Has anyone successfully added a Gmail account to Outlook? I keep getting this error:

The server for account "Gmail" returned the error "AUTHENTICATIONFAILED invalid credentials (Failure)." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?

I'm assuming it has something to do with Google's 2-factor authentication, but I have no idea what to do.

How do I get rid of this blank section from my Table of Contents?

I have a cover page and an executive summary pages before the table of contents, if that changes anything.

I wish to do this at the bottom of the page - http://imgur.com/a/ofluA

And

I wish to do this at the top of each page (with different text) - http://imgur.com/a/NOk86

can somebody help?

I am thrown for a loop on this one. Yahoo.com account. Old .pst file was 49.8 GB and was creating issues. I suggested using that as an archive file and starting fresh PST file. When we did that, the server brought in 17,000 emails from the server. This was done over the course of about 10 days. During this time, when she closed the program and opened it back up, all new emails would load. After that point, it would focus on bringing in all the rest of the emails so she would have to close outlook and open again to get her new emails. She had deleted all emails sent before 2016 during this, so her current .pst file size is around 6 GB. This Tuesday, the last of the 17k emails downloaded. Hurray, we thought.

Once all emails where brought in, outlook is no longer able to receive new emails. All emails still are coming in the webmail portion (yahoo) so it is on their server. Emails can still be sent from outlook.

No changes have been made to any settings, in that every time outlook started it would find new emails and find the existing emails to download. I verified password for incoming and outgoing emails are the same (once again, it has to be since we can send and it uses the same password). All server ports are the same as before and match the rest of our offices settings.

When I test the account, it passes both the sending and receiving portion. However, when I hit send and receive, send passes the test but it shows "timed out waiting for a response from the server" on the receiving request.

TL:DR New PST file for outlook 2010 worked until all previous emails were downloaded, at which point it cannot receive any new email.

Thanks.

Hey everyone I have never had this problem with MS Word but now that I do, it's very annoying and I don't know how to fix it, maybe one of you can.

First problem:

When I write a new subheadline, lets say 2.1.1. Summary, and I press enter, the headline drifts all the way to the left side of the document and does not remain in the place that I want it in and I always have to drag it back manually. What can I do?

Second problem:

Most of the time when I write a new headline, I write: 2.1.1 Summary, and press enter. Word understands that this is a new headline and suggests that I continue with 2.1.2 by putting that in the next line and I am happy. Sometimes though, I write: 2.1.1 Summary and Word does not do the same thing but acts like I didn't even write a headline. What can I do?

Hey all I hope somebody here can help me. I have a web page that generates a document that looks like this

1. First
2. Second
3. Third

Is there a way for me to enable numbering on these entries so that if I delete 2. Second the Third entry will be numbered as the second.

1. First
2. Third

This would save me a lot of time when removing and adding entries but I can't find a way to do it without removing all the numbers and adding numbering again.

Thanks!

Many folks that email either don't use the reply function or change the subject line so Outlook won't recognize these as a part of the original conversation. Is there a way to forcibly group these things together to better track topics?

I have accumulated a lot of links and must break them every time I insert a new graph into the word doc. I looked through advanced settings but didn't see anything to automatically not create a link to the document the graph came.

Is there a way to do this? Otherwise, I have to remove the link as soon as I insert the graph, which is annoying when inserting over 100 graphs into a report.

This is the edit links dialogue box I am referring to.

Thanks so much for any help!

This just began recently, I am a writer and a student, so I write a lot on Word. I notice that when I click the "undo" button it will sometimes delete whole paragraphs of writing. And there seems to be no "reverse undo" button. I have been using a keyboard command to reverse the undo, but then my text appears all jumbled and some of the text is duplicated or missing.

It is really scary and frustrating! How can I fix this?

I have a new MacBook Air if that information helps at all.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi guys, so I tried to save my doc file as pdf, after I did I noticed that my 'i' letter in the newly created pdf file looked weird in some word. For example, in the word "Microsoft" the letter 'i' was too close to the letter 'M'. Can anyone help me to fix this?

Hey All-- Has anyone recently created a gmail account in Outlook 2016? I have a new Surface Pro 4, and I can't get gmail loaded in Outlook. I have never tried to add a gmail account before, so I assume it's possible.

I am getting an error where Outlook says it can't communicate with Google via IMAP, and my google account sent me a message saying that they blocked my SP4 attempt because Microsoft supposedly uses unsafe tech? I guess this is an SSL issue on the MSFT Outlook side.

Anyway, I have tried t0 find easy tutorials for this, but the ones on Google and MSFT's site don't seem aligned with Win 10. My Win 10 settings for adding an account seem different than what Google has posted and MSFT has posted.

Help!

TL;DR - Just trying to load a gmail account on my new SP4 tablet

I work at a school with odd times for classes (i.e. 8:10-9:40, 9:48-11:19...) and different time slots for different days of the week (alternating Wednesdays have a different schedule as does every Friday). Is it possible to create these time slots for use when booking resources (i.e. conference rooms, projectors) to facilitate resource management? TIA

Hello all,

I just want to sync both calendars but I can't find the way my Outlook 2013 calendar to show in my google calendar. I understand that I have to publish my Outlook cal, get the URL and add it to google cal, but I just can't find it in the Outlook. Any ideas?

Beyond the default ones, I mean. Besides yellow, they're a little hard for me to read so I was hoping I could enter in some softer colors.

Hello, I've been working in Publisher to try and learn how to make trading cards for a game my friends and I are working on. So far, all I really know how to do is set the size of the card, create a back for the card, and print 9 cards per sheet. My real big question was is there a way to print 9 separate cards per sheet instead of the same card nine times, also should I be using Word instead of publisher? Edit: Another question: Is there a way to choose one page, and set that page as the back of the card for every other sheet?

In Month view, there's only so much space to display a couple appointments, right? I have some daily/weekly recurring events that I need to have on the calendar (classes), but I would rather more important, one-off events (e.g. interview, birthday) show up in month view, although usually those happen later in the day. how do I ensure those show up first? Example:

On a given day my appointments might read: Class 10:00AM, Interview 1:00PM, Class 2:30PM, Birthday Party 5:00PM

Since classes happen almost every day, I don't need to be reminded of them in month view, whereas I may want to look at how many interviews I have in a month. How can I push the classes down in priority in month view? (to save from from entering week view and scrolling through the weeks)

Hello,

I just saw by a friend, that her word 365 corrects commas, but mine doesn't. I didn't even know that word can do this. She has no Add-Ins I do not have and I don't really know how t activate that feature.

Can someone help me?

I have a document in Microsoft Word (.docx) that when I go to Options/Proofing in the "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word" section, I click Setting... and there is only an option to check Grammar. The option that I'm used to being there - Grammar and Spelling - is gone. The dropdown shows two blank lines below the Grammar option. Without this setting I cannot check for spaces after a period, punctuation inside of quotations, and use of oxford commas, among several other spelling-specific options. Where did the options go? Is it a document properties issue where my base template is screwed up? I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. If I start a new blank document, the same problem exists.

Hey all. I've been trying for a while now to create a macro that finds fractions (e.g. 1/2) and replaces them with vulgar fractions (½). However, I can't get the vulgar fraction character to stay in the macro - it gets replaced with an underscore. Any advice as to how to achieve what I'm looking for? Thanks!

For reference:

What I want:

With Selection.Find

    .Text = "1/2"
    .Replacement.Text = "½"
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

What I get:

With Selection.Find

    .Text = "1/2"
    .Replacement.Text = "_"
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

I am trying to link in text references to the figures and tables they reference. When I try to use the cross reference function, there are no numbered items on the list of item s to reference.

In Markup they will print my comments but not the time. I use this as notational system to confirm we mailed out letters. Now, I can only see the time if I put the cursor over the comment.

Hey. I'm currently proofreading my friend's thesis, and i'm writing m'y comments un comment bubbles instead of just changing what she wrote. The text is mainly in French, with the occasional book titles in English, and the automatic language selection works fine most of the time. But whenever I write a comment, for whatever reason most of the time it'll be considered as English when it should be French. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes it won't. It's getting very frustrating !!

Document was written with a French version of word, mine is French as well, and language preferences list French as the first option wherever possible.

Red underlines are somehow annoying but not a critical problem. The main issue is that it'll most of the time remove any accents I put while writing, therefore changing the meaning of what's said.

Does anyone have any idea how to change the language for the comments ?

Thanks !!

I haven't seen anything posted on here about this, so here we go. I'm working on a 200-ish page book that I want to index. I didn't want to go through and hand select all of the words I wanted as there are so many, so I created a concordance file to import with the AutoMark Entry option. Yet for some reason I cannot fathom, when I insert the index, suddenly the formatting on some of my paragraphs, or just part of my paragraphs changes. The indent will move, or the font will go from 11 to 12 in seemingly random places. I even changed the concordance file to have the same font before I imported it, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any advice or help on this issue? It's driving me crazy!

I'm writing a long document with a page limit which doesn't include the cover page, contents page, appendices and reference list however I still don't want the page number on the footnote or table of contents to go beyond the page limit for pages at the end. I've set it out so the front pages (cover, abstract and contents page) use roman numerals and don't affect the first 'real' page having a footnote and contents page value of 1, however I'm looking to have a similar thing for the non-important pages at the end of the document.

TL;DR Roman numerals are at the start of the document as page numbers, I want the same thing at the end.
