Office 365 apps are closing randomly on MacOS
Hi, is anyone currently experiencing issues with all MS Office 365 apps (Outlook, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, Word) in the way that they close all at once, randomly, and you are probably losing work due to the unexpected shutdown. I got a new MacBook Pro with M3 Max with Sonoma 14.5 recently, and after using it for a few hours, it seems that sporadically, all O365 apps mentioned above that are open at the moment are closing all at once, randomly, without any error message, without any prior notice or any user interaction. ALL other applications except Office are working fine, also OneDrive and MS Teams stay open without any issues. After using the MacBook for a few days, it seems that it'smaybe more likely to happen when the Mac is going to standby / lid closed and is woken up afterwards? Steps I already tried without any change of the behavior, each also including a complete reboot of the machine, in the following order. Updating Office with the MS AutoUpdater application Simple uninstall of MS Office applications Reinstallation by using a clean new O365 download Manual uninstallation using https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3 Clean reinstallation after complete manual uninstallation After uninstalling again, I tried to install it manually with deselection of the MS Defender which is included in the O365 installer package (Defender is already installed by default on the Mac). Renaming the MacBooks hostname from XXX-MBP-ABC123DEF to XXXMBPABC123DEF and renaming the SSD name from Macintosh HD to MacintoshHD. Complete wipe of the MacBook with my IT department and reinstall / setup of the machine, followed by starting auto updater and updating everything to the latest version. None of these steps is working, and Office keeps shutting down / crashing without any prior notice at random times, most likely after a sleep. It is enough to just open up some office applications and leave the Mac alone, after return you will find the Mac with all office applications closed (except Teams and Onedrive as mentioned above). Furthermore, I already set the network availability during sleep within my energy saving settings: Wake for network access from "Only on Power adapter" to "Always" Does anyone have any further ideas for analysis or a solution? On my private MBP with M1 Pro and Sonoma 14.5 there are no issues at all. Thank you!!!SolvedMichael1240Jul 02, 2024Brass Contributor24KViews5likes96CommentsPlease add Markdown support
Please add support for Markdown editing/rendering. EverNote and Boostnote all support this, but OneNote still lacks this feature, while it remains so many developers' main notetaking tool. Take myself as an example, I enjoy its seamless integration with OneDrive and powerful search function, but find it difficult to properly take down coding related notes -- I was forced to format code snippets into monospaced font with shading to make them look like "code snippets". To elaborate the user story about this idea: The user can create a new "regular page" or a "Markdown page". If the latter, then Markdown tags entered are rendered as you type (e.g. #title, >quote, *bold*, `code`...) The user might also enjoy a "cell editing" mode (similar to Jupyter Notebook). So if the cursor is placed in a cell, then it changes to raw text view. And once escaped from this cell, it gets rendered. And maybe enable some Jupyter/VS Code stype shortcut keys, too (Alt+Up/Down to move the cell, Alt+Shift+Up/Down to duplicate the cell, Ctrl+Shift+K to kill a line, etc) This way notetaking will be more efficient/fun, and many developers would thank MS!frank-yifei-wangJul 13, 2021Steel Contributor112KViews172likes63Comments'End appointments and meetings early' feature now broken in Office Cloud Policy Service
Originally the option to in Outlook to 'End appointments and meetings early' was a simple on/off option and was reflected in the registry with a DWORD 'endeventsearly' inHKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar Now a recent update now allows users to select 'End early' or 'Start Late' and the DWORD has been replaced with String ValueShortenEvents that can have the value 'End_Early', 'Start_Late', or 'None'. However the Office Cloud Policy Service still only shows the previous settings which applies only the DWORD which now has no effect. Can you please update the Office Policy Service to reflect the new setting in Outlook so we can push this out to our users? Thanks!Joe SavageFeb 24, 2021Brass Contributor49KViews2likes61CommentsOneNote application not launching/opening (android)
Hi everyone, A couple of days ago, my One Note andorid application was opening just fine, however, I have noticed since yesterday that the application simply doesn't launch and remain stuck on the app logo screen. I tried clearing up the app cache and that didn't help. Can someone share if they have faced this issue?SehreenJMay 11, 2020Copper Contributor19KViews0likes54CommentsTeams Posts & Files Tabs - making Files Tab as the default AND Renaming the General channel
Hi there Two queries. Is there a way we can make the Files the default tab when opening Teams, currently this is Posts and most people are looking for a file, so it becomes an extra click. Alternatively can we change the order of the Post and Files tabs, so Files comes first. Re the General folder - is there a way to rename this Many thanks RanaRana_SenojakMar 31, 2022Brass Contributor80KViews30likes38CommentsOneNote and Outlook integration
Would someone help me to understand what is going on with Outlook for Windows 10? I've confused myself by going around in circles looking for an answer. I broke my laptop yesterday and my nice shiny new machine has fresh software along with its new smell. However I was using Outlook 2016 and I was able to send emails to Outlook for filing, create meeting notes and do all sorts of things to get emails out of my inbox. There were buttons to send to Outlook and life was quite lovely. I understand that Outlook for Windows 10 is not Outlook 2016 and there are features not yet implemented in the latest version. What I am trying to understand is whether the integration features that I seem to have "lost" are part of the "not yet implemented" features or am I just being a fool and not understanding where to get the buttons which were very very handy to have. I hope I am making my question clear - my brain is hurting trying to sort this out.SolvedJacinta4870Apr 03, 2019Copper Contributor95KViews3likes32CommentsIssue during sync notes between Samsung Notes and OneNote
I have just updated my Samsung Galaxy s6 lite to the latest version of Samsung Notes, which includes the possibility to sync the notes between Samsung Notes and OneNote. I have made all the passages at this linkhttps://support.microsoft.com/it-it/office/sincronizzare-samsung-notes-con-il-feed-di-onenote-581e0085-8518-4303-abfd-4fdfb92120b6?ui=it-it&rs=it-it&ad=it#:~:text=On%20your%20mobile%20device%2C%20open%20the%20Samsung%20Notes,the%20next%20screen%2C%20tap%20Sign%20in%20to%20continue. (confirmed both by Samsung and Microsoft support) but on OneNote for Windows 10, OneNote 2016 and OneNote's feed on Outlook.com doesn't show any of my notes on Samsung Notes. I have tried also to reinstall the app with the Microsoft support and also to re-login to the app with my Microsoft account, the one I use on OneNote, but nothing changed. My brother also has the same tablet and also the same problem: no notes showed. I have called at first Samsung, who said that is a problem of syncing, so is a problem of microsoft. I also think it could be a problem of syncing, because when I press on "Sync now" on the Samsung Notes app, it sync more than 100 notes instantly (very strange)... The microsoft support told me to open a new discussion here, if no one talked about it before (I searched but nothing found), so sorry if I made another discussion with this argument. Thanks to could help meLumacherNov 26, 2020Copper Contributor24KViews3likes28CommentsWord for Mac File > Share > Send Document Doesn't Work
Microsoft Word for Mac Version 16.55 (21111400) Mac OS Monterrey12.0.1 (21A559) When I pull down File > Share > Send Document, Word gives a "donk" (error) sound. Same thing for File > Share > Send PDF. When I do File > Share > Send HTML, the system opens Outlook and appears to prepare an email message to send the file. Any suggestions? By the way, Outlook is not my default email program. A different email program (Spark) is designated for my Mac, using the prescribed but odd way to do that: open the Mac Mail app, and pull down preferences (for Mail), and in the General tab specify the default email reader.ortnpalmsDec 14, 2021Copper Contributor21KViews1like25CommentsChannel MonthlyEnterprise

This is probably the most annoying bug out there. This issue has been ongoing for years now and it seems like Microsoft is not fixing this issue. I have searched through multiple threads and I haven't found any solution for this... Microsoft OneNote constantly jumps to the top of the page when looking at an inserted PDF. This usually happens when I'm scrolling with my MacBook Pro trackpad. I'm begging anyone who has a solution to this to speak up. It is extremely annoying having to scroll back to a specific page on a 40+ page document. Sometimes, it happens every 30 seconds or so and it makes the user experience almost unbearable at this point. The only reason I haven't switched away from OneNote is that I have all my other notes on this program. PLEASE HELP!!
