Track 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.Share > Invite People
When the user is trying to share a Word (for Mac) Doc with internal users, the "Invite People" dialog is slow to load, if at all. https://youtu.be/t5GIQherPJY The experience is much more poor than on Windows. Is the Windows-type functionality coming to Mac? Is there a workaround in the meantime?
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?
Office 2021 for Mac hangs and asks for reactivation constantly
Just upgraded my Macbook running macOS Big Sur from Office 2010 to Office 2021. Purchased from Amazon. Installed ok, but hangs a lot and although I have activated it via Microsoft , it requests reactivation again and again every time I use one of the Apps. It is unusable at the moment. Very disappointed as it cost a lot of money. No access to any tech support at Microsoft as all appears to be online without any satisfactory solutions My old 2010 version worked perfectly , but was no longer supported. how ironic! Any advice appreciated.
Outlook on Mac not showing attachments in email.
Hi there, No tsure if anyone is in this community as everything seems very old. I've got a couple of customers using outlook on Macs to Google Workspace accounts. All has been working fine but lately certain accounts have started to show a paperclip for an attachment but when you open tthe emil the attachment isn't there. The mnail does have an attachemnt cause it can be seen in gmail. Removing the account from outlook and re-adding it has mixed results. Sometimes good for a few days and sometimes only a few hours. One user has the problem fixed for new mails but can't see attachments prior to the date we removed and re-added his account. Google support say they are aware of the issue and that it is on the outlook side. This seems correct because everything is fine in the browser. Looking for some informaiton. Thanks.,
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 .
