    Hi there,

     

    The fix was deployed for the following Office versions:

    1. Version 1803 (Build 9126.2196) and later
    2. Version 1804 (Build 9226.2135) and later
    3. Version 1805 (Build 9330.2017) and later

    Hope this helps.

     

    Guy.

Liz_wacoal , I am not aware of such a workaround. However, I suggest you publish your question at the General Discussion forum. Maybe someone will have a creative solution for you.
