How to get sharepoint properties panel enabled by default from Sharepoint Online
Previously with Sharepoint on prem and older Office version using the Document Information Panel (DIP) you could enable in SharePoint to always open/display the DIP when opening documents from a library. Now with the move to the SharePoint Properties Panel and using SharePoint Online I cannot find a way to have this enabled by default when opening documents. As Metadata is critical to using SharePoint as any form of a document management system this needs to be enabled. Is there some registry key or something from client side? Or some option in the maze of settings on the SharePoint Online side the equivalent of the DIP enabled one? This is what I mean by SharePoint Properties Panel:
Problem opening (desktop)word docs in Onedrive (does work when opened via ODFB online)
Hi, A user has the following problem: When opening a word file which is in a onedrive folder (which is shared with her and which is synced with the onedrive tool) word will hang indefinite untill I close it again. It cannot open the file in this way. Diagnosis so far.... When going into the folder via file explorer and checking the path length (including filename): 200 chars. I know word has a path limit of 218. Tried repair word both quick and online option.--> Still does not work. Start word in safe mode and with the /a mode -->does not work DOES WORK when I pause the onedrive sync client DOES WORK when I go to the file with onedrive online and choose open in word (the desktop app) DOES WORK when I put the file one directory higher (shorter path) Does NOT work when I first open word and then navigate to it by open file dialog. BUT gives me an error saying "the document name or path is invalid (20190731XX%20MeetingMinutes%20test.docx)" DOES WORK when I open it on another pc in the exact same location (shared one drive folder) although I understand that in "c:\users\\\\....." the part is shorter in my case. BUT if I make a folder one dir higher and giveit long name and put the file in there it DOES work. So I do not believe it is the path length. I see in the splash screen of word that it is actually opening the file on https://xxx.sharepoint.com/personal/..... ??? This is difference from the local path I thought I was opening it from "c:\users\\...." ?? I am lost? I really like to understand what is going on here? Can someone shed a light on this? I know a simple solution would be to put the file some dirs higher but I want to understand what is going on to prevent future problems I use ODFB, office365, word 2016, sync tool 19.123.0624.0005

Is there any way you can use Find and Replace to replace very specific instances of words? For instance, in my document I have "sent" and would like to replace it with someone's name so that it becomes "Name sent", but in the document I also have parts where it says "You sent". Is there any way I can get Word to ignore the "You"s in front of the word sent and only have it replace text where there is no "You" in front of sent? I tried using the wildcard [!You] but that didn't seem to work. Thanks Justin
