How to edit a text message received in Outlook 2013?

I have a user who has configured his phone to automatically forward text messages to his Exchange account.  When he opens the message in Outlook 2013 he'd like to be able to edit the message like he was accustomed to do in Outlook 2003.
For a normal message, of course, he could click on Actions, Edit Message and start editing.  For the text message (SMS) though, the Actions button does not show up.  (Outlook may be using a different form for text messages?)
Forwarding the message to himself is not an acceptable workaround.
Asking users to send messages to his email address instead of his text message phone number is not an acceptable workaround.
Is it possible to edit a text message in Outlook 2013 or would we have to move to an older version of Outlook?

Hi,
Let’s begin with the answer in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/cc895374-fef6-4255-b3f9-393ca17f0553/outlook-2013-wont-send-sms-texts?forum=outlook
“They removed SMS support from Outlook 2013 because of low use.”
Thus, it’s by design that there is no option to edit the SMS message in Outlook 2013.
To confirm it , you’re welcomed to post the question on our Office forum:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

  • How can I edit a text message feed

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.4 and I can't edit my text message feed.  How can I do that?

    You can only delete messages frmo a text-message conversation - not edit them . Under iOS 7, you'd need to long-tap on a single message then tap "More...". You will now be able to select multiple messages in a thread and delete them.

  • How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone?

    How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone -- so I do not receive any texts. I do not have nor currently want an AT&T text plan, and I really don't want to be charged .20 for the text messages that will inevitably be sent my way from friends & coworkers who do not know I don't want texts.
    AT&T had a link only for blocking spam texts, but I don't think this will stop standard SMS texts.
    Anyone do this? Does this involve a call to AT&T. There must be a way to disable it, no?
    Thanks in advance!

    You would have to ask AT&T if they can turn off your text capabilities.

    How do I send text messages from my Ipod touch?  The "send" button does not light up.

    First of all, you need you have at least iOS 5 installed. Second, the person you are texting must have an iDevice with iOS 5 or higher installed. You can´t send messages to an non-iDevice. You´ll also need an Wi-Fi network to send iMessages. Hope it helped!

    Hi,
    I believe the phone uses Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) therefore you can use one of these applications:

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

    how do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
    First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
    10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
    While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

  • How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
    If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
    Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Good day!
    The question seems to provide insufficient information for a relevant answer.
    Do you have the font?
    Is the text a (Type) Layer of its own or part of the image?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

  • How do I forward text messages to my email?

    How do I forward text messages to my email? I watch my email inputs. It would be convenient to have announcements of text messages arrive via email. Oherwise I have to login to comcast every time I want to find out about text messages. Being of the text-message-illiterate generation, I get very few text messages. So checking for them is mostly futile. If they were forwarded to my email, I would not have to look in two different places.  

    After considerable poking around I found the right preferences page. I have forwarded ny text messages to my email !
