Hi Microsoft 365 Insiders! In the spirit of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, let’s highlight the importance of creating PDFs that everyone can access and enjoy. Our latest blog post by Peter Wu provides a comprehensive guide on how to create accessible PDFs using Microsoft 365 apps. Blog link: Create accessible PDFs with Microsoft 365 Here’s why this matters: • Over 1 billion people worldwide live with disabilities. Making your content accessible empowers them to fully participate in the digital world. • Microsoft 365 apps have built-in tools that help you make content accessible as you go, including the Accessibility Checker that runs while you work. • When saving or exporting your document as a PDF, use the ‘Save or Export as PDF’ command to preserve accessibility features. Remember, ‘Print as PDF’ won’t keep your PDFs accessible. Let’s embrace these practices and ensure that our digital content is inclusive for all. Check out the blog to learn more about creating accessible PDFs and join us in making a difference!

Attention Tech Community! Teams Premium users now have the option to translate the meeting transcript into another language than what was originally spoken in the meeting. With more than 30 languages available the world is now your oyster. To use this feature, users need to be members of the Teams Public Preview or Microsoft 365 Targeted Release, have a Teams Premium license, and use the Windows, macOS or web (Edge, Chrome) Teams client. Other meeting participants aren’t required to be members of the Teams Public Preview. Interested? Learn more in our blog post!

One of the features that I really like in the Outlook desktop apps is the ability to delay sending an email, that way I can take notes on the go and ensure the email only gets sent during business hours (to preserve digital work / life balance for my colleagues). A few tech platforms are introducing digital well being features, and think this feature could be really helpful. Note: Another limitation of the delay sending feature is that it requires the sender's machine to have the desktop app running (otherwise the message won't get out of your outbox).
Beta 2505 - OFFICE_MODULE_VERSION_MISMATCH
After Microsoft 365 updated to Beta Version 2505 earlier this week (April 8), Reliability Center shows an OFFICE_MODULE_VERSION_MISMATCH error when the program is closed for all installed apps (Word, Excel, and Outlook Classic). Furthermore, when Outlook runs Reliability Center shows an error identifying that the Search Protocol Host crashed. The faulting module is identified as ntdll.dll. I know the error is linked to this Beta Version, as I restored a system backup from April 7 that had Beta Version 2504 installed. There were no errors. As soon as Microsoft 365 updated to Version 2505, the errors returned. I'm hanging back on 2504 for now with updates disabled. Hopefully the issue will be resolved with the next Beta release.
Unable to edit Outlook Meeting's body text (I'm not the organizer).
After the M365 apps monthly updates in our organization. The Organizer can edit the it. But, if the meeting room invite sent to the "Reception" team(Who has the Editor access to room mailbox) to edit the meeting/Accept. Can now only edit the title and not the body text. This was reported by many users. Anyone has come across such issue in recent time? Do you have any solution??New Translation Functions in Excel: TRANSLATE and DETECTLANGUAGE
Hey Microsoft 365 Insiders, Great news for Excel enthusiasts! Excel now includes powerful translation functions, allowing you to translate and detect languages directly within your spreadsheets. The new TRANSLATE and DETECTLANGUAGE functions help break down language barriers, making your data more accessible and your workflow smoother. Discover how it works in our latest blog post by Gedion Alemayehu, Product Manager on the Excel team: New Translation Functions in Excel: TRANSLATE and DETECTLANGUAGE NOTE: These are preview functions. Their signature and results may change substantially before being broadly released, based on your feedback. So, we do not recommend using these functions in important workbooks until they are generally available. Thanks!
