Does it show the same user on File > Account page?
- Erik WettergrenDec 09, 2018Iron ContributorYes, both are logged in with my work account.
- Dec 09, 2018Hi Erik,
How’s it getting on with the ODT?
Just a thought. On the screenshot you sent of the new computer. What happens when you click on the down arrow next to new slides? Can you send a screenshot of that?
I checked it out and most articles show that it’s there after selecting the down arrow. I just want to rule that out too.

Best, Chris- Erik WettergrenDec 11, 2018Iron ContributorRegarding ODT, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but I tried downloading the tool, updated the config files to set me as insider and ran the setup file. The only thing that happens is a blink of an eye pop-up dialog box and nothing more. Didn't solve the problem. Still not target and still no usable "reuse slides" function.
Is there any way to force a downgrade of Office to standard release to see if I can initiate an upgrade from that "position"?
