Thanks... I am pretty sure I could do that few weeks ago, because it was part of one of my weekly routine I have been doing since April.
Few weeks ago I was working with my Surface, with Win 10 (maybe not the very last update) and Office 365. I detected the change of behavior now that I use a different laptop, but still with WIn 10 (now withe the latest update) and Office 365.
But again, thank you very much for tryng to replicate the issued on your systems
