How can I make Outlook 2011 keep fonts as I set them?

When I send an email from Outlook 2011, the fonts I have set don't seem to hold. When a Windows user replies, I can see my original email has lost its formatting with the text showing in a variety of different fonts and sizes. This makes for an unprofessional looking communication. Using plain text is not an option as we have coloured email signatures as part of our branding. The signature does seem to hold its fonts. I have tried the workaround of putting a couple of blank lines with my desired formatting at the beginning of my signature and typing my message in those lines when I send a new email. This doesn't seem to work all the time though.
This seems to be an old problem still unaddressed by Apple or Windows or whoever is responsible. Is there another solution which doesn't involve using plug-ins which also seem to have varying results and can carry ads?
If Apple wants to take over the world, they really need to get to grips with what the professional/commercial world needs from an operating system! I am forced to use a Mac these days for business and while I find some of its attributes cool, whizzy and sometimes useful on the whole, for business use, it falls far, far short of Windows' capabilities and reliability.
Help!

This has nothing to do with Apple "taking over the world" It has to do with the fact that you're probably using fonts that are not installed on the recipients computer. Stick with standard web or Microsoft fonts and you'll be fine.
For further questions regarding Office, you should probalby post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software since it's their stuff you're asking about:

Do you mean a flash drive? I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely. Make sure you make a backup.
Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive. If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again.

How can I make my iPhone keep trying to send a text until it finds service?

While riding where cell coverage is spotty, I want to be able to reply to an SMS, put my phone in my pack and keep riding. What happens now is, if there is no service, the iPhone gives up and doesn't keep trying to send the message. The next time I stop and check my phone, instead of having a new message, I just have an undelivered warning. Is there a setting I can change to make it keep trying until the SMS is sent?

No.

How can I make Outlook use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and can I turn IE off without hurting anything else on my machine?

I would like to use Firefox for Outlook Express. I can't find an option in Outlook or Firefox to make Firefox the default to access the web for email through the mail client.
Also, is there a way to stop IE so that it isn't used at all by any program in my machine?
Thanks

Matt,
I've tried that. When I go to outlook express, then to tools, options, then connections tab, it says "Outlook shares your connections with Internet Explorer, click the change button to modify these settings", but I don't see a way to do that. It just offers the option of changing settings for connecting to the internet, not which browser.
I'm stumped

How can I make my Mac Indesign fonts look right on Windows machines?

I have a nice document formatted on my Mac that uses several "dfont" suitcases. They look like crap when my colleagues open them using InDesign on Windows. I can't see how to get those dfonts unpacked so I can give them to my Windows counterparts. Is there a really definitive resource on font handling for cross-platform environments?
Christian Harder

For best cross platform font compliance, get into the habit of using OTF versions of fonts. dfints are Mac only and should be avoided if a job is going to round trip between PC and Mac. The CS install disk comes with a good selection of OTF fonts.
PC true type fonts can load on a mac but mac true type won't load on a PC. So you can reformat the job on the PC with true type fonts and then copy and load the pc true types onto your mac. OTF fonts are designed to work on Macs and PCs.

How can I make my ipad delete emails as I delete them on my laptop

I usually look at my emails at home, in the office, or while traveling but only on one device. Is there a way that I can set my IPAD so that when I delete an email from my laptop, that it will simultaneously delete from my IPAD?

Hi lynnfromgrandy,
Whether you can keep your email accounts synchronized across devices depends on what type of email account you have. IMAP, for instance, is a mail account that keeps all messages and their locations on the mail server. Thus any device will automatically update as long as it is connected to the Internet. Apple's iCloud mail is an example of this.
POP accounts, on the other hand, do not do this, and thus email received and deleted on one device may be received again by another device and have to be deleted from there.
Contact your mail service provider to find out which type of email account you have.
See this article for reference -
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

You can go to Applications, Utilities, Activiy Monitor to see just how much space is available. To free space you need to remove files that take a lot of space, things like videos, photos, music. Get an external hard drive, OWC http://www.macsales.com has a good selection, and move material off the internal drive.

I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems. It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.
