Actually, I think it confuses things a bit.
The icon your left with if you do that is the one I described which is
used for visual notification of new email. If you choose the "hide when
minimized" option, and you've chosen to not show this notification icon
in the systray, then you'll have nothing at all to see when outlook is
minimized. You're not minimizing the window to the systray, you're just
hiding the window, while allowing the notification icon (which briefly
changes to an envelope when you've got new email) to show.

Hi, actually in Outlook 2003 you can minimize the programme to
the system tray. Well, what happens when you open Outlook is that an
icon will appear both in the taskbar and the systray by default. If you
right click the systray icon, arrow to hide when minimized and press
enter, Outlook will only show an icon in the systray. Hope that helps.

Hi Dave,
It's a great deal more preferable if you wouldn't list
many questions in a single email, but put each one in it's own email so
that discussion threads can start on each topic. I'll do that here and
answer just the outlook question.
Outlook does not minimize to the systray, but it does
have a component which will appear in the systray for a visual
notification of new emails. It actually has 4 possible actions it can
take when new email arrives, and 3 of them are visual, and so you
probably want to turn those off.
In outlook, choose the tools menu and the options
choice. In the options dialog you'll begin in the preferences tab;
choose the email options button, and in the email options dialog that
opens, choose the advanced email options button. Finally, in here
you'll find the 4 options which are check boxes of what outlook can do
when new email arrives. The first is to play a sound, and you probably
want that checked. The next 3 are to change the mouse pointer, change
an icon in the systray, and make an alert appear on the desktop. You'll
probably want to uncheck these 3.
ok your way out of all these dialogs and you should have
it as you want.
hth,
Chip

Subject: misc settings in office 2003 with jfw9?
Hello,
I'm using jfw9 and office 2003, the two apps in
this email message are word and outlook. My issues are separate, but I'm
having jfw speaking for both.
In outlook, and this only occurs on this
computer, not on another so I believe it is a setting, when I minimize
or close outlook I get it listed in my systray, this Is not what I want.
When I minimize I'd like outlook to be in my taskbar, and when I close
I'd like outlook to close, period. I remember flipping some setting that
made this work, but can't remember where it is, any assistance?
Now for word, I open up either a
blank document or a word doc with text in it. In either case I want to
insert a header or footer. Previously in office 2k and jfw5 I'd do this
and the dialogs would speak, indicating where I am, either in the header
or footer. In 2003 I go to view, headers and footers, and I'm in some
kind of what looks like an onscreen dialog, but no feedback. Tabbing
doesn't get me to the footer dialog if I'm in fact in the header one.
Any suggestions, is there a jfw tweak?
Oh, and what is this Microsoft
Office Customer Improvement program icon? Any idea how to stop it?
Thanks.
Dave.
