Mail Merge embedded into Outlook Form template - Outlook 2013 - possible???

G'Day!
After some learning, I've been able to create a form outlining a few things I need the mail-out to contain....but now I need to embed the Mail-merge from .xls listing into the message box at the top of the form.
I can mail-merge and I can promote the form to the end users/recipients - but can I combine the two into one email-out to around 2000 people?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks!

You can't use the default Mail Merge feature to merge to a custom form. You'll need to use VBA to automate this instead.

Is it possible to merge addresses into a formed letter?

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a mailing list of names and merge them into a formed letter or use on envelopes?

Yes, most of the existing templates do that already.
If you want to set it up yourself:
Menu > Insert > Merge Field
The source data can come from a Numbers table or better from Contacts/Address Book.
Look up Personalizing Documents with Address Book and Numbers Data page 246 in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

ICould prevents reply e-mails from sending in Outlook 2013

iCloud add-in prevents reply e-mails from sending in Outlook 2013. The Reply messages stay in Outbox. The Italic title returns to normal instantly. Any ideas to correct problem?

Hi,
Based on your description, users can move messages that don’t contain attachments to any other folders without any problem( not only subfolder of the Inbox ), and there is problem to move messages that contains attachment to whatever folders, right?
Please check this issue in OWA.
Please use the 'Move' operation from the context menu of the item to check this issue in Outlook.
Please switch to a PC not joined your domain to check this issue.

How to insert application form id into the form template

Hi,
Is there a way to set the application form id into a form template designed from the LiveCycle Designer? Here is the detail description of my question:
(1) I am using LiveCycle Design to design a form template.
(2) I go to our application to deploy this form template. During the process, a form id will be generated and it will be associated with this form template.
(3) I would like to insert this generated form id into the form template, so that later when user fills out and submits the form, I will know what's the form id the submitted data belongs to.
Appreciate you kind help!!!

Hi Justin,
Yes. The form ID will be generated by our application during the form deployment process (after the form is designed, it needs to be deployed to our application before it can be used.). So I was hoping there is a way to set the form ID into the form template design at that point. So that later when end user fills out and submits this form, I will know what form ID it is related to.
If I cannot do this at the deployment point, one way I can think of is to do it at the time when end user is downloading the form. I can return a "rendered" form (instead of opening up the form template directly) with the form ID information in it. But that means for every single form user opened we need to render it at run time to fill in the form ID, which is not performing and what I was trying to avoid.
Thanks for your help!

Importing Archive File into Outlook 2013

We got a couple of new PCs for some users and one of them had an Archive folder in Outlook 2010. I still have the archive.pst file from the old PC and I'm trying to import it into Outlook 2013 but it's not working. It seems pretty straight forward but
after I choose the archive.pst file, it doesn't actually add anything. Am I missing a step?

Hi,
Please do the following steps to copy your archive.pst file to Outlook 2013 and open it:
1. Open Outlook 2010 in your old PC.
2. Click File > Open > Open Outlook Date File.
3. Copy the location of the Archive file from the opening windows(example: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Outlook Files).
4. Close Outlook 2010, and paste the copied location in Windows Explorer and Enter it.
5. Copy the Archive file. (To double check the file is copied completely, we can paste it in the local old machine and open it to have a test.)
6. Paste the copied Archive file in new PC.
7. Open Outlook 2013 in new PC.
8. Click File > Open&Export > Open Outlook Data File, expand the location of your pasted Archive file and open it.
Then check whether there are any messages in the opened archive folder.

Can not import Outlook 2007 .CSV or .PST files into Outlook 2013 on Win 8.1 64 bit

I have a new computer (Sony VAIO Pro 11 Ultrabook) with a brand new install of Win 8.1 - 64 bit and MS Office 2013 Professional Plus. Everything works fine EXCEPT I can not import my contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007 Win 7 - 32 bit into the
.msn folders in each case. I can open .pst files in Outlook 2013 but they open in a local file and when I copy and paste them into the Exchange ActiveSync .msn contact and calendar files so that they will sync with Outlook.com Outlook 2013 crashes.
It can't even be reopened unless the wireless is turned off, and then you have to create a new data file as a default and then delete the old account and re-establish it. I have tried using the import functions as well with both
.CSV and .PST files that were exported from Outlook 2007 and an error message stating that this is not supported comes up. I have also tried to turn on sync with my iPhone to see if the files will sync from the phone through Outlook.com and nothing happens
there either - no sync on the web and nothing at the PC. Email works fine after adding the account again etc.
None of the procedures on the forums work (open PST file in the local folder then copy/paste, drag/drop, or move the files) so please don't respond with those links. All result in crash. Does anyone at MS know what's up with their latest
and greatest SW?
Thank you for your assistance.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

How to enable mail trail lines in Outlook 2013 conversation view

I was wondering if this feature still exists in Outlook 2013.
In Outlook 2010, when using conversation view, you can see the trail lines showing the "conversation tree". Please see the first image at the following link (can't post direct link or image as my account, though should be, is not verified): office.microsoft{dot}com/en-gb/outlook-help/view-email-messages-by-conversation-HA010362041.aspx
The closest feature in Outlook 2013 is Use classic indented view in Conversation Settings but it only indents the messages.

So, what exactly is the benefit of Outlook 2013? As far as I can tell all they've done is let me see less mail (because the fonts are gigantic now), ruin the interface (with all the color and icons gone it's harder to find things), ruin the text rendering
(some parts use ClearType and some ignore it), and remove features (search from start menu, conversation threads line, etc).
I get it, now it looks like a phone, because obviously smartphone email is what we should aspire to. A+ work.

Outlook 2013:Possible to remove/edit layout header in mail preview pane?

I get many hundreds of emails a day. I need to glance quickly at the first paragraph or so of an email.
Can't do that, because the top of the reading pane is 100% NOISE (reading pane at bottom). It's an oversize repeat of what is in the email list, and, on smaller screens, blocks 100% of the email message. If I want to see a picture, and all the other
extras, I can open the email. In 99.9% of all my emails, the picture is a placeholder anyways.
And if you click on it to try and scroll it, you mostly get the empty placeholder social crap to pop up, causing even less efficiency, as you try to get it closed. Seems to be designed for light, casual use, not for IT professionals.
So, can the layout be edited? Nothing that I can find so far.
Rick Hantz

This is driving me crazy too! Enough that I have wasted an hour of business time to try and find a solution. For some, this may be a casual social application. But, for everyone I know it is a business application. For those of use that want "information
at our finger tips" an option for a compact header would be great. It's too bad we can't edit the entire header display.
Perhaps the dev team could offer us a header view dropdown that offers none, compact and social.
So far I have been disappointed with the general design of Outlook 2013. All of the office tools are used by myself and my peers as business tools not casual social media interfaces. An application should be designed of it's audience and not driven by trends.
Additionally, I also agree with all of the messages I have read on the internet complaining that the flat grey look is not easy on the eyes; perhaps distracting, possibly wasting productivity time. I have make sure my laptop screen is positioned just right
so I can distinguish one thing from another. I have tried the limited grey color choices.
Lastly, is there a way to stop the scroll bar from popping on and off as I go back and forth from the Outlook folders and the list of messages pane? I have a lot of folders and a lot of messages. Aside from
the visual annoyance of it's flashing on and off, it is annoying to not know where my scroll bar handle is when I am moving my mouse into the folders pane. I would prefer just to have it on at all times.
Thank you, Bob

Unable to sync Mail/Calendar/Contacts with Outlook 2013

I'm using the latest version of iCloud Control Panel to sync with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8, but I don't have the option to. Where there should be a checkbox on the Control Panel for Mail, Contacts, Calendars etc. there is just a message saying that these are 'available at iCloud.com'. I've searched through iCloud.com and can see no way to change this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Control Panel, with no effect. I have checked Outlook Add-in management and the iCloud Add-in is active.
Does anybody have any idea what's happening?

I Installed office 2013 64bit on W8 64bit with icloud 2.1.1 (2 email account as imap) and everything works ok !
also with office 2010 64bit on W7 64bit.
Bye.

Outlook 2007 mails are upgraded to outlook 2013 but after uninstalling Microsoft 2007,outlook 2013 are not opening.

Dear Support
Yesterday, i have upgraded the outlook mails 2007 to outlook 2013.Today i have uninstalled the Ms-Office 2007 and try to open the outlook 2013.The application is not working and showing the message of quick repair (or) go to online to fix the issue.
Let me know what is the root cause of the issue and why it has happened?
Is there any option to upgrade the mails from outlook 2007 directly to outlook 2013.
Thanks & Regards
Pradeep.R

Hi,
Both of them rely on some system files and some interrelated registry keys. So, this is a direct result of that interdependence. When you uninstall the previous version of Office from your computer, it will definitely break the existing installation, a repair
is required to fix all the corrupt registry entries.
We do not recommend to install multiple versions of Office on one computer, we suggest you to completely remove any previous version first if you do not plan to use any of the Office applications of a previous version of Office, then install it.
Thanks,

How to import OLM file into Outlook 2013?

Last week, I switched to Windows 8 PC. It works fine but annoying with email application. Previous email backup file of Outlook 2011 (OLM) file was not supported by Outlook 2013 email application.
Can anyone help to fix this one issue?

Hi Smithazus,
You face failure result due to bad practice of email migration. Before importing any email file in to new email client, please make sure few things as follows:
Similar email file format
Awareness with import process
Safe environment for data safety
Outlook 2013 uses PST file which is different from OLM files. In this context, you are advised to convert OLM files into PST file (Outlook 2013 supported file). As any manual method of such conversion is not available, you can try automated software which is developed by third party vendors.
