Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently it can be easily done: In Microsoft Outlook, how can I import address information from an Excel workbook into my Contacts list?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just found that and printed it out!

Whoot!

Google. Who knew? Besides everyone but me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Edit: I seemed to have solved my own problem by googling. It looks like the image has to be sized to 96 dpi, not higher OR lower!

see: [link]

Does anyone know if Outlook resizes images?

This is my problem:

1. We have a logo that we use in an email signature

2. When I have not sent the email and I print it, it comes out beautifully

3. When I send the email to someone and they print it, it is fuzzy/pixelated.

4. This happened with all the logo sizes I have access to (46K JPEG, 586K microsoft document and 19K JPEG). THe GIFs won't import into outlook

5. Most importantly, my boss's boss is insisting that it be fixed even though it looks fine on the screen! (she prints out, reads, and either files or throw out all her email and thinks everyone else does the same) She does not care how big the file size has to be.

Does anyone know how to rid a word doucment of all the previous changes. I want to upload a resume as a Word doc, and I don't want there to be any chance of any seeing all the changes. And for some reason this file always opens for me showing the markup.

Sophia, it sounds like the logo was probably created with a resolution meant for screen viewing, which is (I think 72 dpi) and that isn't always great for printing.

I don't understand why you and your boss print it out differently though. Could it be your boss just has a crappy printer or low-res settings on her printer?

Thank you so much

That is what I thought too, but then it happened even with the files the designer gave us that are for offset printing!

I ended up googling, and coming up with a blog where someone mentioned that outlook 2003 assumes all images are 96 dpi, and actually enlarges them to that size, thus pixelateing them. I linked above

I don't mess around with shell stuff too much in OS X, but I found something interesting that lets you grab web stuff using the command line. You'd call it like:

/usr/local/bin/links -dump "http://somewebpage.com"

What is this 'links' thing? I don't have that file (at least at that location).
