HowTo Save e-mail messages as pdf-file

Since Office 2007, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be saved directly as pdf-files. Sadly, this option is not available in Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010. There are of course alternatives such as installing a pdf-printer, using Adobe Acrobat or a 3rd party add-in such as SaveAsPDF by Sperry Software.

Another way is to use the VBA macro in this guide which uses Word’s capabilities to save documents in the pdf-format. With the code provided and easy to follow instructions, it offers a great alternative if you only occasionally need to save messages in the pdf-format or when you are in an environment where you cannot install software yourself.

News Facebook Provider update for Social Connector

An update is available for the Facebook Provider for the Outlook Social Connector. This updates the Facebook Provider to version 14.0.6114.5003.

No change log has been made available but the issue of not being able to directly add someone to Facebook via the Social Connector in Outlook is still there (leads to a 404 page). However, this is also more of an issue with the Facebook website than with the Outlook Social Connector as Facebook needs to process these URLs and send out the invite.

Update: The Outlook Team has made known that the new Facebook Provider supports secure HTTPS connections. An upgrade notification will also be shown in the People Pane later this month when you haven’t updated yet.

HowTo Printing a yearly calendar with Holidays and Birthdays

When you look at the printing options in Outlook, you’ll find that there is no Calendar Style a yearly calendar. Microsoft has published several yearly calendar templates for Word, Excel and PowerPoint but these are all static and thus do not contain any key dates that you have stored in Outlook such as Holidays, Birthdays and Anniversaries.
