Hi - I have office 2011 for Mac, version 14.5.2 latest install. I have 2 IMAPS on my Imac and Macbook Pro Laptop and since installing Yosemite my passwords for the two IMAPS just won't save. I have been top apple but they say it is a software compatibility problem with Office. I have tried reinstalling the two IMAPS but it doesn't seem to help - any ideas? It is very frustrating having to keep on putting in passwords - it doesn't just happen when the computers are turned on - it happens constantly,

I copied an identity folder from an external drive to a freshly installed osx. the outlook version on the old and new installs are identical. after the copy, outlook didnt see any of my local folder. I tried a rebuild numerous times but kept getting you identity couldn't be rebuilt error 5000. I went to disk utility and fixed the drives permission without luck.
Any idea's on how to restore my identity folders from an external drive?
Hi,
I have a problem: I use mac and parallels desktop installed and when I send letters from outlook (windows desktop) the pictures and layout always change their forms and sizes when the recipients receive my letters. I often write official letters to the colleagues and this situation is pretty uncomfy.
How can it be fixed? Or I'd rather buy a windows laptop?
Thank you,
Evgenia

Here is one that had me pulling my hair out a bit.
Have iMac mid-2011, which has been happily running Office 2011 for years.
Last year our company tried Adobe CC, which was a nightmare: its desktop installer/updater constantly conflicting with OSX ( messing up permissions) and crashing constantly with EVERY update (which were numerous). Finally after many wasted hours and fruitless uninstalls, cleanings, re-installs we have pulled the plug on Adobe forever - cancelled our CC subscription and have found excellent alternative (non-adobe) media editors to actually GET SOME WORK DONE.
But the aftermath of the Adobe headache was substantial, the machine was basically crippled from all that OS corruption that Adobe had inflicted on it. The Apple techs gave up after several hours and suggested the best fix would be a complete WIPE and fresh clean install of OSX. OK!
But as luck would have it, there was some glitch with the Apple servers last week, and it literally was six days ( and several hours with tech support) to get an Apple OS installed. No kidding! And all it would finally offer when it did connect, was OSX "Lion"! But beggars not bein' choosers, that was downloaded, installed, and duly upgraded to 10.10.4 without further incident.
So... a bunch of applications to install, the first being Office 2011. Ran the installer, and within the hour it was installed. Software update suggested a critical office update (14.5.1, i think) and though we had had numerous issues with its immediate
predecessors, I somewhat rashly decided to install it. OK!
Then opened up Outlook and proceeded to hook up my five exchange accounts. But NOT SO FAST... actually, it won't connect with ANY exchange account. I tried several, and every case it refused to complete the account setup, citing bad username or password. Checked with my Exchange provider, they were puzzled. They tested the same accounts locally, and had no problem. Seems the issue was with my workstation!
Undaunted... I did that careful Multi-step "complete office 2011 uninstall" that is documented online. Rebooted, and re-installed office 2011. This time - DID NOT INSTALL THE OFFICE UPDATE! And guess what? No problem connecting up my Exchange accounts now!
I imagine that after I get all my accounts in, it will 'probably' be safe to apply that pesky Office Security patch. As we eventually had it working (with some grief) the last time. But I'm going to wait till all my mail loads, and run the full backup FIRST.
Just thought I would share this, in case someone else might have the same situation in the future!
I work from home for a large company and have an exchange email account on my Outlook 2011 via which I send company emails. I'd also like to add to my Outlook a few other email accounts (eg. Hotmail) but am not sure if my company via the exchange account will also be able to view email communication from these other email accounts.
Could someone please advise me?
