I have Office 2003 and it lacks PDF features and other things I'd like to have. I am buying a 2010 version and the person I'm buying it from recommends uninstalling the 2003 version, backing up my data files as well as temporarily suspending Microsoft Security Solutions during install. I'm not sure how to temporarily stop Security Solutions. Anything else I should be aware of to make this...

Hello, This morning at around 10:06 AM I got the joy of a BSOD. I believe it happened right after I changed Spotify's settings to not start up automatically when logging in. I don't know if the BSOD had anything to do with it. A few weeks ago, I also had a BSOD but I didn't really experience problems with my pc afterwards. This morning, my pc would freeze shortly after rebooting after...

Import existing yahoo folders into Outlook 2010?

0

I'm fed up with web mail and want to move to Outlook as my only mail source. The problem is, if I use Outlook, I won't be able to get all of the emails that I've organized into folders in Yahoo mail without taking every single one out of the folders and letting it sync. Outlook is able to sync the folders just fine with "Outlook Online." Is there a way that I can make Yahoo Mail do this?

My company had an agreement with Microsoft that allowed employees to install the full Office 2013 suite at home for personal use for $10.

Anyway, I've gotten used to using Outlook at home, so whichever version I buy will have that, but I'm...
