Resolved. Where Did the “Export Word to PowerPoint” Feature Go?
So here's something I almost missed… Microsoft quietly deprecated the “Export Word document to PowerPoint” feature in the Word for Web and desktop versions. No popup. No warning. Just—gone. Honestly, I didn’t notice at first because Copilot has been handling my presentations lately. It’s like having a personal assistant! 😁 I just open PowerPoint, ask Copilot to create a presentation using one, two, or even three Word documents, and watch it generate my first draft like magic. But here’s the thing—not everyone has access to Copilot. So if you're wondering where that export option went, you’re not imagining things—it’s been retired as of end of March 2025. And if someone on your team still relies on that feature, they may be caught off guard. The workaround? You guessed it—Ask Copilot. If you have access, it’s honestly more flexible and faster than the old method. Spread the word! This change is easy to miss but important to know—especially if your workflow still depends on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. If you find this information helpful, please mark it as the best response to assist others with the same question. Thank you. #traccreations4e 3/24/2025
I Can't use my own name to create a new Microsoft account in India.
I am an Indian Microsoft user, my full name is Aryan Rajput, which is legally registered by my parents in my country Republic of India. I don't know any norms of European countries about registering names, I don't know what restrictions are made, I can clarify my name, in my present situation is legal and legit. Moreover, none of my associates (including my parents) are pro-Nazi, and let me tell you leader of Nazism (I don't want to tell his name here hence I might be banned maybe) inspired by Indian culture and adopted terms like my name (Aryan means noble). Hence Microsoft should allow me to adopt my name in creating new account, because it's my right! At least they must allow in India where it is legal I hope the management would take necessary steps accordingly
MS 365 Settings changed and point to the wrong email address.
The MS support person directed me to change settings in an effort to consolidate two MS 365 accounts into one. In the process my access to the Outlook files in my primary address appear as those from the legacy address. I must receive emails separately to both and be able to send email from both as was the case before I lost functionality on March 12. Over ten hours on the phone with support did not yield a solution and I have submitted subsequent support requests that have been ignored. I cannot add the second email account to Outlook and efforts to change setting in MS 365 have not been effective.

What happened to keyword searching in One Drive?
I used to be able to search by keyword inside documents stored on One Drive (signed into One Drive Live website). Now the search function only seems to find keywords in document titles - not within the document itself. Has anyone else had this issue? If this is broken or gone now it pretty much makes One Drive pointless for me.
What is the best place inside Office 365 to store MXF files which have sizes between 35-50 GB
We have many large MXF files which have sizes between 35-50 GB. currently we are storing those files inside SharePoint online document libraries:- but seems SharePoint online is not designed to handle such large files. so my question is what is the best place to store those large files inside Office 365?Does Word count the number of characters of math expressions (integral, norm.)?
I need to count all characters (with no spaces) in the text that contains math expressions such as characters of integral, summation, norm, absolute value and etc. in the Microsoft Word Office document. I see that Microsoft Word Office (no matter which version) cannot count mathematical symbols. How should I do this? If Microsoft Word Office (no matter which version) cannot count the number of characters of mathematical expressions, please let us know.
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 Banasik
