"Heading" and "Body" fonts are sometimes incorrectly displaying as Times New Roman
This appears to have started with the latest update that also made table formatting go nuts. Sometimes when we open a document from SharePoint, any text that has been formatted with "Body" or "Headings" will display as TNR. The font box will show "Times New Roman (Body)". The style definition will show "Body". Under the Design tab, the font scheme shows the Heading and Body as both being "Aptos" though, which is correct. Limited testing shows that closing Word down completely fixes it. But it's causing a lot of consternation!How to unprotect Excel sheet if forgot the password
I recently encountered a problem and hope to get your help. I set a protection password for an Excel file before. Now I want to modify some data, but I found that I forgot Excel password. I wonder if there is any way to remove the protection or unprotect Excel sheet password? If anyone knows a related solution or has had a similar experience, please share it, thank you very much! This file is very important to me, and there is a lot of work data in it. I have tried some methods found on the Internet, but none of them worked. It would be great if someone could provide some specific steps or recommend some tools.
Security Score in Security Admin center not updating
Hi, I am looking at the security score in the security admin center and trying to apply some of the easy items to improve the score. For example, "Move messages that are detected as impersonated users by mailbox intelligence" which needs anti-phishing policy with the ‘Enable mailbox intelligence’ and ‘Enable intelligence for impersonation protection’ options enabled ensure that the ‘If mailbox Intelligence detects an impersonated user’ option set to ‘Quarantine the message’ Both of which are now done But my score will not change and the reccomendation doesn't go away. In this example i have only the default policy, Office365 AntiPhish Default, and it is applied to all users - 408 users (100%). Can anyone point me towards what I am doing wrong or missed? I have applied 7 of the listed recommended actions with no score change so far so i'd like to work it out before I get too far into it if i'm doing it wrong. Thanks for any advice Ian

VictorOutlook for Mac - Upload and Share is not working as access "Recipients of this message" is missing
New Outlook for Mac has since some versions back gotten the feature where the user can upload a file and share it to the recipients of the e-mail. The file will be per default be uploaded to DOWNLOAD folder in OneDrive. Now this is not working on Outlook for Mac as the whole access permission Recipients of this message" is missing. On Windows and Outlook on Web, this is available, but not for New Outlook for Mac. It seems that this feature is not yet fully developed on Outlook for Mac. Any others that see the same and can confirm?
Another issue with Value transformation.
I've played for a couple of days with this, having tried a number of different solutions that worked for others. Cannot figure out how to make a text field convert to value. Here is my XLS. I am running MS Excel for Mac, V 16.102.1 (25101829), Office Home and Business 2021. Years of my "moderate skills" applied with Excel but stuck on this transformation. https://1drv.ms/x/c/4d0957bca9736d6d/Ec0gUD0-JTlCsi2fCIg8bpUBvkTobtXpP5Mt-piIA90uqg?e=AGOdCDCell references
Hi everyone! I want to know if there is a way to have a cell reference like this: In my workbook, I use a formula to add a range of cells (eg. "SUM(C1:C40)"). Suppose I constantly change the numbers (eg. sometimes I want to add C5:C37), so what I WOULD LIKE to do is, say, type the cell numbers in different cells (eg. in my example, I would type the number "5" in, say, Cell A1, and the number "37" in, say, Cell A2), and Excel should figure out that I want to add C5:C37. Something to the tune of, to have a cell reference like "SUM(C[a1{which, in my example, would be "5"}]:C[a2(which in my example, would be "37"}]. In other words, if I can just type the cell number which I want to refer to, and Excel will "pick up" on it, that would be great for me.
MS Forms If function ignoring new data
Hello, I have a MS form setup collating information, I need to then reformat how this data comes in so it can be copied directly into another bit of software. Currently we have sheet 1 as below which is what gets filled in automatically and directly from the form I have created a new sheet in the same excel file which then pulls the data from sheet 1 and rearranges it into the order I need. This uses the function as below. =IF(Sheet1!J2="","",Sheet1!J2) This works fine when initially setup, but when new entries are submitted to the form and new rows of data appear in sheet 1, the If formula on sheet 2 then skips these new data rows. For example if a new submission to the form has been made, then on sheet 2 cell b5 will say =IF(Sheet1!J6="","",Sheet1!J6) which is correct but the cell in the one below will =IF(Sheet1!J8="","",Sheet1!J8) which has missed J7 Can anyone shed any light on this? Thank youHow to Check Unexpected Sign-Ins Against Utility Accounts
Utility accounts exist in every Microsoft 365 tenant. These accounts are not intended for normal user activity and include accounts used for Exchange room and shared mailboxes and the break-glass or emergency accounts intended to allow administrators to sign-in if their usual accounts are blocked. This article shows how to use PowerShell and the Microsoft Graph to check sign-in events to ensure that the accounts aren't being accessed. https://practical365.com/check-utility-accounts-break-glass-signins/Custom Fields in Booking not showing in calendar invites
I have added Custom Fields in the Booking configuration, see below. But those are not showing in the calendar invite but only in a separate confirmation email. Would it be possible to see the answers for those customs fields in the calendar invite?
Trouble Setting Up Computer
Here's my dilemma: I'm setting up a new computer. Updates download and install just fine. I'm clicking through the pages, country, keyboard, etc. I get to to the one that wants you to set up your Microsoft account. I enter my email, then request a code, then enter the code. I get a page saying that since I didn't use a password that I need to create a PIN. I click on the Create PIN button and get a page that just spins and spins and spins and spins. I get someone on the tech support chat. We do the whole hold-the-power-button-for-5-seconds thing. The setup starts over. This time I request a password after I enter my email. I get sent to the same page saying that since I didn't use a password I needed to create a PIN. I click on the Create PIN button and get the page that perpetually spins. It never goes to the page to create a PIN. I wait for a while, like minutes, like unusually long for a page to load. I the routine several more times. Same result. I create a new account, use a new email address, new password, same thing. Internet connection is stable. Same behavior on a different Internet connection. The Create PIN page is not working. Also, one should not be required to sign in or create an account to set up a computer. There is no way to skip it. Moreover, the program sends you to the "since you didn't enter a password" page whether you entered a password or not. Additionally, I already a PIN, I'm being asked to create things that should already be associated with my account, it found my email and password, why not my PIN? I'm just trying to set up this Lenovo. Thoughts?Word in Office 365: Can't print selection if it's in a table
How come if I select a table and print, the Print Selection option is disabled, but if I select a table plus one preceding or following line of text, it's enabled? If I select any part of a table -- a group of rows or columns, or even a piece of text within a single cell -- Print Selection is disabled. I can't print the any part of the table unless I also print something outside it too.
D365 F&O: dual write error
Hi all, I hope this is the right place where to ask my question. We have set up a dual write solution between D365 F&O and CRM Sales. In D365 we have an error when we create a new contact, it seems that the dual write is not correctly sincronizing for first the global addressbook table. How can we setup the dual write assigning priorities or syncronization sequences? Thanks in advance for your help. Andrea
Can't Login to Authenticator App
I am unable to login to my Microsoft 365 Business account, because I'm unable to login to my Authenticator App. I am also the only administrator on my business account, so no one in my organization can help me. Microsoft online support and phone support just keep sending me in circles. The only way I see to create a support ticket is to login, but my issue is that I can't login. Help, please!Title: Expose SHA-256 or SHA-1 for Mail Attachments in Microsoft Graph
Problem Email attachments in Graph don’t include a content hash. To identify or match attachments, developers have to download the entire file first. That wastes bandwidth and time and increases exposure. OneDrive/SharePoint already return hashes, but mail does not, so experiences are inconsistent. Request Add a server-provided content hash to every mail attachment. Prefer SHA-256. If that’s not feasible initially, expose SHA-1 as a minimum to align with existing Drive item hashes. Benefits Faster and cheaper: avoid downloading large files just to tell if you already have them. Deduplication: detect repeated attachments across threads and mailboxes. Security operations: correlate attachments with threat intel by hash and triage suspicious emails without fetching payloads. eDiscovery and compliance: confidently match the same document across mail and files. Consistency: a predictable, uniform approach across Mail and OneDrive/SharePoint.
