[] Remove Invitation: from Gmail meeting subjects
Several people asked me how to remove the word "Invitation:" from the subject of Gmail invitations, as it takes up a lot of space on Outlook's calendar, making it difficult to see the appointment subject.
How can I remove the word 'Invitation' from every appointment that originated as an invite from a Google calendar?
You will need to use a macro to remove the word Invitation from the subject line, unless you want to manually edit each appointment subject on your calendar.
I have two ready-to-use macros at [Remove prefix from Gmail meeting invitations](. The first removes the Invitation: from new meetings and Updated Invitation: from meeting updates as they arrive. The second macro removes the words from meetings already in your calendar.
[] Create recurring emails in Outlook
A user wanted to know how to set up a recurring email:
I need to set up a recurring email each first of the month. This email will also contain a standardized message for all recipients.
You have a couple of options. You can prepare the messages and set a Delay Send time to the messages. The only problem with this is Outlook will ask if you really want to close it when messages are waiting to be sent.
Better is using a macro that is triggered by a reminder. Create the message ahead of time, either as a template or in the body of the appointment or tasks. When the reminder fires, the message is created and sent. See [Send an email when an Appointment reminder fires]( for the VBA macro code.
Another option is using a PowerShell script, triggered by Task Scheduler. This method may work for people can't use macros. You can either create a message completely in PowerShell or use a prepared template.
This is a sample of the code needed to send a template and add the date to the subject field.
$l = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $ol.CreateItemFromTemplate("C: | path | to | template.oft") $ndatetime = Get-Date -Format g
$Mail.Subject = $Mail.Subject + ' ' + $ndatetime $Mail.send()
I have more information here, [Scheduling a Recurring Message](, along with a second PowerShell sample
[] Font changes to Script after sending
Twice this week, users asked what was wrong with Outlook. The message they sent looked fine in Outlook but the recipient received the message with a difficult to read script font.
When a recipient receives my email the font is in a script, which is very difficult to read - when I type the email, it isn't in that font. This only happens when the email is read on an iPad or iPhone - it's fine if read on a desktop computer.
My sent messages are received in a script font though I compose them in Comic Sans.
In both cases the cause is using a font that is not installed on the recipient’s computers, so the OS substitutes with another font. Comic Sans is not a default font installed on Apple products and the substitute is a script.
As long as you use a boring font, like Arial or Times New Romain, that is supported on pretty much every device available, the message should look the same to the recipient as it did when you typed it up. If the font is not available on the device, it falls back to the font family specified in the message header. For Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman and other basic fonts, it should either be Serif or Sans-serif.
[] Disable Alt+S to Send
A user had a problem accidentally sending messages using Alt+S key combination.
When writing with Polish language/keyboard, Polish special signs/letters are entered with Alt key. When I forget to change the language from English to Polish, I accidentally send email.
You can disable Alt+S by editing the registry, using one of two registry edits. The first method adds the value to the DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes key, with the value data set to 83,16.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft Office | 16.0 | Outlook | DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes
String Value: Alt+S
Value Data: 83,16
Administrators can use group policy, which sets the following registry key. Again, you'll use 83.16 as the key combo.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Policies | Microsoft | office | 16.0 | outlook | disabledshortcutkeyslist
String Value: KeyMod1
Value Data: 83,16
