Calendar is missing in New Outlook
Calendar is missing in New Outlook
If you just changed from classic Outlook to New Outlook, you might find your calendar is gone. This can happen for a few reasons. First, you most likely have IMAP setup for your email and in classic Outlook, it came with a (This Computer Only) calendar. That is a local to the computer only calendar, it is not in the cloud and doesn’t sync with the cloud. You will need to make some decisions here.
Decision #1 is find a calendar synching program that works with New Outlook. Microsoft Exchange, Outlook.com, Google Workspace/Gmail and iCloud are favorites.
Free? Outlook.com, Gmail and iCloud all will sync as of Nov 7, 2024
Microsoft Exchange and Google Workspace have a monthly subscription
Decision #2 is not use a calendar to sync with New Outlook. There are no IMAP email accounts that offer calendar (Outside of Gmail) that I know of. This also goes for contacts.

How to print to a PDF in New Outlook
Two options:
In the inbox, click on the email you want to print to PDF. Hit the control + P on your keyboard and this will launch up print and you can chose to print to PDF or your own printer.
The other option is double click on the email you want to print to PDF, click on the 3 dots on the right top side of the window that pops up. “More Actions” and then select “Print” in the options available.

How to change the Zoom level in New Outlook
How to change the Zoom level in New Outlook
Unfortunately, the Zoom levels have changed in the New Outlook. You can go to “Settings” and then click on “Mail” and “Layout” and change the “text size and spacing” to small, medium or large. The New Outlook is more of a cloud application and there is very little you can do to change the size in the app. If you need the size larger than the “large” option, you might want to consider moving to the OWA and then you can change your browser window to be a much more larger size.

OneDrive Error Code: 0x8004016C
This is an error I have found when setting up OneDrive on a new computer. The fix is to remove McAfee but you have to run the removal software. I got the download from MajorGeeks.
