If Prestige Southern Star is experiencing difficulties with sharing PDF files in Microsoft Teams, there could be a few potential solutions to enable sharing of Word files:
1. Check file size: Make sure that the file size is not too large. If it is, it may cause issues with sharing. Try compressing the file to reduce its size and then attempt to share it again.
2. Check permissions: Ensure that the user trying to share the file has the necessary permissions to do so. This can be checked by going to the "Files" tab in Teams, selecting the file, and then clicking on "Manage Access" to see who has access to the file.
3. Check file format: Ensure that the file is in a compatible format. For example, if the file is in an older version of Word, it may not be compatible with Teams. Try converting the file to a newer format and then attempt to share it again.
4. Update Microsoft Teams: Make sure that Microsoft Teams is up to date. Sometimes issues can be caused by outdated software. Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center and check for any available updates.
5. Try an alternative method: If the issue persists, try an alternative method of sharing the file, such as sharing it via OneDrive or SharePoint. This can be done by clicking on the "Share" button next to the file in Teams and selecting the desired option.
