My friend's husband accidentally turned Track Changes on, and even though
he's the only person editing, all these changes show up. We got it turned
off, but how do we get rid of all the notes and just leave it how he edited
it?

You will need to turn track changes back on, accept all the changes
and then turn track changes back off.

Hi all

I have never programmed anything in Outlook, neither bothered with templates.

However, a client has an urgent need and asks for help to modify a template and - stupid me - responded that I could take care as the original programmer is gone-gone. How difficult can that be?

Well, in Outlook 2016, I have managed to find the Developer checkbox and mark it, so I do have the Developer ribbon present. But that's about it. In other words, I'm in serious trouble ...

I have a zip with these files to work with (xyz is client's name):

    olkexplorer.officeUI
    olkmailread.officeUI
    xyz.oft
    xyzVbaProject.otm

also:

    xyz.bat (seems to be a bat file to copy the otm file to the user's folder)

I can open the oft file and make some changes, but I cannot find out how to "Save As" ... clicking the menu does nothing, so it seems.

But where does the otm file come in? I can find no way to open it.

Also, the target is both Outlook 2010 and 2013. Can I safely program for these in 2016 or 2013 given that the original code is for 2010/2013?

As you can see, this is indeed not my ballgame. 
So could someone provide a short guide or direct me to a crash course in Outlook development, please?

I've got one step further - by renaming the otm file to VbaProject.otm and copying it to:

    %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook

Now, when opening Outlook, I have a Forms, UserForm1 form (seems empty) and a Modules, Module1 module with some functions that seems relevant to the task.

Gustav, I've never figured out how to modify and save a template. I just
copy the original into a new one, change it and then save it using the
original name -- or not... 

The otm file is code. Can you see it and open it in the VBE? 

Good luck -- I hate Outlook development. It's the least documented and the
easiest to make you look and feel like an idiot.

Hi Susan

Oh, I feel like an idiot but a have the small hope to not end up like that - at least to the client - seems I can use all the luck I can get.

Yes, I can see and edit the code - it seems to live completely separated from the template - it actually opens this and manipulates the content.

I'll try the copy and rename trick for the template.

If you figure out the modify/save route, let us all know! Thanks!

Here are some of my favorite sites for Outlook development -- but I do so
little that I don't make much use of them: 

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlookdev
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=37
http://www.howto-outlook.com/tag/development
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook-developers/
http://www.helenfeddema.com/

Helen has a lot of great code samples but not much in the way of how-to
help. Slipstick and Helen are both available for hire, so if you can't do
it, you might recommend either or both to your client.

Hi Susan,

I'm not sure but check http://www.techhit.com/ or https://www.mapilab.com/outlook/.  TechHit has some nice tools for automatically extracting attachments and other tasks, and Mapilabs has a ton of addins for all sorts of things.  Use them both regularly at various clients.  Very cheap too.

I know Mapilabs has a duplicate email remover so it wouldn't surprise me if they have a duplicate contacts remover.  Good luck.

Hi Susan - and John

Thanks, that can keep me busy for a while.

"the modify/save route" - is that modify/save a template? I couldn't find out (you can click save but nothing is saved). 
Is that a challenge? I just thought I didn't know how to do it.

If you figure out the modify/save route, let us all know! Thanks!

Here are some of my favorite sites for Outlook development -- but I do so little that I don't make much use of them:

Helen has a lot of great code samples but not much in the way of how-to help. Slipstick and Helen are both available for hire, so if you can't do it, you might recommend either or both to your client.

Hi Susan

Oh, I feel like an idiot but a have the small hope to not end up like that - at least to the client - seems I can use all the luck I can get.

Yes, I can see and edit the code - it seems to live completely separated from the template - it actually opens this and manipulates the content.

I'll try the copy and rename trick for the template.

Gustav, I've never figured out how to modify and save a template. I just copy the original into a new one, change it and then save it using the original name -- or not... 

The otm file is code. Can you see it and open it in the VBE? 

Good luck -- I hate Outlook development. It's the least documented and the easiest to make you look and feel like an idiot.

Now, when opening Outlook, I have a Forms, UserForm1 form (seems empty) and a Modules, Module1 module with some functions that seems relevant to the task.

Right Gustav -- I went through the design route with the existing template,
but could never save changes. It's not just you. ;) It's early and I
haven't had coffee yet, but I wonder if you have to re-publish the modified
template? I can't remember the exact steps, but that's bouncing around in
my head.

Hi Susan

Job done, happy client, and the links were a good help. Thank you.

The task was from a special received mail to create a respond mail with some extra info (phone number for an SMS gateway). I used an InputBox to get the number, then send the mail silently without displaying it. Thus, I could use the existing template and modify it via code only so, luckily, I didn't have to redesign the template. I haven't found out how to save a modified template, and it is hard to search for solutions because the keywords lead to a bunch of irrelevant results.

I partly had to modify some existing code (not by me) and, once again, it struck me how much sloppy code "programmers" get away with ...

This is definitely good news and like you, I've never found a way to save a
modified template. I've researched and left questions - I have no idea how
to do it. Maybe you can't. But I'm glad you were able to do this for your
client!

BTW, define sloppy -- do you mean shortcuts such as no commenting, no naming
conventions, etc. or are you referring to bad code decisions? Just curious.

Hi Susan

Sloppy means ... all of it. Mix of early and late binding, misleading variable names, badly named functions, declaration As Object where this easily could be narrowed down. Repeated code which can be moved to supporting functions, lousy prompts for the user, no Buttons specified for MsgBox, lack of use of common constants, magic numbers where VBA constants exist, no comments at all, no version information, mixed indenting, etc. 

But it worked. Just not the kind of work I return for money.

But the kind of work many are forced into with little training and time -- I
understand. I am guilty myself of repeating code snippets - but then most of
the projects that I've worked on are so small that they're repeated a few
times, not dozens. It seems quicker to just copy it than create a new
function to call instead. 

I'm an interface spaz... I tend to see forms and reports and individuals
rather than a component of a larger system. I'm working on that one.

"I am an independent fundraiser and use two computers, a desktop at home and

PST file which would be saved on OneDrive?  My goal would be for both
computers to use Outlook and not have to sync them yet have equal PST data

While one could come up with a set of procedures which could do that, it is
not the way to do it with O365. Outlook would use an OST with Office 365
(which is an online version of MS Exchange Server). Every time you connect
to it the OST synchronizes. So there is no need for synching a .pst file.
Think of it as IMAP email on steroids. Instead of just synching the email it
also sync the contacts, calendar and other info for you. You could also use
the online web version of outlook via your O365 login and get the same
information.

About the only thing that would be different is add-ons. They would only be
on the PCs and would have to be installed locally on each. There are add-ons
for the web version but I doubt they're synchronizable (?) with the local
versions.

For what he seems to be doing moving his email to an O365 business account
would be a very good idea!

Yes. Well... maybe not. Only Mail is in the apps list - maybe not.

You have an Office 365 online account?

Okay... another question. I've got Mail 365 but I don't use it. There's no
Calendar -- mail and contacts. Do I have to do something? 

Susan H. 

Think of it as IMAP email on steroids. Instead of just synching the email it
also sync the contacts, calendar and other info for you. You could also use
the online web version of outlook via your O365 login and get the same
information.

Only Mail? If this is through one of your publishers, maybe they have a
custom setup of Office 365. Otherwise you'd have access to the office apps
the office store for other apps and add-ons, etc.

Otherwise maybe you're thinking of the consumer Microsoft Account where you
can buy stuff from MS - but even there they have a link to your outlook.com
webmail which lets you also go to your calendar, contacts, OneDrive, etc.

I have my own sub, not through a publisher. I have all of the apps, but only
Mail is visible. I don't have an icon for Outlook. 

Duh... just actually looked and I have Mail, People, and Calendar -- not
presented in the usual way so of course, I made it harder than it actually
is. 

Sorry.
