"Format picture" has disappeared from Outlook Mac
I use the Outlook app on 3 different MacBooks. Two have recently auto-updated Outlook to version 16.102.2, and I've lost the ability to format a picture in the body of an email. I use lots of screens...
So, I think i finally found a way to get back the format picture option as well as many other things which were gone with the new outlook for Mac. The process is disabling the 'Connected Experiences' (as microsoft calls them). Here is the process:
- from Outlook, go to Outlook->Settings->Privacy
- Uncheck the 'Turn on optional connected experiences
- Restart outlook
- Then go to help->Clear Application Data
- Select 'Experimental Features' and 'Identities' (first and third options in my case)
- Click on Clear button (outlook will restart)
- Open Outlook again, and sign in to your account
- Restart outlook (important, dont skip this step)
- You should now have the old outlook Format Picture option
Thank you so much! Your recipe worked 100% What a relief.
'Connected Experiences' are apparently 'Experimental Features'... Well, Microsoft — if I have to choose between being in on the latest "features" and doing my work, I prefer the latter.
