Hi,
After using Palm Desktop for so long, I was forced to use Outlook because
the new Palms all came with Windows Mobile.
My new Palm 500v came with Windows mobile 6 and cannot sync with my
Outlook97. Having been forced to pay a bomb for Office2007 and discard my
trusty and faithful Office97, I've spent umpteen hours trying to create a
view that was functional and appropriate like Palm Desktop. Unfortunately,
the results are still significantly below par. Perhaps because its my first
time using Outlook. Well, I've used Excel for years and it took my quite
many minutes (LOL) to figure out how to print from Excel2007. Couldn't find
the print icon, couldn't find the drop down menu, kept playing with all the
options in the page layout. Why couldn't they keep it simple like it used to
be?
Anyway, I'd be grateful if someone can help me with the following. (pardon
me if it was a really simple thing, I'm really new to Outlook)
Contacts view: detailed address card.
1. It has a limited length and does not show all the notes. I have to open
it up and scroll down the notes to see everything. Can I increase the size
or perhaps (like palm) have a list on one side and the details on the next?
Can I also do this in Notes?
2. For cards with lesser details, there is an "<end>" at the end. How do I
remove this? Makes me wonder why they put it there in the first place, the
border works fine. This also occurs in the notes.
3. In palm, I used and renamed all my user field but i couldn't find any
way of doing it in Outlook.
4. Can I remove the "123", "a", etc tabs from the side
In calender
1. How do I get the day view to show the entire workday instead of
scrolling up and down?
2. When I transferred my files from PalmDesktop to Outlook, 6000+ entries
were made. 2839 of them keep appearing in the reminders. Couldn't dismiss
them saying they were made before the due date. Couldn't "open item",
Couldn't "dismiss all". Just had to close the window and it pops up again
after an hour or so. All the reminders were for the past 3 years. Earlier
records somehow worked.
3. In the Month view, can i remove the week tab?
Thanks in advance
Sonny
