i am curious about this update. did they fix the following problems with outlook?
- word wrapping problem:
wraps ugly and wrapped links are broken
- spotlight problem:
attachments are not indexed
- attachment saving problem:
saving all attachments from a bulk selection of emails is not possible
still no support for spotlight indexing of attachments. they have to be saved to a folder outside of outlook, but outlook can not save attachments for a selection of several emails. attachments have to be saved individually for each and every email. major headache if you have hundreds of emails with attachments that you need to be spotlight indexable. if you are still using Entourage, stay away from outlook. i am also having problems with spellchecking and word wrapping. simple things like answering emails will f*@k up the wrapping. also links that are wrapped will be broken. So Outlook is a step backwards in most respects.
Is it possible to have Office 2008 and Office 2011 installed on the same Mac without any conflict? I bought Office 2011, but I want to revert to Office 2008, mainly due to the problems with Outlook (that replaces Entourage).
i am extremely disappointed over office 2011. most of all due to outlook. it is buggy and it does not have many of the features of entourage. outlook does not handle even basic things like support for spotlight indexing of attachments and basic wrapping functionality for text in emails. emails look horrible if they are resent or answered because of this wrapping problem.
go and get office 2008 instead. you will stay young longer and not grow gray hairs like i have waiting for an update.
Can I use this to export from Outlook and then import emails back into Entourage? Upgrading from Entourage to Outlook was the biggest mistake I have made in 10 years of using a Mac. I now have 3 months of emails that I will loose if I revert to Entourage with out some kind of export and import solution.
Highly reccommended to check your drive for files taking up space. This software made it easy for me to localize a lot of huge files that I did not need any more.
I like this program, but it is very weak when dealing with spotlight searches of PDF documents so I can not use it a my primary PDF reader/editor. When spotlight finds and opens a PDF with the keyword you have entered, you have to enter the keyword again into the PDFPen search function to locate the keyword position within the document. Other PDF readers and editors including Apples standard Preview handle this with out any problems and present you with the keyword positions automatically. Does anyone here know of another PDF editor that works like Preview in this respect?
i deeply regret the day i upgradet to office 2011 from the fully functional, albeit slow, office 2008. the new office 2011 is slower and outlook is giving me a lot of frustration. it is much slower than entourage and can not keep up with my slow typing for the address field. this causes a lot of emails to go to the wrong address. also it does not remember addresses as well as entourage and a lot of keyboard shortcuts have been removed. steer away from this version if you are a heavy entourage user, and wait for the next update.
will reverting to an older version screw up my chat history? i am worried about this, but the new skype version is unusable for me. i can not rely on it for work purposes. it hangs and crashes and makes a ringing noise even after i pick up the call. extremely annoying to hear the ringing when you are in conversation with a customer.
