A while back, I used to use Outlook Express and Windows Messenger (where this feature was implemented). Later, I have upgraded to Live Messenger, and as you may know, MSN/Live Messenger is not integrated with Outlook Express, so I am unable to view online contacts using Outlook Express. Now I am thinking of possibly switching to Office Outlook (2003). I know MSN/Live Messenger can be integrated with Office Outlook, but the only way that I found to see if a messenger contact is online is to view an email sent from them (the status by their email address). Is there some other way to view your messenger contacts' status in Office Outlook...just as you could with Outlook Express? It seems like there was a way to get a contacts bar on the side, almost similar to Outlook Express, when I have toyed with the program a few years ago, but I could be wrong. Thanks for any help!!

- 1. How do I automatically extract attachements from specific emails?
I have emails from specific email addresses and they always have the same subject heading, am I able set a rule for outlook to save the attachment to a specified location and then move the email into another folder in outlook? - 2. Why can't I open Word files sent to me as attachments?
I have just started using Outlook in Windows XP (after years of use in Windows 2000). I cannot open any Microsoft Word documents sent to me by any users. All other attachment types open without problem. Microsoft Word opens, but not the document, and I get the message "cannot find the file specified". If I save the document to my hard drive, it opens fine. What is the problem and how do I fix it? - 3. Background colours Disappearing on attachments
An Excel spreadsheet with background colours on some of the cells was attached to an Outlook email that I received. When I opened the attachment the cell backgrounds were all white, as its a spreadsheet that doesn't make much sense without the colours can anyone help m?. Is there a setting within Outlook causing the problem? - 4. Outlook adds .txt attachment whenever html e-mail is sent
Alright, I can't figure this one out. I am using Outlook 2002 and whenever I send an email formatted in html it adds a .txt file. The last filename was "msg-25487-2481.txt(76B)." The file contains the same text as the e-mail. It doesn't do it when I use plain text. This file is picked up by some virus scanners. I thought it was how microsoft encoded html, but the attachment shows up in other outlook programs. Outlook is configured to use Western European (ISO) encoding if that makes a difference. Really I have no idea what I am doing. I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen or are there any settings I can change so this stops whenever I send an html e-mail. Do I have a virus or spyware? I don't use signatures. I don't even know what to call this attachment so I am having trouble searching for the solution. Should I just send plain text e-mail until I pony up and buy a newer version of outlook? Thanks for the help and sorry if this was an improper post, it was my first time doing this. I'll be happy to supply anymore information that is needed.

2.Offline/Online Folders - Synchronizing (Contacts)
For some reason, I have 2900 contacts in my Offline folder but only 250 of them appear in the online folder. Of course, I want them all in the online folder so my PDA sychs properly and so I can access them when logging in remotely. How do I move the contacts from the offline to the online folder? I am afraid that by synch'ing the two folders, the online foler will overwrite the offline one, and I'll lose all those contacts. I am using XP, Outlook 2003.

5.Outlook appointment change is not updating until taken offline / put online again
Only got one user with this problem - they change the subject of an appointment in Outlook (running in Cached Exchange mode) while connected to the server. The calendar exists in Public Folders. When they save & close the appointment, their change isn't reflected on the main calendar view (one day per screen). If you open the appointment up, their change shows correctly in the subject line. If you change folders, or close & restart Outlook, this situation continues. Only by using the File > Work Offline option to take it offline and then bring it back online does the change then update on the main display. On one occasion I did this, when it came back online and opened the appointment, it actually said 'you have multiple versions of this appointment - which do you want to keep, the current or previous version?' I couldn't find this documented anywhere at the time, and now cannot replicate that message. However, all I really want is for items to update without any user intervention! Any ideas? Cheers Rob
