    Lost Outlook Calendar and Contacts with New Profile

    My primary email account stopped working two months ago on Outlook 365, and after many vain attempts to fix it I rather hastily deleted and recreated the account. This fixed my email problem perfectly. However, I did not realize all my contacts and calendar entries would disappear. Is there...

    Add Spaces to Alphabetized String

    I found code for a function that will alphabetize the characters in a string. If A2 is "TACO" then Sortletters(A2) returns "ACOT." What I'd like the result to look like is "A C O T" with a space in between the characters. A leading space before the first character is okay - I'm just looking...

    Windows 7 home premium I access a free AOL email account via Chrome. Until recently when I received an email attachment I would click on the attachment and it would download and show as a button at the bottom of the page. I would click on the button and the file, usually a .pdf, would open...

    Unique Month Numbers

    Is there a function or addin for Excel (2013) that returns a unique number for each month, similar to how days are counted from 1/1/1900? I don't mean the Month function that returns "6" for June no mater what year it is. I need every month to have a unique, consecutive number. For example...

    Delete Rows Based on NOT Matching Two Criteria

    Using Win 7 & Excel 2013 I'm totally new to VBA code, but I need some kind of code/macro/magic that will delete rows in Excel. Each month I import a financial statement with about 500 rows and I need to delete all but 350 of those rows. The rows I want to keep have an account number in Column...

    Text Intensive Report

    I need to create reports that are heavy on text and light on data fields. Essentially these are contracts or agreements with several paragraphs and then a few name, address and dollar amount fields. Is it better to store the text in the report itself or import memo fields that contain the...

    Combining Parameters

    Access 2007 I have a report with a subreport for payroll purposes. Each is based on a query and each query prompts for PAY DATE and for PAYEE. To run the report, I have to enter each parameter twice - once for the main report and once for the subreport. Is there a technique that would allow...

    Looksups - Good or Bad?

    I have a form with an agent field that is connected to an Agent Table via a lookup. I type "S" and it brings up Smith, "W" brings up Williams, etc. It is a terrific time saver, in my opinion. But it also seems like I've seen some of you pros argue against lookups and even referred to a...

    Format Zero Percent to Show "-"

    I have a form field that is a percent. When I format as a Percent it allows whole numbers to be entered and still displays them as percentages (e.g., entering "25" results in "25%" rather than 2500). However, when the value is zero I do not want to see "0". I would prefer to see see a hyphen...

    Sum by Text Color

    Excel 2007; Windows 7 I searched for this and the answers seemed to apply to Excel 2003, so here goes again. I have a spreadsheet that tracks payables by week. The absolute easiest way for me to indicate that an item (there are perhaps 50 per week) has been paid is to change the text or fill...

    Migrating Preinstalled Software to new PC

    A friend has an old PC that was shipped with MS Word, but she was never given the actual installation disk. She's buying a new PC and would like to keep using this version of MS Word on the new machine. I feel like she already has the license and should be able to continue using it. Any...

I can view the top bar by pointing my cursor off the top of the page, but I can't ever see the taskbar. How do I...
