Office applications missing in Automator Library

02. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hi there,

I am new to the Automator and was looking to build a new service using Outlook. I wanted to be able to select a file and send it as attachment using Outlook via the services menu.

But I am unable to find Outlook or any other MS Office objects in the Library of Automator. Screenshot attached. 

Is there a trick to add them into automator options? Thanks

Loukik.

Outllook addresss book sync to Apple contacts

I have latest version of Apple OSX, (Mavericks) and their office applications and latest version of Office for Mac 2011, including Outlook 2011 version 14.3.9.  For some reason the automatic syncing between Outlook address book and the Apple Contacts app has stopped working since upgraded to latest version of the Apple OSX 10.9.1.
I need to use Outlook in the office environment and have little choice on that.
I use an iphone so especially need iphone address book to be up to date with the MAC version of contacts, which used to sync with Outlook address book.
Apple  forums direct queries to MS forums because functionality stopped working when I upgraded to latest version of OSX, but they seem to imply that proble lies with MS.  Which I feel is a cop out but there we are.  I am caught between 2 giants and cannot get a sensible answer

Can anyone clearly tell me why the sync of 2 address books stopped working, is it an Apple or MS issue to fix, and is there a timeline to fix or a practical alternative to keep these 2 address book/contact applications in sync.

Failing this I will have to drop all MS products from my Mac and go 100% native Apple, but given my many years of MS Office experience this would be a difficult change and a retrograde step.

In advance, many thanks for advise and direction provided

Outlook is hung up at the product splash screen with the message "Searching for identity...". How do I resolve issue. All other Office applications function properly?

I began getting a rebuild Outlook data base message about a week or so ago...rebuilt the data base as requested then the system would not open and gave me a "not enough memory error". Unable to get into Outlook at all as the error message pops up every time I try to get into Outlook.  All other, Office applications work fine. How do I fix. I have a MAC Pro 4 core Tower.
