How do I change the alert sounds in Outlook for Mac?
How do I change the alert sounds in Outlook for Mac? When I go to Preferences, then Notifications and Sounds, the dropdown menu for Sound Set says Default. There is no other choice of sound sets on that menu. When I click the arrow next to the individual events (New message, Message sent, Reminder, etc.) it plays a sound for each--apparently the only sound available. I've Googled up a few suggestions that didn't work: I went into System Preferences > Notifications and deleted Outlook from the list of applications, then restarted Outlook. No change in Outlook Preferences. I added some new sound files (various formats--.wav, .mp3, .m4a, .aiff) to user>Library>Sounds and restarted my Mac. I still don't have any new options in Outlook Preferences. I found instructions for creating a new sound set in an existing Outlook Sound Sets folder located in user>Library>Group Containers>UBF8T346G9.Office>Outlook>Outlook Sound Sets. I put the same new sounds there. I tried it with them loose in the Outlook Sound Sets folder, and also with them contained in a new folder titled "my new sound set." I quit and restarted Outlook. It didn't give me any new options in Outlook preferences. I have a current Office 365 subscription on a MacBook Pro. The Outlook version is 16.42. I'm running Mac OS 10.14 Mojave.
Convert PDF to Editable Word Document
I’m running macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and just upgraded to Office 2021 for Mac with a perpetual license (as opposed to Office 365). I want to open a PDF within Word (version 16.58, build 22021501) so that I can edit it. Yes, I already read this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/opening-pdfs-in-word-1d1d2acc-afa0-46ef-891d-b76bcd83d9c8 The first time I tried to open a PDF in Word, I was presented with this warning: The PDF is a tax return with sensitive information so I clicked “Don’t Allow.” Now every time I try to open a PDF with Word, I get this “Convert File” dialog, but PDF is NOT one of the listed formats: Here’s how opening a PDF is supposed to work on Word for Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/edit-a-pdf-b2d1d729-6b79-499a-bcdb-233379c2f63a How are PDFs supposed to convert to editable Word documents on a Mac? This post from 2015 indicates that the Mac version of Word (at that time) couldn’t open PDFs locally and had to be done from Word Online using an Office 365 subscription: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-do-i-open-convert-a-pdf-file-in-word-2016-for/83a1ad0e-1386-495e-8d0f-80a9e7884b1d Is this the real problem: Is Word for Mac 2021 unable to open PDFs locally? If Word for Mac can’t convert PDFs to an editable document locally, then how do I upload the PDF for conversion online? I’ve already authorized the “Connected Experience” in Word → Preferences → Privacy → Manage Connected Experiences https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/account-privacy-settings-3e7bc183-bf52-4fd0-8e6b-78978f7f121b#ID0EBBH=MacOS Do I also need to make a change via Terminal, as alluded to here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/mac-privacy-preferences Or is the problem that an Office 365 subscription is required for online conversion? Can’t perpetual licenses upload and convert PDFs to editable Word documents? Thank you for reading this long post.Announcement: Skype for Business on Mac is now Generally Available!

Office 2016 crashes on OSX 10.14.3
I've been using my MBP since 2016 with Office 2016. I've generally kept the system updated. It only has Adobe Creative Cloud (4-5 apps) and Office 2016. Latest update being version 16.16.7 However, it keeps crashing since yesterday and reinstalling will only allow it to run once or twice. Once I exit Outlook or Word, it will no longer start up and typically crashes with something similar to below - varies depending on the app of course: Error Signature: Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS ExceptionEnumString: 1 Exception Code: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0000000000000000) Anyone got any clue besides me uninstalling and reinstalling every day?Word for Mac File > Share > Send Document Doesn't Work
Microsoft Word for Mac Version 16.55 (21111400) Mac OS Monterrey 12.0.1 (21A559) When I pull down File > Share > Send Document, Word gives a "donk" (error) sound. Same thing for File > Share > Send PDF. When I do File > Share > Send HTML, the system opens Outlook and appears to prepare an email message to send the file. Any suggestions? By the way, Outlook is not my default email program. A different email program (Spark) is designated for my Mac, using the prescribed but odd way to do that: open the Mac Mail app, and pull down preferences (for Mail), and in the General tab specify the default email reader.
