New Landing Pages for Word, Excel and PowerPoint (rant)
So I found out this week that MS is piloting new landing pages for the core Office apps (again). Instead of loading in the M365 Home page, they now load in an entirely new page. Why was this necessary? We've already been here before and MS spent years moving everything to the Home app. The dust has finally settled and things are working great. Why move things out again?New to Win 11 and cant figure out where my files are going
Using: Win11, Microsoft 365 subscription, Dell Inspiron AIO Good Afternoon, I purchased a new computer with Win 11. I screwed up the setup because I chose set up as a new PC so It's hard to find old files. I would like to keep everything on ThisPC and only allow certain files/folders on One Drive. Right now, it looks as if everything is going to drive C and there are no folders available on This PC. This may be because before I stopped using my old computer, I backed up everything into OneDrive. Q: How to change OneDrive configuration back without losing everything that is already saved in the cloud? Q: How to add folders to ThisPC? Q: I would like to save everything by default to This PC. If I do that, but have the correct folder set for one drive, will the file automatically save on my pc and save a copy in the cloud. Thank you in advance for your help, I appreciate it. I hope I'm not as clear as mud. MissJaynee
Access Freezing
This has been bothering me for some time now. When I'm working in Access (which is alot of the time), I have been noticing that when I edit a field, label, etc. using the Shift+F2, after I edit the field and hit Enter for the changes to be accepted, Access comes to a screeching halt. Sometimes it is a matter of seconds. Other times, it will go until I hit Task Manager and end the process, which causes me to lose any of the changes I have made. And it seems to be more prevalent in the afternoons. Has anyone else run into this?
to big title bar in Office 365 update 2408
Hi all, since a couple of days I have to work with the ugly, annoying, awful, ... user interface in Office 365. The title bar size became horrible large. Compared with an explorer window from Win 10 it is nearly the double height. As an Office Poweruser (I'm working with the office products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) unluckily the whole day) I'm looking for smallen the title bar again. There was a registry hack, but on my machine this isn't working anymore. Because of the ribbon interface and a lot of not needed functions this is how my Quick Access Toolbars (QAT) are looking like: Now somebody could tell my, "OK, switch the QAT to the top, so that the title bar get more sense! Problem is, that the monochrome icons are absolutly boring AND especially for Word I can't differ between my macros, which I set with different colours. The title bar is smaller because of the standard buttons and the search field, so that not all my most loved commands have space here Dragging the window can not be done with the title bar, as it was since the beginning of time. I need to find some space somewhere. Does someone have an idea to reduce the size of the title bar as it was before? Or does someone have an idea to colorize the icons, when they are inside the title bar? If I consider that the taskbar is also increasing in size, especially in WIN 11 where this isn't adjustable, both sides (top + bottom) in sum are steeling to many space. Cheers! Kay
365 family subscription bug
Hello, I was using microsoft Powerpoint this morning, when my account was deactivated because “subscription expired”. I have a family 365 subscription and yet everything is in order. The license holder deleted me and remitted without success since the link works but once on my account is displayed "your subscription has expired since October 27, 2013" I even deleted my linked devices but without success. Despite my subscription being in order and the link working, I'm systematically returned to the "your subscription has expired since October 27, 2013" box, even though I'm currently under an active 365 family subscription.
365 App sign in and editing issues
Hello, I am attempting to edit a word document saved in OneDrive. I am signed in to Microsoft with my personal email where I have a full access subscription. Upon opening the document the app states "This account does not allow editing on your device. For an account with full access, contact your organization about your subscription plan". I attempt to sign in and it states "We couldn't find a work or school account with that email". **For reference I have used my Galaxy phone many times to edit documents. I'm not sure what the lost connection is now. I went to double check that I was opening the document from my personal email OneDrive and that I was signed into the 365 app with my personal email
Report all active users in tenant and their installed integrated apps
Our security team has requested that we block the install of any Copilot apps until our AI policy is in place. Before we do this, I'd like to know what apps from Microsoft 365 admin center > Settings > Integrated apps > Available apps are currently installed by our users. I don't see any way that the UI offers this capability, so I believe it will be PowerShell. I did already run the following script, but it returns only 2 apps, which are apps we have deployed to our users. It's possible our 2600 users haven't installed anything else, but not probable. Install-Module O365CentralizedAddInDeployment Import-Module -Name O365CentralizedAddInDeployment Connect-OrganizationAddInService Get-OrganizationAddIn If the above isn't possible, it would also be useful to find a script that would give me a list of users who have a given app (from 365 Integrated apps > Available apps) installed, such as CopilotForce or Microsoft Copilot Studio.Open in Read-Only mode pop-up option.
Good morning, I propose that MS developers add a new option to the contextual menu for document handling, which would be especially useful for online work. It is sometimes necessary to open a document in read-only mode, but there is currently no option to do so. It would be great here for example...
Family Calendar iOS
I have two organisers (spouse an I) and one member (child) in my family. Spouse and I can see the family calendar listed in iOS's native Calendar app. Child has the same setup but cannot see the calendar in iOS's native Calendar app. If I logon to my email account on outlook.com the Calender shows both under Other Calendars and Group (same calendar entries). If I logon to my child's account on outlook.com the Calendar only shows under Group. How can I have it show under Other Calendars on my child's account? Also, in desperation I installed the Outlook app on my child's iphone and that doesn't show Group Calendars either.
