One time purchase 2022 Office Home Edition failed to activate
I bought a 2022 Office Home Edition on a one time basis in 2022 and installed on my Mac which has worked well over the year. Then, suddenly on 13 July this year, its Excel disallowed me to save and edit, saying I need to subscribe Office 365, etc in order to activate. I don't know what is going on. Can this be fixed?One time purchase 2022 Office Home Edition failed to activate

Issue: numbered labels appear over the Excel ribbon when pressing Option
Description When I press the Option (⌥) key in Excel for Mac, numbered/lettered labels appear overlaid on every tab and button of the ribbon. The pattern is: Over the ribbon tabs (Home, Insert, Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, View): numbers 1 through 9. Over the Quick Access Toolbar icons: a descending then ascending sequence: 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D. The labels disappear instantly when I press Esc. This does not happen in any other application (tested in TextEdit and Finder by pressing Option: nothing appears). Version information Excel version: 16.77.1 (Build 23091703) When checking for updates from Excel (Help > Check for Updates), I get the message: "This product is no longer supported. Support for this product has ended, and in-product help is no longer available or maintained." Troubleshooting steps already taken (no success) I have methodically ruled out the following causes: System Accessibility (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility): only Google Drive is listed, and it's toggled off. Input Monitoring: no items listed. Screen & System Audio Recording: no items listed. Switch Control: disabled. Excel KeyTips (Excel > Preferences > Accessibility): this section does not exist in my version of Excel — only the "Accessibility Checker" appears, with no KeyTips option or "Activation keystroke" setting. Excel Add-ins (Tools > Excel Add-ins): only "Analysis ToolPak" and "Solver Add-In" appear, both unchecked/inactive. Third-party automation apps (Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool, Alfred, Raycast, Hammerspoon, Kutools, etc.): none installed on the Mac. Background processes (Activity Monitor): no suspicious process is running at the time the issue occurs, aside from normal system/Office processes. Office's internal preference files via Terminal (defaults read com.microsoft.Excel, com.microsoft.shared, com.microsoft.office): no key related to "KeyTips", "AccessKey", "Alt", "Option", or "Hint" was found. Question for support Is this a known behavior in older/unsupported builds of Excel for Mac (build 23091703)? Is there any way to disable this feature — whether through a hidden preference, a corrupted configuration file — or would a full reinstall of Excel be the only solution? Thank you in advance for your help.Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else?
Excel Find / Command-F crashing on Mac Tahoe (Office 2019 / Excel 16.78) – anyone else? Mac mini + Tahoe 26.5. Excel 16.78 (Office Home & Student 2019). Problem started after recent Tahoe update. Classic Find is behaving badly and often crashes Excel. Workflow: click/select a column Edit → Find → Find… or Command-F search for text or email fragments (ex: "kristin" or part of an email) Excel may crash or Find becomes unusable Things already tried: full Excel reinstall blank workbook test new macOS test user Office container reset / plist tests preference resets same Tahoe version confirmed Upper-right Microsoft Search appears, but that is not equivalent to classic worksheet Find for email-column workflow. Question: Is this a known Tahoe / Excel 16.78 Find bug or Search-routing issue? Has anyone fixed this or seen it resolved with a newer Excel build or update?
Excel image not showing up on Windows users
I use Excel on Mac, and I've prepared a quotation list with all of the product images inserted into cells. When I send the Excel document to another Mac user, they are able to see the images. However, when I send it to a Microsoft user, they don't see any images in the document. I've attempted to upload it to Google Drive, but I encountered the error message below: Does anyone know a solution to this?
