Add iCalendar files into Outlook

iCalendar (or iCal) files are data files that contain details of events including the date, time and location. iCal files can either be opened in Outlook as a new Outlook Calendar (separate from your existing calendars) or the iCal file can be
saved and imported into your existing Outlook Calendar.

• Open an iCal file in Microsoft
  Outlook
• Import an iCal
  file into your Outlook Calendar

Open an iCal file in Microsoft Outlook
Opening an iCal file in Microsoft Outlook will create a new calendar in your Outlook Calendars that contains the events from the iCal file. This calendar will be completely separate from your other Outlook calendars and will exist in Outlook
until you choose to remove it.

To open an iCal file in Outlook:

1. Click on an iCal link on a website
2. When prompted, click Open. The iCalendar will appear in your Outlook Calendar under 'Other Calendars'.
   

Import an iCal file into your Outlook Calendar
If you would like to add information from an iCal file into your Outlook Calendar:

1. Click on an iCal link on a website
2. When prompted, click Save and save the file to your computer
3. Open Microsoft Outlook and go to File >
   Open > Import
4. When prompted select Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file (.vcs) and click
   Next
5. When prompted, browse for the iCal file that you saved to your computer and click
   OK (the file will have the file extension of .ics e.g. basics.ics).
6. When prompted, click Import
7. The dates from the iCal file will now be imported into your existing Outlook Calendar

Are you able to open the files?

Is the problem that when you are only able to open the files in Read Only mode?

Where your files save to a CD or DVD? If so, the "Read Only" attribute may have been set on and can be turned off by right clicking on a file in Windows Explorer or the File Explorer and then left click on Properties.,

Additional info:

I ran the following test:

I took a .docx file I created on my office PC which was stored on our server and saved it locally to my PC harddrive. I then save a copy as .doc as well. Then I emailed both files to my office Outlook account AND my iCloud account (with one email).

BOTH files did NOT open from my Outlook account and BOTH files just opened fine from my iCloud account.

I then forwarded the email from my Outlook account to my iCloud account and now BOTH files did NOT open anymore.

So it seems that my Outlook account (Exchange server) corrupts the files.

Can that be?

best regards

Wolfgang

Hi

das Problem ist in diesem Hilfe-Artikel beschrieben:
https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/3189902/can-t-preview--msg-files-in-windows-file-explorer-with-64-bit-outlook

Komisch ist, dass KEINER der Moderatoren mich darauf aufmerksam gemacht hat.

The R1C1 reference style can only be set on application level, not at workbook level.

Means this setting affects all files!

At first, delete your template Book.xltx then do as follows:

Close Excel

Open Excel

Open File\Options\Formulas and check the option "R1C1 Reference Style"

Close Excel

Open Excel

If the reference style is back to A1 you have other workbooks that are loaded at startup, e.g. PERSONAL.XLSB

Click View\Unhide window and make the hidden workbook visible

Open File\Options\Formulas and check the option "R1C1 Reference Style"

Click View\Hide window and the hide the workbook

Close Excel

When Excel asks you to save the PERSONAL.XLSB choose Yes

Open Excel

Andreas.
