Last reviewed on February 8, 2018     7 Comments

Welcome to the home for a special group of Microsoft Exchange and Outlook utilities. All these gizmos fulfill important needs expressed by users. All are freeware or inexpensive shareware, and we're very grateful to the developers for making them available. Note that most are provided as-is, and little or no support is available. Please contact the developers if you have questions about these applications.

Most of these should work with all versions of Microsoft Outlook (and Office), at least up to Outlook 2007. These utilities may not work with Outlook 64-bit.

 

Tools

Attachment Options

COM add-in by Outlook MVP Ken Slovak that adds an Attachment Security Options page to the Tools, Options dialog in Outlook 2000 SP3 or higher to allow you to manage which file attachments are blocked. New version adds support for the .gadget extension for Outlook 2003 SP3 and Outlook 2007 SP1. It also adds detection for those SP levels. Shareware. Version 1.9.6

My Outlook Calendar

Customizable Word template for generating Outlook weekly and monthly calendars. Print any Outlook calendar that you have access to, including calendars from other users' mailboxes and Public Folders. Add color coding by category or by type of item (one-day event, multiple-day event, etc.) Specify time and date formats and the title for the calendar. Slower than Microsoft's Outlook Calendar Template, but it does much more and follows progress in the status bar. See Using and Editing My Outlook Calendar Template for customization tips. The template needs to be in the template or custom template folder.

Outcal

Enhanced Word template for printing, viewing and web publishing monthly calendars from Outlook data. Based on Microsoft's Outlook Calendar Template. Includes category-based color-coding, better performance.

Hello,
I have been using this for quite some time. Today I received this error:

Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error '-131779767 (b174010f)': The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Thanks again for the reply. What I want the form to do and perhaps 'form' is the wrong word.
You and the rest of us have friends or family that have 2 or more cell phones. In the contact (People) section of Outlook.com and Outlook 2013, there is no way to identify who's phone number you are calling - other than Mobil, Assistant, Other, Work, Fax, Work 2, etc.

I would like to have Larry's phone # and Bonnie's phone #, not Assistant or Other, Home, etc..

Thank you.

That is not possible. You would need to have separate contacts for Larry and Bonnie. Otherwise, you would need to use the Notes section and put it in something like "Bonnie: xxx-xxx-xxxx"

Thanks Diane, I figured out the calendar problem OL.com was syncing with OL 2013 .
The categorize for colors works on OL 2013 but not OL.com.
Do you recommend or at least point me in the direction for a custom form for People entries.
Thank you again and in advance. Thanks for all you do for the community.

I'm not sure if custom forms will work with Outlook.com accounts. What do you want the form to do?

The holidays calendar is configured by default - you can deselect it or delete it online. Appointments in outlook.com account in outlook should now support color categories - right click on the appointment and choose Categorize.

The only way to customize labels is with custom forms. You can't change the entries on the dropdowns (phone # and email).
