Copying and linking Excel tables (landscape mode) to Word (portrait mode)
Hello, I want to insert tables from Excel into a Word document. However, the Word document is in portrait orientation and has a header and footer that need to be located on the narrow side margins of the pages displaying the tables as they would in portrait mode. The tables, on the other hand, are large enough to span across multiple pages in landscape orientation and need to be separated - automatically at best. Ideally, the table would automatically repeat the header row at the top of each new page. Additionally, the inserted Excel table would be linked to the original file, so changes in the .xlsx file would reflect in the table inserted in the Word document. How can I achieve this goal? Here is what I have tried already: section breaks - helps, inserting and linking the table in landscape mode but issues with footer, header and page breaks arise creating an extra text field and rotating the table - no link and therefore no updated data in the table, next to the issue with page breaks In the end I need to insert around 20-30 multi-page long tables in landscape format and would really appreciate avoiding a tremendous amount of work, every time I need to update the data in the tables. If there is more information needed, I´d be happy to share them. Thank you for your assistance!
MS Word Freezing when navigating between Chrome and Word. Safe mode works. now?
Hi All, First, a bit of context. I teach online, so I constantly navigate between MS. Word and Chrome/Firefox. It is pretty much a requirement for what I do. I am running Office 2016 on my home machine. This has worked completely fine until about two weeks ago. Now, after an indiscriminate amount of time (it varies), Word will freeze when I enter back into Word from another window. This has persisted even though I have deleted and reinstalled the program. Safe mode allows me to work within Word per normal, and is a good short term fix. However, I am stumped at how to fix this long term. Additional details Only Word freezes I have plenty of RAM (32gb DDR4) Windows is up to date Chrome is up to date Chrome does not have any extensions enabled I do not have any add-ins enabled for MS Word RAM/CPU usage are not spiking in Task manager Malware/Virus scan has no results It is not related to the computer sleeping/waking up Given all of these factors, it seems like a Word issue only. I do not have the issue in PowerPoint or Excel - just word. My guess is a bad registry entry, or a corrupted file somewhere. What is puzzling to me is that the issue persists through a re-install. Thoughts?

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:
Creating unique headers and footers?
I am looking for a word processing product that I can create a template with unique headers and footers that I can share with users who can only add text content but not change or delete the headers and footers. I looked at Word, but it does not have this capability. I am trying to convince my boss to use Google doc's but he is old school. I tried telling him that Word is old, outdated tech and very limited, but he asked me to check if there is another MS product that comes with our 365 platform that can do what I described here?
