How to finally get rid of an auto complete suggestion in Outlook Mac

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/how-do-i-clear-the-recent-address-list-in-outlook/571bb8e8-06e2-4dc2-b6bd-fc5895c059d7?auth=1

Hey! Good news, I think I solved the problem. Try this:

In Outlook, click the "Contacts Search" button in the toolbar.
Change search scope drop-down to "All Folders" and search for the offending entry.
You should see your bug-a-boo in the "Suggested Contacts" section--at the top for me.
Double click the search result and delete the contact.

Done! Now, if somebody wants to explain how to locate all "Suggested Contacts" aside from the Contacts Search, that would be of interest to me. I would like to be able to groom or purge the entire set of contacts there.

OK, I answered that last question also.
Just do a "Contacts Search" in "Suggested Contacts" as the scope.
Then clear the search box and you will see all suggested contacts.
Edit or delete the ones that you don't want.

Is this documented somewhere?

How to add a blank option to a pulldown menu

What Sharepoint doesn't like when it comes to copy and paste

It's doesn't like newline characters

The only way I got Sharepoint to choose the "right" column for the Title column was to create it by hand and then copy/paste.

Best reference on how to import Excel into Sharepoint list

One thing it didn't mention is that you have to be on Windows and using IE (at least in my experience) since Active X is needed to launch Excel. Also note the helpful comment about adding the sharepoint URL to the Trust Sites if you get an error.

When using XML import for Ai

Make sure the variables column that Ai will use for it's data set identifier are unique, otherwise it will say that it's an invalid file and just block the import.

IE's URL max length is 5120 characters

What our team figured out through many different and onerous tests is that the max URL length that IE supports is 5120 before it starts to just truncate. Come on IE, work like other browsers and get rid of the character limit please.
