Outlook 2013 - Tiny Text on first tab field

In Outlook 2013, the text in the first editable field (first tab stop) on custom forms is displaying with a tiny font size (probably 3 point), the rest of the fields are using the correct font size. With some research, it appears the RICHED20.DLL
file is causing the problem. The proposed temporary fix is to replace the riched20.dll file with a previous version of the file, but this causes other issues. When is a fix going to be released for this problem?

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Seems it's a limitation of Outlook 2013 by far and there isn't a fix for this issue now. The only way seems to temporarily fix the problem is as you mentioned: replace the riched20.dll file with a previous version of the file.
You can have a look at this article which described this problem:
http://www.slipstick.com/developer/custom-form/outlook-2013-custom-forms-bugs/
You can click the smiley button on the upper right corner of your Outlook and send your suggestions regarding this problem to our product team. Hope they will come up with a fix soon.

Outlook 2013 - wrap text group policy applied, not working with or without digital signature

Hello,
I'm adding group policies to apply on our new installations of Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. One of the settings being applied is enforcing plain text emails and wrapping text at a certain number of characters. Policies are being added using the Outlook
2013 admx.
When I check the options inside Outlook 2013 the group policy did apply successfully (File, Options, Mail, scroll down to Message Format) The option to "Automatically wrap text at character:" is set to 132 and not adjustable as it should be.
In the group policy I have it set to wrap at 132 characters, but when I go to a client machine and send a digitally signed email, it wraps at the default 76 characters. This makes for very annoying short blocky emails and multi-line hyperlinks.
If I do not digitally sign the email then the text doesn't wrap at all! (until it meets the end of the window). So under no circumstances is it wrapping at 132 where it's supposed to.
Thanks,
-Nick

Hi,
What is your account type in Outlook? Exchange or others?
Please also let me know the email format that you are sending, Plain Text, HTML or Rich Text Format.
You can try sending the same emails in Outlook Safe Mode:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

"From" presence not displaying in Outlook 2013

When running the Lync 2013 client, the presence indicator of the "From" or sender does not display in Outlook 2013. The cc, bcc & to fields all display presence properly.
When I close the Lync 2013 client and the launch the Lync 2010 client, the sender's or "From" presence displays properly.
We are currently running Lync 2010 servers in our environment.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue?

I have certainly come across this behaviour with outlook 2013 against Exchange 2007.
How to repro the Issue?
Open an email in Outlook 2013 connected to Exchange
2007 in cached Mode. Sender of the email has empty personcard.
With Outlook 2013, users are not able to see GAL data for the
sender of emails,
Work around seem to be Using online mode instead of cached mode.
There is a outlook fix planned for this issue however unsure on the Release schedule
Hi Prasanth. It's now the end of May. Outlook 2013 went RTM about six months ago and GA about four months ago and this issue is still not fixed. Are Microsoft still working on a fix or have they given up on it and turned their back on their
users ?
I just installed Office 2013 + all MS updates and am very disappointed as Outlook 2013 is functionally inferior to 2010 because of this for us. I work for a large organisation and this would hold back Office 2013 rollout.

Returning more than 250 search result hits in Outlook 2013

Hi,
I need to search over a very large amount of emails. My searches each have more than 250 hits, and I need to see all results. Currently, Outlook is limiting the number of results to 250.
I have gone to File > Options > Search, and unticked 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown'.
I have also amended my registry, per this article:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/669.
I have restarted my machine, but I am still getting only 250 results.
Does anybody have further suggestions that I can try?
Many thanks in advance,
Keith
R K Howard

Hi,
I tested the registry setting, but it didn't work in my environment.
By default, when we do an instant research in Outlook 2013, it shows the first 30 matches. If we click
More below the results, we will get up to 250 results. However, if we clear the 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown' option, Outlook will bypass the limit and show all results matched. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/find-a-message-with-instant-search-HA102840067.aspx
Please try to delete the registry and untick the 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown' option, restart your Outlook and then check if the option will be ticked again.
We can also try to run a repair of your Office installation to check if it helps. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
Please let me know the result.

Outlook 2013 not responding when creating a new email item in Windows 8

This issue occurs intermittently. No add-ins are running. No anti-virus programs are running. Outlook does not respond and it must be restarted. This issue also affects reply email items and forwarding email items as well.

Hi,
Which type of email account are you using? POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
If you are using a POP3 email account with an Exchange server account configured in the same profile, this issue may happen because the
delivery folder selection is corrupt and you are referencing a nonexistent folder. To fix it, in Outlook 2013, click on the File tab >
Info > Account Settings > Account Settings > Highlight your POP account, then click Change Folder. Select a proper folder to deliver to. For more information, please refer:
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-crashes-when-you-reply-or-create-a-new-message/
If above didn't apply, please follow the steps in the KB article below to troubleshoot the issue:

Hope this helps.

Outlook 2013 stops receiving email

Greetings. I am having difficulty receiving email in Outlook 2013.
When I first start Outlook, it retrieves email without any problem. However, after that initial download, the client will not receive any email. If I exit Outlook, and re-open the application, it will download emails again, but it never updates
again after the initial download.
- Email is Exchange (Office365)
- There are no error messages. Outlook reports it is "Up to Date"
- My phone connects to the same Office365 Email account (via ActiveSync), and receives emails with no problems
- Office365 OWA shows emails as they arrive, with no problems
- Issue only exists in Outlook 2013
- PC is Windows 7 SP1, with all patches
- All Office applications are fully patched
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
It seems that your email can't be received automatically. Please check whether the issue happens in Outlook online mode. If the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, please
create a new Outlook profile
to check whether the issue persists.

How to disable certain text fields in second tab based on the drop down selection from first tab?

My first tab contains a drop down menu which has two options
1. Personal info
2. Office info
The second tab contains all the information regarding Office and Personal Information. But I need to selectively disable certain fields based on the drop down in first tab.
For example,
The second tab consissts of all fields like
Name,
Age
Job title,
Office Location, etc.
And i dont want office related details to be displayed if I am selecting personal info in the first tab.
It would be really great if someone could send me the code for achieving this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vishnu
Can you check the List component in foundation/components ? I think "Build list using" works he same as your requirement. Check the listener they have used in dialog/items/list/items/ listFrom/listeners
"selectionchanged" : function(box,value){box.findParentByType('tabpanel').manageTabs(value);}
here the ExtJs will find the tabpanel with value you are selecting fromdropdown. The title of each panel should match with the dropdown values
Some queries
Disable values means you have to remove it from your CRX?
"values should become mandatory". for tab2? or tab3? - if tab2 and if it is a customized widget then u have to write it in your js only i think.
Thanks

Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient.

Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient. In the TO or CC, if they enter the first initial of a recipient, it auto-suggests recipients. This does not happen in the BCC field. Is there an option to turn that on?

Hi,
Does this issue happen to a certain client or many of them?
There is no separate option to enable/disable auto-complete for Bcc field.
Since auto-complete works in the To and Cc fields, it means the auto-complete is not corrupt. We may try turn off the Auto-Complete and turn on it again to see the result. To do this, go to
File > Options > Mail, scroll down to the
Send messages section, clear the check box before "Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, Bcc lines". Click
OK. Check the box again, click OK and see the result.
We may also test it in Outlook safe mode. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
Please let me know the result.

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:

Hi,
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods to verify the quota status of mailboxes.
Method 1: Use Exchange Admin Console (EAC)
If you want to verify the status of individual mailbox quotas, follow these steps: 1.Log on to EAC by using a user account that is assigned at least the Mail Recipients role.
2.In the feature pane, click recipients. A list of mailboxes is displayed.
3.Select the mailbox of which you want to verify the quota status, and then click the Edit button on the toolbar.
4.Click mailbox usage. The mailbox quota usage is displayed.
Method 2: Use Exchange Management Shell
If you want to verify the status of individual mailbox quota, run the following command in Exchange Management Shell:
Get-MailboxStatistics DisplayName | ft *quota*,*size -AutoSize –Wrap
If you want to verify the status of the mailbox quota for all the mailboxes that are hosted on a database, run the following command:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DatabaseName | ft displayname,*quota*,*size -AutoSize –Wrap

Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email

Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email
I am running Exchange 2013 and I have an end user who connects to it via Outlook 2010. All was going well till he went to forward an email and he noticed that the From button appeared and auto populated the sender's email address.
I have clicked the Empty Auto Complete List in Outlook's Send messages... still displayed the From tab when forwarding.
I recreated the profile in outlook... same thing.
I created the profile with outlook 2013... same thing.
There is only one user profile setup in Outlook.
(I know the from tab usually appears when you have multiple profiles setup in Outlook and/or when you configure the "From" tab.)
I opened the end user's email in Exch 2013's OWA... what was different here was when I clicked on the email and it opened, it did NOT have the Reply or Forward option... and it displayed as a "Draft" email.
Does anyone have any ideas?

So are you saying that the from button is filling the option with the original senders address (eg the person who sent the message to your user), or that it's filling in the your users address (in which case I don't understand what the issue is, since
it IS going from your user)?

BB 10 matching synchronization fields with MS Outlook 2013

I want to chose which field in the contact database of my Blackberry 10 is linked to which field in the MS Outlook 2013 contact database. This feature was available in the BlackBerry Desktop Software, but I am missing it in BlackBerry Link. Can anybody help me?

Good questions!
Lots of info on BB10 has not yet been released, and RIM doesn't always comment on forward-looking issues like that, but they have been much more forthcoming with info on BB10.
Personally, I hope it does do as you ask. Currently, the PlayBook does not hasn't for year and half and nothing announced or fixed on it. I hope it's not the same with BB10.

Not all contacts appearing in "People" tab in Outlook 2013.

Hello.
So the issue is this: An employee at the company will add someone into their contact list in Outlook 2013, and the contact will not appear under the "People" view. The contact will appear in the global address list, but not everyone in the
GAL will appear under the people tab. As far as I know he is the only one with this issue. I've repaired and re installed Office 13, Rebuild the index and updated his GAL and nothing seems to have worked. I have been unable to find a solution online and he
has to sit on it for now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How about in OWA?
If the user appears under the "People" view in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
Please re-create a profile to refresh the caches.
If this behavior remains in OWA, I suggest re-creating the specific user account for testing.
Please make a full back up before re-creating.
Thanks

Outlook 2013 wont send SMS texts

Hi All
I've used Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 for a few years on my SBS2011 system to send/receive SMS texts fine through exchange 2010 to my Samsung S3 and out. I've now updated to Windows 8 and Outlook 2013 and have come across a problem.
If I type in a new SMS message in Outlook 2013 and press send I get an immediate box pop up saying 'Check names' Microsoft Outlook does not recognise '<mobile number>'. There is nothing I can do to remove the box so I can't send. I've turned off the
'check names' option in Outlook to no avail. If I reply to a new incoming text it works fine, but it wont send any new ones..... does anyone have any words of wisdom as to why it seems to be looking to marry up mobile numbers, which should be able to be entered
randomly and manually?
I've tried adding numbers to a contact to no avail, as have enclosed the number in square brackets and added the international code +44..... also to no avail....

But i found an answer that seems to work! Thank you, AT&T!
Re: how to send text message to Cell phone via computer
You need to know the recipient phone's carrier.
If you were texting AT&T phones: 10digitphonenumber at att.net
There is more information if you Google "att send text from computer", but this forum won't let me post links... :)
