I wanted to switch my contact management from OpenXChange/Outlook to Outlook.com/Outlook. I'm using Outlook 2013 (15.0.4615.1000) on Windows 8.
I followed the steps described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844991/en-us and copied all contacts from local Outlook folder to the contact folder of my outlook.com account.
I turned out, that the contacts were synced, but the birthday date for all of them was gone. Even manually entering the date in Outlook did not fix it.
How-I-fixed-it:
- Export all contacts to a csv-file from Outlook
- Manually import the contacts from the csv-file in outlook.com

Publisher 2010 won't save / export PDF nor XPS any more
After updating my system to Windows 8, Office 2010 Publisher quit saving files as PDF and XPS. The error message was:
"Publisher cannot save the file" or in german "Publisher kann Datei nicht speichern".
On a different computer the same file saved as PDF without problems.

I found the right hints how to fix it here:

I changed my default printer to a different one than before and suprisingly PDF and XPS export in Publisher was working fine again.

Export parts of Firefox bookmarks to HTML or Trac
After searching around on the web for a while, i decided to write my own little conversion tool to export only parts of my firefox bookmarks, e.g. subfolders, to a HTML-File or in TRAC format.
Here's how i did it:
I added the OPML Addon to my firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/2625
I exported my bookmarks to an OPML-File, which is just XML.
Next i create a little XSL-Stylesheet that converts the OPML to the desired format.
To convert OPML to TRAC links the XSLT looks like this (OPML2TRAC.xsl):
To convert OPML to HTML links the XSLT looks like this (OPML2HTML.xsl):
Replace the "PlaceTheNameOfYourSubfolderHere" value with the name of the Subfolder of your firefox bookmarks.
In the head of the OPML-File insert the reference to the XSL-File:
Open the OPML in Firefox or Internet Explorer now. You should then see the converted result.
You can also use a XSLT-Processor, e.g. MSXSL to do the conversion.
