My Word Add-in works in Windows and in Word online.But it fails in Mac at getFileAsync() method call
My add in works perfectly fine in Windows10 but when I upload the manifest file under com.microsoft.word/Documents/wef directory in mac os x (I am using EI Captian), I can see the Add-ins in word , and I am able to choose my add-in. My Add-in loads perfectly fine in Mac also and I am able to navigate to home.html and able to execute the custom login functionality. As part of the app functionality I need to call getFileAsync method. In Mac it fails and it does not show any error or it does not show anything in the logs. I tried to setup Vorlon to debug, but when I launch the web app from browser its able to connect to Vorlon (it show the client in vorlon dashboard), but when I trigger the app from within the word (by clicking the Add-ins button) Vorlon is not picking the client. Hence I am not able to test what is the issue with getFileAsync() method with Mac OS. Is there an easy way to debug the app, as it works perctly fine in Windows. I need to make sure the office Api's should run properly in mac. Please let me know if you have any pointers on this. Thanks.When Excel couldn't save a file, 3E0CF950.MACTF was created, but where and by which program?
. Currently running: Mac OS 10.14.6 Excel with Office for Mac 2021 Manual copies to iCloud. Also running with Parallels Desktop: Windows 10 Excel with Office 365 for Windows Autosave copies to OneDrive. Hello, I would appreciate some assistance with an unusual problem involving Excel for Mac 2021 and possibly with Mac OS X, Excel for Windows 365, iCloud, and OneDrive. I generally create, edit, and save my workbooks using Excel for Mac and Excel for Windows 365 on the same file and never had any problem. After making edits to a workbook, I tried to save the file in Excel for Mac 2021. A message appeared saying that it could not save it due to some sharing violation. It did not specify the message's source, nor a directory path or the enclosing directory name to help locate the file. Instead, it instructed me to close the workbook without saving it and to access a file named 3E0CF950.MACTF, rename it and save it as a regular Excel file. Microsoft technical support instructed me to search at: /Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data/Library/Preferences/AutroRecovery But the was no AutoRecovery directory. I also searched unsuccessfully on iCloud Drive and OneDrive, where I have autosave enabled when I edit my workbooks in Windows 10. I have also searched for it using Spotlight and the FIND command of the Finder with hidden files made visible. Nada. Although Microsoft tech support thinks that the file does not exist, however, I think it's unlikely that I would get a message so detailed to include the filename if none was created. A similar issue happened about a year ago before I had Excel for Windows installed. I was never able to find a resolution for it. Has anyone else experienced this? Before giving up, would anyone happen to know: Other locations to search on my Mac? A safe command line for Terminal to search more thoroughly? If Excel would create temp files with the ".MACTF" extension, or could this be a product of the Mac OS, iCloud or the OneDrive to which I enable autosave when I edit my Excel workbooks in WIndows? Whether the file name "3E0CF950.MACTF" ïs a random name, or is it a generic file name specific to my issue, and if so, what does it mean? If it's normal for Excel for Mac 2021 to lack an AuitoRecovery folder? Your kind assistance would be much appreciated. Please advise.
Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working
In Office for Mac desktop applications (e.g PPT v16.4.4) my keyboard shortcuts have suddenly become non-functional. For example, command-C does not copy, command-V does not paste. They are all "greyed out" in the menus (see image). I am running macOS 11.1 on 16" MacBook Pro. Anyone know a) why this is happening and b) how to turn them back on? I've done searching but have come up empty .
PowerPoint on M1 Mac does not work properly
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I have been using an M1 MacBook for several months now. Unfortunately, I am still experiencing significant issues with PowerPoint. Some functions do not work. Among them are objects arrangement, object alignment, and object grouping as well as making text bold, in italics, or aligned. I have been using Teams or the browser version to make those edits, but I am sick of it. Today, I reinstalled the app but the bugs remain. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you very much! Cheers, ChristianTrack Changes icon in Ribbon changed from switch to dropdown (with no update)
I am using Office 365 on a Mac, and use the Track Changes function in Word a lot. Yesterday, the Track Changes icon in the Ribbon changed from the usual green "switch" icon to a page-and-pen icon with a drop-down menu. The drop down options are "For Everyone" or "Just Me". There was no update of the software -- I just noticed that it had changed. At same time, the Track Changes switch icon disappeared from the Quick Access toolbar, where I had placed it for convenience. Many of my ribbon settings were reset, too. Does anyone know why/how this might have happened, and how I can restore the switch icon for Track Changes (and get it back in the Quick Access toolbar too)? Thank you.
New Outlook for mac not syncing passw
I am having one weird issue in new Outlook (16.57 or later), where users change password (From Nomad or AD or System pref or anywhere else like from Okta) and then they are not getting/sending emails once they send it just hang on the outbox. Tried to close/quite/relaunch the outlook but no success. Previously we had the new toggle button where our users use to use that to fix this issue but now Microsoft has removed that option as well. We are using the Nomad and OKTA back in IDP. Is there anyone else facing this issue, if yes, please share the solution.
Remember NTLM proxy credentials on Office 2016
When I use the Office 2016 for Mac applications on my work computer that connects to the network via HTTP Proxy with NTLMv2, every time I am asked to provide proxy credentials. You should find a way to store these credentials in Office or use the ones stored in the network settings of Mac. Note: The company's proxy does not support the HTTPS protocol and connects to port 8080

Is Office 365 untouchable?
We just purcahsed a company that has Office 365 installed on all their Macs. We only use plain Office for all our Macs which is installed with a corporate serial number. I need to completely remove Office 365 from the new Macs and install our version. On the new Macs I've been removing the license (if there is one) and trying to delete all components using a script. When I reinstall our version with the serial number Office looks and acts exactly like it did when it was 365. I can tell this because the user can still select Log In and get back into their 360 account. When I install our version from scratch, there is a Log in button but it takes you to a blank screen. Even after deleting everything on the Mac that contains the word Microsoft, reinstall our version with our serial number it hasn't changed anything. Can Office 365 be completely removed so I can install a different version?
