How to get sharepoint properties panel enabled by default from Sharepoint Online
Previously with Sharepoint on prem and older Office version using the Document Information Panel (DIP) you could enable in SharePoint to always open/display the DIP when opening documents from a library. Now with the move to the SharePoint Properties Panel and using SharePoint Online I cannot find a way to have this enabled by default when opening documents. As Metadata is critical to using SharePoint as any form of a document management system this needs to be enabled. Is there some registry key or something from client side? Or some option in the maze of settings on the SharePoint Online side the equivalent of the DIP enabled one? This is what I mean by SharePoint Properties Panel:
Word - Same Line Page Breaks Visibly Change Formatting
Within the last week or so, Word suddenly has started changing the formatting of visible text when a page break is used on the same line. How can this be corrected? (To be clear, yes, a page break could moved to the next line or deleted if there is not room for the extra line, but this impacts dozens of templates I have been using for years and I just want to set the formatting back to how it has worked in the past, where a page break inserted at the end of a line with centered text did not change the formatting of the visible text in said line.) Example 1 below is how it always used to appear whether the page break was on the same line as the centered title text or not. Example 2 below is how it looks now when the page break is on the same line.How to stop MS Word from saving doc and pdf files to the cloud
I'm on Windows 10 and Office 365. When I hit F12 on an MS Word file and save it as a .docx file or a .pdf file in a OneDrive folder: (1) the file does not immediately appear in the folder. (2) when it does appear, after more than 5 minutes later, it's on the cloud and it has be downloaded. (3) saving has become a lot slower. I'm not sure when I first noticed this but it has been a while. I've gone to File > Options > Save > Unchecked "Show additional places for saving, even if sign-in may be required". How do I prevent that? It slows everything down.
Excel link does not work in a word document saved at onedrive
Hello, I have a word document with some links to excel workbooks. The update process between excel and word was working properly until I started do save these files in One-Drive. I've checked the excel links in the word document and they appear ok. But when I try do update (forced, because the automatic process does not work) I receive a message of server authorization problem. Could someone help me with what to do?Session Expired - Please refresh error message
Another user and I are working on the same word document online. When he works in a table entering data, we both receive the "Sorry your session expired. Please refresh the page to continue". This only happens when he is entering data in the table. He can copy and paste tables in the document and he can enter text in other places without issue. It is only when working inside the table. I receive the same error when he does even if I'm not doing anything in the document. I could just be watching what he is typing and I get the error. Any suggestions?
How to separate non-indented number points from indented number points?
I'll explain. I have a document that's about fifty pages in length, with about 500 numbered points in total. The list randomly is dispersed going down, with some numbered points having no indentation while some have it (text down and to the right, down to the right and so on). It looks like this: Example 1 (Actual Layout): This Is An Example How The Document Is Listed Trying to sift through it all and sort the list manually is proving to be too time consuming. Trying to sort the lists alphabetically left all the indented text out of order with no way to figure out what numbered point it belonged to what. It looked something like this: Example 2 (Alphabetized Layout): An Document Example How Is Is Listed Of The This Is there any way to have it so word can separate Example 1's points, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and points 2 and 3 away from each other, creating two separate lists with all the indented numbered points all corresponding to the correct main indented point? Like this: Example Three (Desired Layout): This Is The Document Is Listed Is An Example How Thanks. Sorry for the length.Table of contents different colors for headings number
Hi, I am using Office 365 on a WIN 11 computer. I received a project where the number of heading 2 had a different color than the rest of the headings. The document was translated into another language. The agency asked me to review the translated file and update the TOC. All was fine until I updated the TOC and I noticed that all numbers before each heading were black. I started checking the styles set in the source file for any possible mismatch with the translated file. They were identical. Still, when I was updating the translated file those numbers were still black. Therefore, I updated the TOC of the source document and it resulted in the numbers being black as in the translated file. Bottom line, I manually changed the colors of numbers for TOC02. I found it very frustrating. What was I doing wrong? What had I missed? I have been working for years with MS Word. I had never been asked to make numbers in TOC different from one level to another. Is it possible? Thank you, Sebastian
Word hiding comments on text with tracked changes
This is an extremely frustrating bug that I've been experiencing for maybe six months or more in Microsoft 365. If I add a comment to text that I've changed via track changes (e.g. I've bolded it), the comment will be irretrievably hidden, though the commented-on text will still he highlighted, suggesting there is a comment there; it just can't be seen. This doesn't happen with all changes, though font changes seem to be the biggest culprit. It's annoying when I forget it's there, take a couple minutes writing a comment explaining changes for a client, only to see it disappear and not be able to even retrieve the text I wrote. I hope there's a fix coming for this soon?
