Hello everyone, My father recently bought a new Android tablet specifically to use Microsoft Word for his work because he relies heavily on the Ruler feature. When I first installed Word, the Ruler was available and worked perfectly. However, after restarting the tablet, it disappeared. Since then, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times, tried different versions of Word, checked all the settings, and confirmed that we had an active Microsoft 365 subscription, but the Ruler is still missing. My father has also tried adjusting to different document layouts and workarounds, but unfortunately none of them are practical for his workflow. He simply cannot work efficiently without the Ruler feature. Has anyone experienced this issue? Is the Ruler still supported in Microsoft Word for Android, or has it been removed? If it's still available, is there any way to restore it or install a version that includes it? My father bought this tablet mainly for Microsoft Word, so this feature is essential for his work. Thank you for any help or clarification.23Views0likes1Comment[52 week high] formula not working
I have a spreadsheet where I track my portfolio data. I have attached a sample. It appears that the "[52 week high]" formula is not working properly. It shows up as the same price as the current "Price" for most securities. While this is in theory possible, the "Price" is below the "[Previous close]", so therefore it appears incorrect. Is this a known issue? How can it be resolved?3.6KViews0likes7CommentsWord Document Using Columns Not Modified, But Suddenly Displays Differently
I am using MS Word on my Windows 11 desktop. I have been using a Word document that I created a couple of years ago. The document uses Columns. The last time I modified it was a year ago. I tend to print it out every two days. Suddenly, the document displays differently and prints those differences. It now displays vertical lines below four of the five squares. I moved the document to my Windows 11 laptop. Same problem there. I sent the Word document to my son who opened it on his Mac computer. On his computer, it displays exactly as it should -- No erroneous vertical lines. Again, I have not modified the document. I thought maybe a Windows update may have caused the problem, but I don't see any Windows update in about one month. I am displaying two images below, a "before" and "after" image. The "before" (i.e., correct) image shows five squares and the alphabet displaying vertically. The "after" image shows vertical lines below the first four squares. Can anyone suggest a fix for this? Repeating myself again -- I have not modified this file in a year. Thank you. Len Jacobson First Image -- Correct display of the five squares and the alphabet displayed vertically Second Image -- Incorrect display. Vertical lines appearing below the first four squares.43Views0likes6CommentsUnderstanding Planner plan options
Hello! First time posting because I'm not an M365 admin at my company so apparently cannot contact Microsoft directly. We are a small company with about 25 employees and have started using Planner to capture actions from meetings. The biggest concern with this is how to recover task cards that are accidentally deleted. Looking at the Planner 3 plan, it looks like that covers task history. If we have the board owner on a Planner 3 plan, can regular users create, assign, add checklist items, and comment on task cards? Though if I'm understanding correctly, task history does not provide a recovery option if a task is accidentally deleted. It seems that we need a third party tool to be able to recover deleted tasks. Is that an accurate understanding, or does Microsoft have a native way to recover tasks? Thank you!26Views0likes2CommentsTimeline zoom
Hello, Is there a way to lower the zoom level in the Timeline view to less than 1 week? I have a couple projects with multiple dependent task per day but if I use the maximum zoom level in the Timeline view I don’t get a good overview of the different task in for example a 4 day period. I was expecting a Gantt chart like view, like what you have in Microsoft Project, in where you can zoom to a minute level granularity even.94Views0likes1CommentEquations not rendering in Word
Hi everyone, I have an Office 365 Subscription and so I use the online version of Word for my work, I've done so for a number of months. All of a sudden today all of my maths equations stopped rendering. Now all I see, if I try to use the equation editor, is a grey box that says [Equation]. This is true for new documents and also all of my old documents that included equations. I've tried logging in and out again and tried on Chorome and Safari. I lean on this function quite heavily for my work so any help would be appreciated.Solved40KViews1like18CommentsShared Calendars No Longer Visible
For years, I've shared Outlook calendars between my Outlook accounts and with my husband's, without any issues. However, since mid-June the shared calendars have disappeared for no apparent reason. The sharing permissions are still in place, but the calendars are no longer visible or available to add on Android, in the Outlook desktop app, or on Outlook on the web. I've spent hours Googling and tried all the usual troubleshooting steps, but nothing has worked! As a workaround, I now have to invite all @outlook.com accounts to calendar events just so everyone can see them and avoid double bookings. Has anyone come across this before and found a fix that isn't one of the standard "how-to" suggestions? Note: these are personal paid Microsoft accounts.54Views0likes2CommentsSend email merge from Shared Mailbox?
Hey everyone! We use email merge (Word & Outlook) all the time, and it's a huge timesaver. We recently went to use it from a SHARED mailbox and cannot for the life of use figure out how to do it. So far, I've tried: 1) Changing the shared mailbox to the "default" account (there doesn't seem to be a way to do it) 2) Setting up a new profile with JUST the shared mailbox (also doesn't seem to be a way to do it) Is there a way to send an email merge FROM a shared mailbox?40KViews1like6Comments
