DISPLAY FONT ISSUES IN OUTLOOK FOR IMAC

I have an IMac, Lion operating system. For some unknown reason, my digests from yahoogroups now download in a horrible, almost unreadable font. I just want the old default, easier-to-read font to display. Does anyone know how to reset this? I did not change any settings, but no one seems to know how to do this. Yahoo ignores my inquiries and I do not think it is an Outlook problem either, since the rest of my email does not display in the weird font.
Anby help with this would be much appreciated.

I got as far as getting into the "library" as you suggested, but I find no file there marked

Sorry that was the folders path; the long series of folders and sub-folders you need to navigate to get to the file called "Office Font Cache"
Library -> Preferences -> Microsoft -> Office 2011 (or Office 2008) -> Office Font Cache
- Once you've opened the "Library" folder,
- Open the folder "Preferences" inside of "Library" folder
- Then open "Microsoft" folder inside of "Preferences" folder.
- Then open "Office 2011" (or "Office 2008") folder inside of the "Microsoft" folder.
- Inside "Office 2011" (or "office 2008") folder, you should see a file called "Office Font Cache", which you can put in the trash.
Caches like that occasionally get bloated and corrupted. Once put in the trash, a new fresh one gets created.
When you restart an Office application, you should see an indication that it's updating/rebuilding the Font Cache -- we just threw away the old one.

I can not send pictures from photo via my OUTLOOK for IMAC

I just installed Photo as part of the New OS Yosimete and now I cant send pictures from the library via my OUTLOOK for IMAC

I've opened up a enhancement request with Apple. Photos is not ready for prime time in my opinion. I've tried to work around this issue by trying to attach a photo in Outlook, but the Photos media browser (which worked fine with iPhoto) does not work at all, either. Both of these features work fine when you're using Apple's Mail application. So it's either Microsoft doesn't support the new Photos, or Apple doesn't support Outlook.

Apple Mail Font Issues with Outlook

Have apple fixed this issue with fonts changing and appearing differntly when you send emails to users on Microsoft Outlook. Most of the forums have message posts from 2011 but 2 years on you would think the issue would be fixed.
I have a whole team of computer illiterate staff and can't expect them to change the font format everytime they send an email. It looks so unprofessional sending emails out like this - next step is to switch to outlook for mac - any good feedback on this, I've heard if you have high volume emails working through gmail imap accounts that it just crashes all the time?
Any help or plugins would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Kurt,
Thank you for your response. I am fully aware of what you have just said, and I do follow this basic protocol. The 'gripe' is that it seems that when we setup our message font in preferences one is under the impression this is the font that will be sent out. I later discovered this is only my screen font, and when we compose an email this font (for instance Arial 12pt) is not tagged in the outgoing message. In-fact it is left blank, and the receivers mail will change it to a default such as times new roman. However this seems to create strange changes on the receivers end and sometimes the font can come out huge or varying, there is no consistency and the email looks ugly, As a business owner, my email is my letter head, and is a communicational face of my business.
The issue could be easily resolved with an option for an Apple Mail user to set up what font they want their out going message to be in and for Apple Mail to actually tag that font in the message. Without the 'user' having to each time manually choose this font.
I always use Arial 12pt for my out going message, but it's frustrating that I have to each time select my text and change the font and point size, (which means my screen message font has to be another font and size otherwise apple mail does not pick up the change). What I, and from what I can see many people, don't understand is most Mail Software (if not all), except Apple mail, don’t have this issue. And if I used a different mail app I can choose my out going font such as Arial 12pt, and the receiver will see the same font (obviously providing it's a websafe font), and I don't need to keep telling the programme to make it Arial every-time I compose a new message. This would save time.
I know that this ‘gripe’ is not only myself, and that there is a large number of people out there also annoyed by this, and many Apple uses choose not to use Apple mail simply because of this reason. Which is a shame, because Apple mail in my opinion is the best mail app out there.
I don't expect the programme to be perfect, but this is basic user experience and basic functionality, so why can't Apple correct it? All the amazing features in the world are worthless if the basics ‘user experience’ is not friendly.
I really really hope Apple does something about it, or at least develop a plugin that we can download to sort it out for those of us who want to use mail as I have described.
Attachment Tamer has sorted out the whole compatibility and friendliness of attachments, and I can set up how I want my attachments to work, I do it once and don't have to think about it again. I did have to pay for this function. But I should not have had to. this is not a feature I should have had to plugin, it should come standard with Mail, every other mail software does, so it is a user expectation... And the same goes for how we set up our fonts, in Rich Text, I should only need to set it up once and not think of it again, a general out going font should be a standard function.
As I said, I do ‘put up with it’ mostly because I’m an Apple fan, and In general hugely happy with the Apple products. But should someone have to ‘put up’ with something like this, when it is something so small that should really have been sorted out years ago in the early versions of Mail?
Sorry Kurt, I'm not really moaning at you directly, it's just that its a frustrating non-feature that I can see Apple is not even taking into consideration, and probably will never look at sort out. Why, is the question?

Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

Hi all,
we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
Exchange Server.
We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject
25.02.2015 16:48:52 [email protected].. {}
25.02.2015 17:04:43 [email protected].. {}

25.02.2015 17:13:45 [email protected].. {}
25.02.2015 17:13:55 [email protected].. {}
We can still reproduce the issue on different Mac computers.
Thanks for any help in advance!

This mailheader is from an email which was not sent out:

BB BOLD 9700 sync issues with Outlook for MAC

Hi Support,
I hope that you can help me? I have been having issues with my BB calendar not being able to sync with my Outlook for MAC calendar. I am using BB OS 6.0, Blackberry Desktop software 2.2.0 and Mac OS X version 10.7.2.
I have been able toget around the calendars not syncing but this morning I added iCal to iCloud, stupid move as it erased my entire calendar.
i was wondering if someone could help me restore my Outlook calendar and have my BB and calendar sync properly.
Please Help!!!

Hello and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The BlackBerry Desktop Software needs a local calendar for sync. It does not support the iCloud.
You will need to create a new local calendar in your iCal to continue synchronizing with the Desktop Software.
As for restoring your Outlook calendar, you will need to talk to Apple for assistance.

MSN / Outlook for iMac

I've had MSN as my email for a long time and don't care to change. Msn switched to Outlook a while back and I've been accessing it through Safari.
But my iMac was set up to default to the Mac email software. I'd like the computer to default to Outlook for me. Do I need to download Outlook software? Do I have to pay for it? That seems wacky.
How can I set this all up? Thanks for helping.

This is like a "Who's on first?" conversation where each person is misunderstanding the other.
Emkaybee, as i understand it, you want mail links to open your Outlook WEBMAIL page, is that correct? You neither want nor need the desktop Outlook application (which, as has been pointed out above, is different from webmail), and you don't want your Outlook email account to open in the Apple Mail program.
You can't default the Mac's mail preferences to a webmail page, but try Webmailer. It lets you assign a webmail page to email links you'll find on webpages.

Issue with Outlook for Mac - MS exchange account setup

Hello, after trying to connect the hotmail exchange account to Outlook for Mac 2011 I still can't see account in the left panel. The account is still marked orange instead of green. I can't figure out what is wrong with the settings. Please help!

Hi Vasko,
MAC 2011 is different from Outlook. Sorry for the lack of knowledge on MAC.
I suggest re-creating a new thread on the MAC forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.

Default font issue in Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks.

I'm using Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks. When I copy Chinese text into a Word document, Word for some reason assigns it a Japanese font (MS 明朝). When I try to switch between English and Chinese input methods (command + space), the system constantly defaults to Japanese input. This can even happen if I save the entire document (command + A) in Chinese font (宋体). Where can I change this behaviour? I've looked in Word Preferences and System Preferences but can find nothing.
Notes:
a. This behaviour is not just a Word problem. It never happened in OS 10.6.
b. Please don't tell me to just close the Japanese IME because I also use Japanese.

Apple preferences are kind of irrelevant for Word. The place to look for Tools > Language is in the Word menu itself. And the keyboard/font matching box is in Word preferences/Edit/Editing Options.

HT5313 Does this fix the display resolutions issue with he 24" iMac?

10.7.4 only allows 2 resolutions - neither correct - on the 24" iMac. Does 10.7.5 fix this?

and I must have sent 20+ crash reports
if you have crash reports, then you have a different problem than the one that freezes 20" imacs while scrolling in iTunes, most likely you have a corrupted update, or corrupted iTunes data...
both can be deduced, by a clean install from your original system disks... (after you back up everything, and make sure you have it all, and it is good data)...
the simplest thing to try is to put your iTunes library somewhere else... (a back up would be a good place)...
then reinstall from your system disks, then download the combo updater, and update from that to 10.5.6... once you have that, only put a couple pieces of data into your iTunes library, and use that for a while to see if you have a crash....
if no crashes, then it was either a corrupted install, or corrupted data in your iTunes library...
if no crashes for a while, put 1/4 of your iTunes library back where it is supposed to be... and keep using it to see if there are crashes...
if you do get a crash after moving anything in, take it back out, and check for a while for crashes...
then you can isolate corrupted data that way.

Calendar events issue Outlook for Mac: Failure to update or send notification for meetigns

We are seeing an issues with Outlook for Mac 2011 and calendar events. These events are in the past and Outlook will randomly post errors about the event stating that it has failed to make changes, please contact the original creator.
Additionally, some users are reporting that Outlook will not successfully send meeting cancellation notices to Windows users. All of the server and directory settings are setup correctly. Is there an issue with Outlook for Mac successfully sending
back to the Exchange server here? We're running Exchange server 2007 SP1 and in the midst of upgrading to 2013. Hopefully this and a host of other issues are resolved with 2013.
Thanks.

Outlook for Mac 2011 Calendar issue

Hi guys, hope someone can help.
I am experiencing issues with Outlook for Mac 2011. When users create their own entries in public calendars they can edit / delete them no problem up until about 2 weeks after the creation date. Then only people set to the 'Owner' permission can
edit or delete them.
This is affecting all users. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how to sort it?

Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
iWeb
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Safari
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\
