Synchronize outlook and apple iphone or ipod touch calendars

Synchronization of calendars between Outlook and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process.

After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.

Note: As a best practice, make sure that software on your computer and your Apple device is current. As a precaution, you also can back up your Outlook data before you begin.

Sync your Outlook calendar with your iOS device

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.

   iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.

2. In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.

3. Click the Info tab.

4. Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.

5. Do one of the following:

   • To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.

   • To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.

     Note: To select multiple calendars, press Ctrl as you click each calendar name.

6. Click Apply.

Outlook synchronization support for iPhone, iPod touch, and iTunes is provided by Apple support.

Back up your Outlook data

When you back up your Outlook data, you're creating (exporting) an Outlook Data File (.pst) that's used for POP3 and IMAP email accounts.

1. On the File tab, choose Open & Export > Import/Export.

   

2. In the Import and Export Wizard, choose Export to a file > Next.

   

3. Under Create a file of type, choose Outlook Data File (.pst) > Next.

4. Under Select the folder to export from, choose the folder to export and only information in that folder is exported.

   

5. Select the Include subfolders check box to make sure everything—Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox—in the account will be exported, and then choose Next.

6. Under Save exported file as, click Browse to select where to save the Outlook Data File (.pst), type a file name, and then click OK to continue.

   Note: If you've used export before, the previous folder location and file name appear. Type a different file name, and then click OK.

7. If you are exporting to an existing Outlook Data File (.pst), under Options, specify what to do when exporting items that already exist in the file.

8. Click Finish.

Outlook begins the export immediately unless a new Outlook Data File (.pst) is created or a password-protected file is used.

• If you're creating an Outlook Data File (.pst), an optional password can help protect the file. When the Create Outlook Data File dialog box appears, type the password in the Password and Verify Password boxes, and then click OK. In the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, type the password, and then click OK.

• If you're exporting to an existing Outlook Data File (.pst) that is password protected, in the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, type the password, and then click OK.

Now that your Outlook data is in a .pst file, it's portable. You can save the .pst file to OneDrive or to a USB storage device, for example, and then download it to another computer or another device of your choice. See import your email, contacts, and calendar to Outlook to learn more.

1. On the File tab, choose Options > Advanced.

   

2. Under the Export section, choose Export.

   

3. Click Export to a file >Next.

4. Click Outlook Data File (.pst) > Next.

5. Under Select the folder to export from, choose the folder to export and only information in that folder is exported.

   

6. Select the Include subfolders check box to make sure everything—Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox—in the account will be exported, and then choose Next.

7. Click Browse to select where you want to save the Outlook Data File (.pst) and to enter a file name, and then click OK to continue.

   Note:  If you have previously used the export feature, the previous folder location and file name appear. Make sure that you change the file name if you want to create a new file instead of using the existing file.

8. If you're exporting to an existing Outlook Data File (.pst), under Options, specify what to do when exporting items that already exist in the file.

9. Click Finish.

The export begins immediately unless a new Outlook Data File (.pst) is created or the export is to an existing file that is password protected.

• If you are creating a new Outlook Data File (.pst), an optional password can help protect the file. When the Create Outlook Data File dialog box appears, enter the password in the Password and Verify Password boxes, and then click OK. In the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click OK.

• If you are exporting to an existing Outlook Data File (.pst) that is password protected, in the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click OK.

Now that your Outlook data is in a .pst file, it's portable. You can save the .pst file to OneDrive or to a USB storage device, for example, and then download it to another computer or another device of your choice. See import your email, contacts, and calendar to Outlook to learn more.

8. Click Finish.

The export begins immediately unless you're creating a new Outlook Data File (.pst) or you're exporting is to an existing .pst file that is password protected. In those cases, you'll get this dialog box:

Choose OK if you don't want to password protect your file. Otherwise:

• If you want to password protect your .pst file: enter the password in the Password and Verify Password boxes, and then click OK. In the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click OK.

• If you are exporting to an existing Personal File Folder (.pst) that is password protected, in the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, and then click OK.

Dderequest function

You can use the DDERequest function over an open dynamic data exchange (DDE) channel to request an item of information from a DDE server application.

For example, if you have an open DDE channel between Microsoft Office Access 2007 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007, you can use the DDERequest function to transfer text from an Excel worksheet to an Access database.

Syntax

DDERequest ( channum , item )

The DDERequest function syntax has these arguments:

Ar gument	Description
channum	A channel number, the integer returned by the DDEInitiate function.
item	A string expression that's the name of a data item recognized by the application specified by the DDEInitiate function. Check the application's documentation for a list of possible items.

Remarks

The channum argument specifies the channel number of the desired DDE conversation, and the item argument identifies which data should be retrieved from the server application. The value of the item argument depends on the application and topic specified when the channel indicated by the channum argument is opened. For example, the item argument may be a range of cells in an Excel worksheet.

The DDERequest function returns a Variant as a string containing the requested information if the request was successful.

The data is requested in alphanumeric text format. Graphics or text in any other format can't be transferred.

If the channum argument isn't an integer corresponding to an open channel, or if the data requested can't be transferred, a run-time error occurs.

Add a page border or title

A border or title in a Visio drawing is just like a background page. You see the border or title when you view the drawing, but you edit it separately from the foreground diagram.

1. Click Design > Borders & Titles, then click the style you want. The border appears as a background page, usually called something like VBackground-1.

   

   Tip:  If you add a border and one or more backgrounds to the same drawing page, Visio combines them into the same background page.

2. To edit the background page with the title or border, click its page tab. Double-click any of the text areas to make changes. To delete any of the areas, click it to select it, and press Delete.
   Use the Design tab to change colors on the border or title page.

   Note:  If you apply a different theme or color variant to the border or title page, the same theme or variant is automatically applied to the drawing page the border or title belongs to.

3. To finish editing the background page, click the page tab of another drawing page. The page with the title and border is not affected by any change you make to other pages.

Tip:  If you just want a title box to enter drawing data such as scale, author or revision tracking, use a shape from the Title Block stencil instead of a background page. Find it in the Shapes window – click More Shapes > Visio Extras > Title Blocks.

Adding a border or title to multiple pages

Border or title pages work best when applied to each drawing page individually, even if you want an identical border on every page.

When multiple drawing pages share a border or background page, the background page takes the size of the largest drawing page using it. So if all the drawing pages using a border are not the same size, the borders might appear mismatched to the size of some of the drawing pages.

If that happens, remove the border page and then assign a fresh border. Here's how:

1. Click Design > Borders & Titles > No Border and Title.

2. Click Design > Borders & Titles and then click the border style that you want.

   Note:  If you add a page to the drawing, it automatically shares the border or background you most recently applied to your drawing. That means the border will fit the new foreground pages correctly as long as all the added pages that share it are the same size. It's a good idea to check each of the borders and titles after you're done adding and building the foreground pages.
