Outlook 2007 Copy/paste problem: Small icon of envelope is pasted instead of copied text

I'm using Outlook 2007. When I copy a word doc, pdf, and other files and try to Right-Click-Paste into the message body, I get a small white envelope and yellow lock icon instead of the file. There is no problem when I use the "Attach
file" option from the menu in which the file shows up normally. I am not using any digital signatures or encryption.

Hi,
Would you please provide a screen shot about the icon so that we can understand the problem more efficiently? Basically, envelope with lock icon means Encrypted Message in Outlook.
In addition, please try to open Outlook in safe mode and then test if this issue persists. To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
If still no luck in safe mode, please try to go to Tools >
Options > Other tab > Advanced Options
> Custom Forms > Manage Forms, click the
Clear Cache button and then test the issue again.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Outlook 2007 contact synch problems with iCloud

Running into difficulties synching iCloud 1.0.1 contacts with Outlook 2007. It freezes/crashes outlook quite regularly. The contacts properly synched the the first time but now I'm getting "Couldn't save changes to x items" when Outlook tries to synch with iCloud. The reason given for a particuliar contact is "got no rsrc name for msg?!". If i try again, same message. The other option it to 'delete' which then deletes the contact(s) showing up in the error message from icloud folder in outlook but does not affect them in iCloud. I have no contacts in the default outlook folder. I am only using iCloud contacts on PC and iphone 4s.
The iCloud addin is enabled for Outlook. I removed "contacts with outlook" in the iCloud control panel and re-enabled but this did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions? I've searched for this error message apple's support but do not find any matches.
Thanks,
Rick

OK, I bit the bullet and manually did the only "work around" that I could come up with. When the message, "got no rsrc name for msg?!" comes up I manually noted the 10 contacts at a time from Outlook that were giving problems and choose the only option which did something - I choose the "delete" button. It deletes those 10 contacts from Outlook's iCloud. Taking note of which ones i deleted, then, using my iphone - I located those contacts in the iCloud (as it doesn't delete them from the cloud, but neither are then in Outlook) and made a small modification to each one - e.g. adding a period in the note field, saved and exited the contact. Then I went back to Outlook and refreshed from the iCloud. Sometimes you have to wait 3-4 mintues for the update to come through. If you get a message about a new batch of 10 contacts that have synch error problems, you will need to "X" out and close the dialog box. Sometimes only a few of the modified contacts come through and you need to go back to the cloud via phone a modify those straggler contacts again (adding another period, etc.)
Once all the previously deleted contacts come back into Outlook's iCloud folder, check them off your list as complete. Refresh iCloud on Outlook (mine has a button for this at the top of Outlook bar). You should get your next batch of 10 conflicts. Go thru the WHOLE process for ALL of your Outlook contacts.
I am pleased to say this consumed half of my Saturday doing this incredibly boring and tedious workaround for an obvious bug. I had about 250 contacts. I pity anyone that has 500+ contacts...you many as well throw the PoS phone out and go with an android.
Problem fixed, no more Outlook crashing/hanging or contact synch 'errors'.
all the best....

Outlook 2007 Shared calendars problem

Hi,
We are having a problem with shared calendars in outlook 2007. A colleague went on holiday for two weeks and whilst he was away, he was seeing people accepting new meeting times sent by the PAs but despite being an invitee he wasnt recieving invites and
his calendar didn't update.
His calendar is shared with the PA, and she changes his appointments as and when required. Until this week, this worked no problem. Now, when she changes events on his calendar, he doesn't see the change, even when re-synched it shows no different.
Occasionally, he will create an event himself - he did this today to show me - he created the meeting, invited the board, they all accepted, and then voila, the event was in the board's calendar (showing as HIS event) but wasn't in his calendar at all.
I'm alright at email and exchange but I don't use and know nothing about outlook calendars (I'm still a strong believer in the Filofax ;))
Please help!
Jak

So sorry -- I shut down Outlook and restarted it to find that both add-ins were now present, and everything seems to be working. Unfortunately, I don't know how to delete this thread.

Sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail problem

Hello everybody! I have an issue when I use the sync zone in order to sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail with pc companion 2.10.065
The problem is that some certain fields (like "work 2" number) do not sync at all.
Other fields (like the "webpage" field) sync on some contacts and do not sync on some other contacts.
Is there a workaround on that?

I have just tested this and it seems just as you say that any second number of the same category won't be synced. I think this is a limitation at Google not matching/supporting the exact same PIM filed's.
However I could not replicate the problem with the web page field.

Curve 8520 not syncing OK with OUTLOOK 2007 - Time Zone problems

I have a BB Curve 8520 with OS 5.0.0.136
BB Desktop Manager is Version 7.1.0.33
Desktop PC OS is WINDOWS 7
MS Office OUTLOOK 2007
Time for W7 set to automatic internet update
Time zone for W7/Outlook2007: (-3) Buenos Aires
Time for BB 8520 set to MANUAL (same time as W7 set manually - No network time update)
Manually set BB Time Zone: (-3) Buenos Aires (No auto time zone update)
I do not travel anywhere where I may need automatic time zone change.
The Desktop is set not to sync time from BB with the Desktop PC time.
I set up an appointment in OUTLOOK 2007 at 08:00 hs. When I sync calendar (biderectionally) with the BB, the appointment in BB appears one hour late => 09:00 hs.
If I set an appointment in BB (say 09:00) and sync calendar, it appears in OUTLOOK 2007 one hour ahead (08:00)
If I set BB Time Zone to (-4) Santiago, then both appointment times are the same.
Any clue as to how to solve this strange behavior will be most welcome!
With BB AND DESKTOP PC times equal, and both BB AND DESKTOP PC Time Zone set to the same (say (-3) Buenos Aires), appointment times should be the same in the BB and the Desktop PC.

Morning.
Let's try this. Read through this thread. You probably have a corrupt record somewhere in your calendar.

3GS, Windows 7, Outlook 2007, Calendar Syncing Problems

As above, Sync completes with no issues, Contacts all sync with 2007 fine, but Calendar entries are not syncd either way.
Info Tab in iTunes 10 (latest version just downloaded)has tick in the box to say sync caledars
Please Help!

I had this same problem. The Genius Bar at the Apple store told me the problem was with Outlook. I upgraded my computer with Microsoft Office 2010 and my problem was solved. Fortunately for me I was able to get this upgrade at a steep discount thru an employee discount program. Others won't be so lucky and this "solution" could prove to be rather expensive.
I say this problem was caused by Apple failing to maintain backward compatibility with existing platforms that their IPhone customers are currently using. After all, not all IPhone users ONLY use Apple computers and this problem only occurred after updating the software on my phone to version 4.2.1 and I Tunes to version 10 on my computer.

Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?

Nasty HTML / Outlook 2007 Bug in iPhone 2.0?

Anyone else notice a nasty HTML / Outlook 2007 bug with iPhone 2.0? I've pasted the bug that I submitted to Apple below. So far I've gotten no response. =(
Summary:
I have found a major bug with sending and receiving HTML emails between iPhone 2.0 and Outlook 2007. When you reply to any email that comes from Outlook 2007 that reply will include broken HTML tags as part of the message. As a result, with each additional reply the message will double in size. It appears these additional replies hit the broken HTML tag and then insert another entire copy of the email. This happens with each and every reply, until after four or five when the phone can no longer deal with the message due to size.
Steps to Reproduce:
Send an email with HTML formatting to yourself using Outlook 2007.
Reply to the message from the iPhone. The first reply will be fine.
Reply using Outlook 2007 (make sure the formatting is still HTML).
Reply to the message from the iPhone. This reply will include broken HTML tags, and begin the repeat copies inside the email.
Expected Results:
No formatting issues on replies, no repeat copies of the email inside each reply causing unusable message size growth.
Actual Results:
Broken HTML tags appear in the replies and cause the message to double in size with each reply. An example of some of the tags that show up are things like:
color:#1F497D">
or
font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";font-weight:bold">
They do not have the starting "<", which appears to be the root of the issue. These tags will show up near special HTML formatting, such as links or font changes.
Regression:
The problem always happens on iPhone 2.0 when an HTML formatted reply Outlook 2007 is part of the email chain. This appears to happen with all types of accounts.
Notes:
I'm assuming that with as many people that use Outlook 2007 I'm not the only person to report this. Our company uses Outlook 2007 as a standard deployment and this bug alone is making us unable to deploy iPhones to employees. I'm really hoping that a fix is already in the works and will be in the next update of 2.0!
Thanks.

eric9603,
Have you been able to reproduce this with emails back and forth with any other Mail client besides Outlook that composes in HTML?
Outlook 2007 does not use a browser based HTML generator or renderer. It uses Word's HTML engine for both generating and rendering HTML messages.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Floating fields and fragment subforms in Outlook 2007 do not display correctly

I'm using LCES Forms 8.0 Update 1 to render a non-interactive HTML forms using dynamic content (customer info). The email appears ok in clients except in Outlook 2007.
The Floating text and Text Fields appear multiple times on the form (scattered around their placement point on the form) and the subform fragments are appearing with borders surrounding them.
I have heard that there are issues with Outlook 2007 not displaying HTML correctly. Is there a way to setup the Text Fields/Subforms in Designer so they display correctly in Outlook 2007?
Thanks!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

IPhone-Outlook 2007 Calendar Sync (What worked for me)

Hi;
Today after 3 weeks of day after day trial my iPhone-Outlook 2007 Calenar synch problems seems to be fully fixed. Once again this is what worked for me - I am sharing it and hope that can help you as well:
Overview
========================
I now fully believe that the root cause of the issue starts from a corrupted appoinment entry in your local calendar file. This appointment entry in turn breaks your outlook sync file known as the .OST file. I will tell you how to fix this later. This file is what iTune uses to synch the iPHONE calendar with your Outlook 2007 (same should work for outlook 2003).
In short when the outlooksync.DLL file called by iTUNE, request to sync with outlook - it is the outlook that cannot resolve a corrupt .OST file and all goes to **** after that.
I say this as "This is up to you find this bad calendar entry, get rid of it, get rid of the .OST file, and finally tell Outlook to do a repair job on your outlook installation. I will tell you all how to do this as well.
Steps to fix this issue:
===========================================
1- Go to your outlook calendar and delete any old appointment that still is in there. I got rid of anything older that 2 weeks. To do this just go to your calendar in outlook ... swith to a List view ... sort based on date and highlight anything older than that date and delete. This took me about 30-45 miutes of work... so be paitent with this step. Also, get rid of any holiday notification BS that Outlook puts in your calendar ... you can do this later.
2- Go to outlook-tools-trust center-click on Add-In and then at the bottom of the screen click on Go and validate that your two outlook sync dlls are marked and enabled.
3- Shut down outook and go to the following directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\
Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
and rename your .OST file ... (there should be only one out there).
3- Go to your control panel and do start/stop applications. Select Outlook and click on change ... outlook will come up with a few options. Select "Repair" this should force outlook to replace the .OST file which you just renamed.
4- Now starts your outlook and let it do its initial sync. Make sure iTune is off at this point. After the Outlooks initialization is done ... now comes the moment of truth...
5- Start iTune (I recommend that you select manual sync) and sycn with your calendar.
At this point I learned that all my calendar items have come in ....
Good luck and let me know if this works with you. Please Please remember the first step ... getting rid of your old appointments is the most important step ... don't rush it ... get rid of anything that you don't need.
Cheers;
Darab.

You can try resetting sync history by clicking on edit at the top of itunes and choosing preferences. Then click on the iphone icon at the right top of the window that opens. There is a button at the bottom of the window to reset sync history.
Also, you can try creating a new login on the computer.
Open outlook and put in a few trial events.
Then sync the iphone to this outlook calendar replacing all calendar data on the iphone.
This is to see if you end up with dots on every day.
If you do not end up with dots on every day, then you might want to take a look at any reoccurring events in the other outlook calendar.
Hope this helps.

Error when configuring Desktop Software with Outlook 2007 Calendar

Hello,
I am trying to find some help for a problem I'm having with a Blackberry 8100. I would like to use the Desktop Software 5.0 in conjunction with Outlook 2007 (on Windows 7 64 bits) to sync the calendar between the device and the computer. Actually I pretend to change Lotus Notes (which worked perfectly) for Outlook 2007.
The problem appears during the configuration process on the Desktop Software. I go to the configuration wizard for the calendar, choose Outlook, select bidirectional syncronization and then after clicking Next a small window appears (it happens also with both one-way options).
The window has Error as title and no other text, just an OK button. After closing it the wizard goes on asking for which Outlook profile to sync with. Unfortunately, the drop menu list does not show any profiles, it is completely blank.
I've tried creating, removing and renaming new profiles helplessly, as the error windows appears again and no profile is listed.
How could I solve it? Any idea would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Roger

Some recurring appts created by iPhone cannot be erased in Outlook 2007

Background: iPhone 8gb setup on Mac G5 with iTunes. iPhone was then synced to my PC running Vista and Office 2007. Everything went great, but I foolishly merged all my Calendar reminders from my Mac G5 to Outlook 2007. The problem is that both the "Daylight Savings Time" and "Memorial Day" reminders were merged into Outlook, and now they cannot be snoozed, edited, cancelled, dismissed or deleted. The darn reminders pop up every 5 minutes (unless I leave the reminder window on the screen). Attempting any action with these 2 reminders cause the following error message to appear: "Cannot turn off reminder. You may be reminded again. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment." Why does iTunes create appts in Outlook that cannot be erased? How do I get rid of these appts? Can Steve Jobs come to my house and fix this?
Dell XPS 600 w/ P4 3.46ghz & 500gb mirrored hd's Windows Vista also have 5 mac's in da house!

Awesome! Thank you so much moelpd8!! I've been trying to figure this out for hours! I should have come to the forums first...
Good luck to the rest of you!

Vista & Outlook 2007 won't syncronize to my 6133 p...

I am running Vista Enterprise and MS Outlook 2007 on a laptop. All security / updates have been applied. I have PC Suite 6.83.14.1 on the system. From the web pages, this is proper one to connect to my 6133 phone. I am using a USB cable to connect.
When I try to syncronize my Outlook calendar / To-do items it will syncronize 12 of 115 items and then stop. I get cryptic warning message in the sync tool:
"PC Sync was unable to locate your Outlook message store"
I called support and got an "explanation" that Outlook 2007 is the problem and my laptop has to be off the LAN for it to work. Guess what???? That did not help.
My old laptop running XP and Outlook 2003 worked just fine so this tells me it is not an issue with the phone.
Has anyone else seen a Vista/Outlook issue and do you have a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Ken

As they say on TV, "Doh"!!!
I figured out the problem. I started the Sync tool, selected "Settings", then "Mcrosoft Outlook" tab and then "Select Folders" button. I browsed to the proper folders in Outlook (Calendar, Tasks, etc). Select OK enough times and retried the sync.
It worked.

Make icloud contacts the default contact folder in outlook 2007

Recently Outlook 2007 Contacts defaulted to the Contacts folder under My Contacts instead of the Contacts in iCloud folder under iCloud. The iCloud folder is at the top of list but Outlook does not default to it when I open Outlook 2007. How do I change the default folder that opens when I start Outlook 2007?
Here's what I see.
CONTACTS
All Contact Items
(Drop Down Menu)
    Search these date files
          Personal Folders
          Archive Folders
          iCloud (check marked)
          [email protected]
iCLOUD
     Contacts in iCloud (I want Outlook to default to this folder)
My Contacts
     Contacts (this is the default folder when Outlook opens that I can't change)

Photoshop CS3 & Outlook 2007 - Can't copy and Paste

I've recently converted to win7 and office 2007. Under vista and office 2003 I could select an embedded image in an email, copy it to the clipboard, and then do a file/new in photoshop and paste the image. Every since going to vista and office 2007, this will not work. I can select the image and copy it, but photoshop cannot paste it. The paste command remains greyed out.
I tried copy and past into Microsoft Paint and that works. I tried copy and paste in Paint Shop Pro XI and that works. I tried copy and paste from Paint Shop to photoshop and that works. I just can't copy and paste from outlook 2007 to photoshop.
Is this another "feature" from microsoft?

I just made a quick test with Outlook 2007 and Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 bit on Windows7 64 bit.
From the embedded images that I tried in Outlook there are 2 kinds of selections, one that works and another that doesn't. I'm not familiar at all with designing emails and don't even know what programs, scripting, programing, etc is used for creating and designing emails (I won't mind if someone enlightens me) but when I right click on a image and choose copy on some of the images appear selection handles similar to the transformation box in Photoshop and I can even move the handles in Outlook as if it is going to scale the images but it does nothing at the end. When I copy images with such selection handles they cannot be pasted in Photoshop where Paste menu is dimmed, but can be pasted in other programs like Microsoft Paint and even in other Adobe programs like Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver, but not in InDesign where pasting produced an empty text box. Then if I copy the pasted image from any of these programs I can paste it without a problem in Photoshop.
Now here's the trick, copy and paste works from Outlook to Photoshop if the image doesn't show these slection handlles when I right click and choose copy, but when it does, if I select it in a different way, like a text by dragging between before and end of image to highlight it, then right clicking and choosing copy works without a problem when pasting it in Photoshop.
Have you tried reporting this issue to Adobe? I have made feature requests in the forum for that on this site but I have never reported bugs and don't know what are the channels. If it hasn't been reported, I think they will be interested to know this issue.
