecking 'Automatic bulleted lists' and 'automatic numbered lists'.  I've also gone to the 'AutoFormat' tab and unchecked
'Automatic bulleted lists'.  This stops the automatic bullets for all new emails, until I close and reopen Outlook, at which point the automatic bulleting starts again.  I've also uncheked these same features in MS Word, but even with all of these
disabled, it returns as soon as I close and reopen Outlook.  This could previously be (permanently) disabled by saving/overwriting the normal.dot file, but I don't see this being presented as an option.  Have tried to do this by making the desired
changes and then using SaveAs, but don't find the Normal.dot file (or any other Normal.* file extension).  For info, I've also tried selecting (from the lightening bolt) the 'Undo Automatic Bullets' and 'Stop Automatically Creating Bulleted Lists'. 
These don't stick beyond the current Outlook session either.  I'd like to be able to disable this (or other features) and have them remain disabled until I should choose to re-enable them again.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks, Paul

I can confirm the post immediately above. It's disappointing that Microsoft, who must monitor their social forums, do not acknowledge established problems with a Knowledge Base item - that would prevent thousands (at least, I imagine) of users continuing
their search of the web for the experience of others: the results of such searches are almost invariably contradictory and extremely hard to evaluate. I find myself looking at markers such as clarity of expression - though that's hardly satisfactory, since
many will be writing in a second language and everybody will be in a hurry (having had their flow of work interrupted by Microsoft!).
Incidentally, I notice (but haven't had the time fully to verify) that AutoCorrect options seem to become attributes of items - so, for example, if you change AutoCorrect options they will apply to newly created items and items currently being edited, but
items created/edited under a different set of AutoCorrect options will open with those options intact.

  • Domain policy to disable hyperlinks in Outlook 2010?

    Our organization is under a requirement to configure text in Outlook that represents Internet and network paths in such a way that these must not be automatically turned into hyperlinks, i.e. verify "Internet and network path into hyperlinks"
    is not configured. Is there a Office 2010 domain policy that can enforce this setting?  I am only aware of a way to do this in individual user profiles.

    Hi,
    Do you have the
    Office 2010 Administrative Template files loaded? If so, we can find the GPO setting under:
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Outlook 2010\Outlook Options
    Double click "Internet and network paths into hyperlinks" on the right pane and change the setting to
    Disabled.
    In addition, we can also change the setting via modifying registry.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\outlook\options\autoformat
    DWORD: pgrfafo_25_1
    Value: 1 to enable; 0 to disable
    Please note, both method only configure Outlook to turn on/off the "Internet and network path into hyperlinks" setting, users can manually change the setting back then.

  • Delete Button Disabled in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2013

    I recently switched from a 3rd party mail software to Microsoft Exchange.  I have had some users ask me why the Delete button is disabled.  I didn't enable any special policy to cause this, and the Delete key on the keyboard will delete messages. 
    The disabled Delete button I am referring to is in the Home ribbon and the right-click menu for selected e-mail(s).  Is this standard behavior for Exchange, and can it be changed?

    It so happens that I have an XP VM with Outlook 2007.  That having been said, as previously mentioned, before testing, I (thought I) could confirm the same consistent behavior in the following configurations:
    WinXP + Outlook 2003
    Win7 + Outlook 2010
    Each of these systems was using a different user account, and I have tried folderview repairs in EMC to no avail.
    Strangely, WinXP + Outlook 2007 does not appear to exhibit the behavior.  In this test case, the profile and OST were just created, but switching to folderview or moving the reading pane to the bottom did not affect the behavior.
    Given that information, I proceeded to re-verify, and I hadn't checked winXP + Outlook 2003 because the computer in question had been upgraded to Outlook 2010.  However, I verified the issue does still exist there.  Next, I proceeded to check another
    computer that I thought would be WinXP + Outlook 2003, but it had also been upgraded to Outlook 2010.  This computer did not have the issue, and this leads me to a new theory about the cause (but no closer to resolution).  For the record, of the
    three computers (two exhibiting the issue, one not), only one has the Adobe plugin mentioned in my last post in response to Diane Poremsky, so the issue doesn't appear to be related to that.
    That said, my theory follows:  This is somehow related to IMAP in Outlook 2010.  The computers that exhibit the issue were all previously running IMAP in Outlook 2010, and the IMAP PST filse were imported using the MailboxImportRequest feature. 
    I suspect this is related because of other issues that happen for these accounts.  For instance, all new e-mail was only visible in OWA and not Outlook on all folders on these accounts, and I have had to have the users reset filters in the view settings
    for each folder individually.  I don't remember exactly which filter was somehow imported, but it definitely had to do with IMAP.  This may be another red herring, but the behavior is consistent with it.  I should also note that this behavior
    did NOT exist when they were connected via IMAP to the old (non MS) server.  I should also note that the filter behavior is somehow stored on the server (and therefore I imagine the delete button behavior could be as well), because creating a new Windows
    Profile  (and as such, a new Outlook profile and OST file) on a new computer did not make the IMAP filters go away.

  • Is it possible to disable 'Lync 2013' options inside of Outlook 2010? If so, how?

    I would like to disable/eliminate everything Lync 2013 related inside of my Outlook 2010.  I want to disassociate all its relations with Outlook, but keep it everywhere else.  
    More specifically, in Outlook, I'd like to keep the original (pre-Lync) option of knowing where persons are (i.e. 'Free', 'Busy until 4:00pm', etc). This option is shown when you open a new email, add a recipient, and hover over their name. It would
    normally say things like 'Busy until 4:00pm' or 'Free'. Now it just says their Lync location (ex. 'Presence Unknown' since most of the company does not have Lync), and I need it to go back to the original setting.
    I also dislike the 'Frequent Contacts' option, so if that could go away, that'd be great. 
    Things I've already tried so far:
    In Outlook: Disabling the Outlook Lync Add-in 'Lync Meeting Add-in'
    In Lync:
    Personal/Personal Information Manager - Changing drop-down to NONE (from Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook)
    Personal/Location - Unchecking 'Share my location info with other programs I use'
    Contacts List - Unchecking 'Contact Status'
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Kara526,
    Outlook reads the following registry key in order to display presence information within Outlook.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers
    REG_SZ: DefaultIMApp
    The default value is “Lync”, please delete
    “Lync” and restart outlook.
    Best regards,

  • Cannot send email from Outlook 2010 without disabling iCloud Outlook Add-in

    I have seen a few discussions on this but no answers. I have bought a new PC. Installed Outlook 2010 and iCloud latest version 3. All seems to work fine but emails go into the Outbox and dont get any further. If I remove the iCloud Outlook Add-in then I can send my emails but of course now cannot see my contacts nor my calendar! So it's one or the other and I'm currently going backwards and forwards between each. I have uninstalled and gone back to an earlier version 2 of iCloud with no success, same problem. I have uninstalled that and now reinstalled version 3. The problem remains. Can you advise on how to solve this please?

    Then it has nothing to do with iCloud, contact Bell and if they can't help, Microsoft

  • Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

    I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up.  Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
    the email due to this message.
    For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server.  I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
    to that.
    What's up?

    Hi,
    I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
    "Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
    set it as the default mail client."
    You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
    I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
    will try my best to help you.
    Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
    Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
    ===================
    1.      
    Click Start.
    2.      
    Type "default programs" in the
    Search box.
    3.      
    Click Default Programs under
    Programs in the search results.
    4.      
    Now click Set your default programs.
    5.      
    Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
    6.      
    Click Set this program as default.
    7.      
    Click OK.
    Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
    ==============
    1.      
    Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
    Microsoft Office.
    2.      
     Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
    to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click
    File menu, click Options > 
    Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
    Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins,
    clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and
    restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
    restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
    ==============
    We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
    in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
    For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
    For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. . If anything is unclear or if there
    is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Outlook 2010 apostrophe, single and double quotes are changes to question mark while sending mails to other internet receipient.

    We are using MS Outlook 2010 as our mail client. But we have noticed that whenevr we sent a mail to any other internet mail recipient all the "apostrophe", "single" and "double quotes" have automatically converted to ?. We have
    done almost all the workaround found in this site such as
    1.New a message and focus on the message window > click File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect… > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options… > AutoFormat > clear the box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes”
    2. Used different encoding. We presently using US-ASCII for outgoing message. etc.
    Need your help to sort out these issues urgently.
    Waiting for a solution.

    Hi,
    What is your account type? IMAP, POP or Exchange?
    Send an email from the webmail, ask the recipient if this issue persists.
    As far as I know, this problem is always related to the encoding for outgoing messages, and here I suggest you try UTF-8:
    Go to File -> Options -> Advanced -> International options -> Uncheck "Automatically select encoding for outgoing messages", then select "Unicode (UTF-8)" beside "Preferred encoding for outgoing messages" -> OK.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

    I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes.  For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it.  Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict.  The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did.  But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours.  So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict. 
    Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes.  If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
    I have already tried:
         checking latest version of iPhone software
         in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
         using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
         resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
         trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
    The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete.  I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data).  I'm not getting any error message.
    This is what I'm using:
              iPhone 5
              iTunes version 11.1.5.5
              iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
              Windows 7 Home premium
               Outlook 2010
              Asus G74SX computer
    It is March 27, 2014.
    Suggestions welcome.  I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best
    Alex
