Thank you James. It appears that the menu old vs new has been resolved. Unfortunately, the Stock and Geography data types on the menu ribbon are not active or present Neither is the "Ideas" AI function. Office had an update last week. My build version now is Office 365 MSO (16.0.11001.20070) 64bit. You mentioned the editing language set to "English", I am not sure what was meant by that. Do I have to set the English to the US English language version versus say Canadian English? I have US English set as my default and Canadian English as a secondary (enabled but not default). However, on your point (2), I am not an Office Insider member. Maybe the new new data types are active only for Insiders for now... I was under the impression that October 2018's Office update would broadcast as a general release to all MS Office subscribers. Thank you for your help.
