Disable Copilot in Microsoft 365 Personnel et Famille
Hi, I was particularly annoyed to see the Copilot icon appearing recently on all products (word, excel,...). Impossible to disable it on Mac. Particularly bugging as I definitely do not want to either test or use Copilot. What can be done? Or when the issue will be solved? BR
External user with "Reviewer" permission not able to edit content controls
A document was shared to an external user by me with "Reviewer" permission. He reported that he was not able to edit contents of the content controls (regardless of the type). I validated this by sharing the document to my personal email and faced the same issue.
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
UI for custom font and color schemes in Office for macOS
Hello, I am not 100% sure if this is the correct discussion space, but: until now there is still no user interface for macOS users to create a custom font or color scheme! On Windows it is so easy; on macOS you have to dig up weird directories and write an XML file. What gives? Best, Satrio
Turning off email notifications about new comments in one certain file
Hi All! I found a solution to turn off all email notifications on new comments in my shared files (through settings on SharePoint), but it doesn't really solve my problem. In project files I work on with my colleagues, email notifications are helpful for monitoring workflows and streamline the process. At the same time, I'm an owner of yearly excel files shared with a big team in order to monitor the work on all clients and automate the visualization of it, but it gets commented on a lot and I don't need to get all of that on my Outlook. Is there any way to turn off email notifications about new comments for just one file without turning them off on all my shared files? Kind regards, Jakub Banasik
I forgot my word document password, can I recover it?
This is so frustrating! A while ago I set a password for an important Word document to keep it safe, but when I wanted to open it today, I found that I couldn't remember the password at all! I tried several possible combinations, but none of them worked. The document contains some very important work materials, and it would take too much time to reorganize it. I've searched online, but most of the methods seem unreliable. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Is there a way to recover forgotten Word document password, or open the document? I'm using Windows 11 and the file is in .docx format. We need to find a reliable solution as soon as possible. Thanks! 🙏
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
Microsoft 365 Transcribe
As a technical writer, I commonly like to edit my documents using the Read Aloud feature in Microsoft Word. My Business Essentials edition of Microsoft Word is a web only copy and does not carry a full version of an Editor (shown below): In the process of putting in a Read Aloud add-in, I found this really great feature for those who do not like to type. The Dictate feature can be accessed by clicking its named button on the Ribbon located to the top of the screen. Microsoft Word will write everything you say and then grammar and spell check it.
