UI for custom font and color schemes in Office for macOS
Hello, I am not 100% sure if this is the correct discussion space, but: until now there is still no user interface for macOS users to create a custom font or color scheme! On Windows it is so easy; on macOS you have to dig up weird directories and write an XML file. What gives? Best, Satrio
File created from SharePoint list via Power Automate cannot be opened
I have a Power Automate flow that is supposed run once a day at 7:45AM EST. Then Get items from a SharePoint list where the filter query is: ReminderOne column is less than or equal to the date when the flow was triggered and field_4 (Date and Time) is null. Next it should get the following columns and values from Get items: Site (Single line of text), PageURL (Single line of text), the email from Requestor (Person or Group with multi-select disabled), the emails from SiteOwners (Person or Group with multi-select enabled), and field_3 (Date and Time). From the values of those columns it should create an Excel file in https://xxx.com/teams/xxx/Shared%20Documents/xxx/xxx/. Lastly it should take that Excel file and attach it to an email- not as a link but as a file to download. The flow runs successfully, however, when I try to open the file in the folder its in or in the email attachment, I get an error that the file can't be opened.
In the Czech Republic, it is not possible to order products online
Hello, America, people in Europe are not going to work!!! In the Czech Republic, there wasn’t even anyone at the reception today. Microsoft employees are at home and don’t even report the issues we are reporting. We cannot order Microsoft products online in the Czech Republic. Phone number verification has stopped working. Could the managers from America check what Microsoft employees in the Czech Republic are doing? Thank you! https://www.microsoft.com/cs-cz/microsoft-365/business/compare-all-microsoft-365-business-productsOneDrive - the most annoying app ever
Hello, along with a new computer, I decided to switch from my older version of Office to a Microsoft 365 plan. I've been using OneDrive for a few years already like one uses any other storage device. What Microsoft did with OneDrive within the Microsoft 365 package, though, is pure annoyance. In fact, I'm momentarily tempted to cancel Microsoft 365 and install my old Office 2010 again. How can the developers think, any user would deem OneDrive the most important app ever developed in the whole universe? It's a storage device, people, not the cure for cancer, it's basically just a souped-up floppy disk. Why, then, does it push itself to the fore on all occasions like a prom queen with an inferiority complex? The options to control OneDrive are plain abysmal. I don't want it to track every single activity on my computer and suck up every bit of data, so it fills rapidly with pieces of crap data I have to delete by hand later, stealing me hours of lifetime. Above all else I don't want it to display just everything on every starting screen available. Aren't you guys ashamed even using the term "data privacy" when there's not even an option to get rid of that annoying "last used" folder on the Office 356 starting screen? I don't want my coworkers look over my shoulder and see I've just written an application, a resignation or a dismissal for Tom. That's basic data privacy! At it's momentary form, Microsoft 365 is more a problem than a solution for anything. Please, add some basic privacy options before you think about promoting this total indiscretion device. And find a solution for OneDrive to better control auto-save, so not every piece of junk data is stuffed to it.
Turning off email notifications about new comments in one certain file
Hi All! I found a solution to turn off all email notifications on new comments in my shared files (through settings on SharePoint), but it doesn't really solve my problem. In project files I work on with my colleagues, email notifications are helpful for monitoring workflows and streamline the process. At the same time, I'm an owner of yearly excel files shared with a big team in order to monitor the work on all clients and automate the visualization of it, but it gets commented on a lot and I don't need to get all of that on my Outlook. Is there any way to turn off email notifications about new comments for just one file without turning them off on all my shared files? Kind regards, Jakub BanasikPower Automate - when a form is submitted: Other choice text
I have a flow that will write details from a form when submitted. One question in the form is a choice field with an "other" option where they can enter text for the other option. I would like the flow to write "Other" as the choice column value in the SharePoint list and then take what they type in the form for the other text to be written to another SharePoint list column as the text of the other option. This will keep the column formatting on the list view consistent for the values in the choice column. Any ideas?
Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Subscription Issue
I deleted my profile more than 60 days ago. Today, when I tried to create a new developer subscription, it turned out that the old one is still in the system even though it should have been deleted. I want to remove the old one and create a new one.
.ics files open in Calendar App instead of Microsoft Office Outlook
I did a Microsoft Office repair last week. Now when I click on a .ics file, It opens up in the Windows 10 Calendar App instead of Microsoft Outlook. When I went to change the default settings, I didn't see any options for Outlook like I did in my email default programs. How do I fix it? I have Microsoft Office 365 on the Monthly Channel Insider program and regular Windows 10.Teams App Won't Authenticate in New Outlook
I have a Teams app that is about to be upgraded to the new manifest so it will run in Outlook. I uploaded the app to test it, and in the old Outlook it works fine. I can see the interface, click the button to authenticate with my cloud system, it pops up a small window inside Outlook, I authenticate, and it works. Just like Teams. If a switch to the New Outlook, it doesn't work. I can still see the interface, but when I click the button to authenticate with my cloud system it does not pop up a small window inside Outlook. Instead it send me to the web browser. This will always fail as the Teams JS requires Outlook to be notified of the success in the small window it must provide (like old Outlook and Teams does). How can I get this to work? We've had reports among our customers in the past that this happens in Teams and the only thing I've ever seen work is to log out of Teams entirely. But in Outlook that's not an option. I've tried to repair and reset Outlook via the Settings app in Windows to no avail.Primer: How to Schedule Azure Automation Runbooks to Process Microsoft 365 Data
