I would like to see the event times in my timezone in Outlook Calendar all the time regardless of the timezone used when event was created.   For example:  Event is created with UTC timezone but my timezone is UTC+2 (this can happen when using different integrations or calendar syncs which create events for me in my calendar)   Current behavior: Open Outlook Calendar - event times in UTC+2 Click on the event and a little popup is shown - event times in UTC+2 Click edit and the short form for editing is displayed - event times in UTC+2 Click on more options and the full form is displayed - event times in UTC     ...

Hello!   These are two features which we are extremely interested in. I've been asking in many Community Calls but I haven't had any ETAs yet, so hopefully posting here helps.   Please could we have a consistent method for Word, Excel and PowerPoint to save a file? Word and Excel have ‘context.document.save()’ and ‘context.workbook.save() but they lack similar options for behaviors (eg. skip the save dialogue). PowerPoint does not have context.presentation.save() yet. Please could we have an equivalent method for all three (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with similar options/behaviors? This is really needed for developers. Please an ETA would be appreciated.   Similar to the previous question, could we have an equivalent method for all three (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to close files with similar options/behaviors? This is also really needed for developers. Please an ETA would be appreciated.   Thank you so much in advance! ... View more

The Office.context.document.getFileAsync-API already supports PDF export. Unfortunately, the file format is PDF 1.8 whereas we need a PDF/A compatible export. It is possible to specify PDF/A when saving the PDF manually through the "Options" dialog in the Office application. Unfortunately, there is no (documented) way to specify the type of PDF in the getFileAsync-API. It would be great, if the API is expanded so that PDF/A compatibility can be requested as well (either with a new file format flag or as an option in the optional GetFileOptions-object). ...

Our clients often need to download formidable spilling ranges from their ERP systems in a single custom function call.    The minimal repro repository mentioned in this bug: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/2786 emulates the GI() function in Velixo add-in.   It's one of our most popular functions in our legacy XLL product and a big selling point for our company. It routinely returns dozens of thousands of rows which the customer pivots, sorts, filters, and aggregates in Excel.   It needs to work in exactly the same way across the legacy/new office.js based product, otherwise we simply can't promote migration to the new cross platform solution.   There is no workaround to the problem which makes it so urgent and painful: we need backwards compatibility with our old product so it needs to remain a single custom function call. As per MSFT in the GitHub issue, there is no addin <-> host request batching within function calls, only across multiple different function calls.   IMO the best solution to this would be to abstract away any payload size limit for CF return values from the add-in developers — and automatically batch those requests in chunks.   ...

This is something that has been raised in the past on other platforms: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/office-365-on-linux/262e3066-a71e-4af7-9600-af9f8d0746b6 Opening it again here as it would be really nice to have linux native versions of Word, Excel, Outlook etc. More and more MS software is getting ported to Linux at the moment: Teams, VSCode, MSSQL etc. We're standarised on MSOffice here in work, but linux is much smoother for website development. I'm currently running software through wsl, but that is slow. Would be lovely to use Fedora or Ubuntu and be able to use Office365 on there on the odd occaisions I use them. ... View more

Background I recently posted two questions to Stack Overflow: Outlook Add-In: how to automatically reply based on custom logic? Outlook Add-In: how to simulate automatic reply with external service? In brief, I am trying to find a way to send an automatic reply to an email based on custom logic, e.g. whether the sender is verified according to an external service. (The automatic reply feature native to Outlook is extremely limited.)   The Oulook Add-Ins team answered that this is not currently possible because web add-ins require the context of an item to run. So, a user would need to manually select a message before the add-in could do anything.   Another Stack Overflow user answered that this is currently possible but with VSTO add-ins only. Unfortunately, VSTO is a very old framework and only works with Windows and desktop Outlook, while modern users often use web Outlook on other platforms.   Request: Allow Add-Ins to Run Without Item Context Therefore, I request that Outlook add-ins be allowed to run without item context, so they can take action without the user manually selecting an item. This would allow me to build such an automatic reply feature.   Of course, it will be important to tightly scope what the add-in can do without item context and make users aware of what they're agreeing to by installing such an add-in. But this is entirely achievable, and users would very much benefit from an add-in that can do more for them.   -----   I'm currently unable to make any progress on my automatic replies feature, so please consider implementing this soon! Thank you. ... View more

Context We are working on an add-in focused on Formatting. Our specific need involves identifying textual and stylistic discrepancies within shapes, like font or size inconsistencies. The Office JS API limits us.   Pain It's not possible to detect formatting zones within a shape's TextRange.   Example Imagine a scenario where the text range reads "Hello World!" with the second word in bold: Accessing the root text range's formatting doesn't reveal this bold formatting. While getSubstring offers a workaround, determining the correct indices to identify the bold section becomes a guessing game. Obtaining a comprehensive view of formatting requires scanning the entire text range character by character.   Request Could we streamline this process by accessing a list of formatting ranges? ...

Currently, it is not possible to pass a formula to the Office API and receive an evaluation of it. There are workarounds, like writing to an empty cell, or writing to a scoped name. Both solutions are not directly pretty.   Ideal API:   // ... await Excel.run(async (context) => { let sheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getActiveWorksheet(); const evaluatedFormula = await sheet.evaluateFormula(`=SUM(A1:A5,Sheet2!B1:B5)`) // best possible return value /* { "value": 165, "type": number, "cells_included_in_calculation": ["Sheet1!A1:A5","Sheet2!B1:B5"], "precedents": ["Sheet1!A1:A5","Sheet2!B1:B5"] // can deviate from cells included, in case of formulas like SUMIF / SUMIFS / COUNTIF / COUNTIFS / INDEX / ... } => in case of an error, it could simply return one */ } // ...     ...

Hello! In the current version, we can get selected data in PowerPoint/Excel/Word using `Office.context.document.getSelectedDataAsync`. However, this method can only work for some specific types of data such as `Office.CoercionType`. In PowerPoint, `ShapeType` is a very important kind of data, I want to modify some selected shapes in slides. Maybe I missed some methods to get the selected shapes in PowerPoint, I would be appreciated if you have any ideas about that. I believe this is also really needed for developers.

I'd like to create an add-in which create a .msg file of an email and sends it to a remote server for archival purposes. Outlook already can create .msg files through the "Save as..." dialog but this functionality is not exposed to the Office API. I could access all relevant information through the API and create an .eml file for example (or use EWS/graph-API for that), but I'd prefer to leverage the existing outlook functionality.   I suggest a method "getMsgFileAsync( options: Office.AsyncContextOptions, callback?: (asyncResult: Office.AsyncResult<ArrayBuffer>) => void): void" on the "Office.context.mailbox.item" object. As far as permissions go, "ItemRead" should suffice. ... View more
