Question: Adding Undo and Redo Buttons to the Toolbar in Office 365 Apps
My Microsoft Office got updated today, I was taken to the Coming Soon section as soon as I opened it through a pop-up box and I updated to the new and refresh look of Office but what I found is the undo and button came to the ribbon. I could remove those buttons from ribbon but cannot figure out how to add them in the toolbar as depicted in the picture. Can anyone please help me?
Backup for OneNote App for Windows 10
We really need a backup feature in OneNote App for Windows 10, similar to the one found in OneNote for Office 2016, including number of backups to keep, where to keep them, and how frequently to check for changes. While all of our notebooks are in the Microsoft Cloud, if, for any reason, infrequently used pages, sections, section groups, or notebooks are accidentally deleted over time, and they are no longer in the recycle bin, there is no way to recover them. "Point-In-Time backups" that are periodically archived and never deleted by a user make it possible to recover such lost objects. Cloud storage of the notebooks don't make this possible. There is a limited capability to "Export a Notebook" from OneDrive Consumer hosted notebooks, but this isn't available to people who store their notebooks on SharePoint Online. Even if it became available, it is deficient in that users must manually start the export, one notebook at a time, whether or not notebooks have been changed. Backup function of OneNote 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007 all allowed specifying parameters as to how frequently backup would run, where backup files would be stored, and how many backups would be cycled in a rotation. In summary, please add a backup feature to OneNote App for Windows 10, similar to the one found in OneNote for Office 2016, including number of backups to keep, where to keep them, and how frequently to check for changes.Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps
Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps If you are using two-factor authentication in Office 365 (AKA multi-factor authentication) you MUST use an App Password instead of your Office 365 Login Password when creating your Exchange Active Sync account on an Android device. See the following link to learn how to create an App Password: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-app-password-for-Office-365-3e7c860f-bda4-4441-a618-b53953ee1183 If you don't use an App password during the setup, you will get the following message: Can't set up account. Authentication failed. As an aside, your domain\user entry should read: \yourusername@contoso.onmicrosoft.com or \yourusername@yourdomain.com Your server name should be: outlook.office365.comOutlook 2007 connectivity to Office 365 ending in Oct 2017
Hey all. I wanted to give you a heads up on an upcoming deprecation in Office 365. On Oct 31, 2017, RPC/HTTP will be deprecated in Exchange Online in favor of MAPI/HTTP, a modern protocol launched in May 2014. Outlook 2007 does not work with MAPI/HTTP. This means that in order to continue email connectivity, Outlook 2007 customers will need to update to a newer version of Outlook or use Outlook on the web. Additionally, Outlook 2010-2016 customers will need to ensure their version of Outlook for Windows is setup to support MAPI/HTTP. Minimum required versions are: Office 2016 plus PU.2015.12 Office 2013 SP1 plus PU.2015.12 Office 2010 SP2 plus PU.2015.12 These updates can be accessed via the KB article located here Additionally, customers may need to ensure their Outlook clients are not using a registry key to block MAPI/HTTP. Details about this registry key can be found in this KB article on our support site The links here should have all the answers you need, but let me know if you have any other questions.
Update: New upgrade readiness tools for Office 365 ProPlus
Update: The the Readiness Toolkit for Office add-ins and VBA is now available for download. Read more about it on our new post and download the toolkit and start using it today. We are excited to announce new tools to support the application compatibility readiness for Office 365 ProPlus. Over the next year, we will roll out tools to catalogue your organization’s add-ins, assess the status of VBA applications and deliver an improved support for 64-bit VBA. Customers tell us about the importance of application compatibility in their ProPlus upgrade plans and these tools make planning and execution easier. We are releasing them in limited preview now. Reach out to us at ReadyForOffice@microsoft.com to be part of the preview program. The new tools we are creating for application compatibility include: Updates to the Office Telemetry Dashboard New tools for add-in readiness reporting 64-bit common control support Office add-in reporting in Windows Upgrade Analytics In addition to supporting internal add-ins and VBA applications, we are adding more readiness information for Office add-ins from 3rd party ISVs. Later this year, we will publish a searchable list of ISVs who already support Office 365 ProPlus and we’ll start the validation of those popular 3rd party add-ins in the new Office builds, giving you the confidence that your solutions will continue to work with the latest versions of Office. Office Telemetry Dashboard The Office Telemetry Dashboard is an existing solution that helps you to gather inventory and usage information about add-ins used within your organization. We are now extending the Office Telemetry Dashboard to include readiness information. There are three key pieces of readiness information that this tool provides: ProPlus Ready 32 Bit. The add-in is widely adopted and used by enterprise customers in ProPlus and there are no known problems with the add-in ProPlus Ready 64 Bit. A 64-bit version of the add-in is available and widely adopted by enterprise customers in ProPlus and there are no known problems with the add-in ISV Support. The ISV has committed to support the add-in on ProPlus. This information helps you better plan an upgrade by knowing how many of the add-ins are expected to work seamlessly with ProPlus and how widely add-ins with potential issues are used within your organization and in which specific departments. Example of readiness reports include the following: Office 365 ProPlus readiness for add-ins Detailed view of Office 365 ProPlus readiness for add-ins VBA Macro Readiness For enterprises that rely on macro-enabled Office documents to perform business critical tasks, we are pleased to announce the new VBA Readiness Tool. This tool is designed to help your organization identify the most commonly used documents and determine if you are likely to encounter any compatibility issues. Compatibility issues are rare for most enterprises. The VBA Readiness Tool provides a report to quantify these issues for your enterprise. How it Works The VBA Readiness Tool works by scanning each PC to gather an inventory of the most recently used documents that contain VBA code. Documents that include VBA code, will be analyzed against a list of all known compatibility issues to determine if you are likely to encounter issues with the file after upgrading to ProPlus. The detailed report gives you all the information and confidence you need to plan your upgrade and to remedy any combability issues. 64-bit COM Controls Many Office users rely on the power of macros and forms to get tasks done. Some of these macros use Common Controls to create user interfaces or other such functions for users. Today, these Common Controls only work with the 32-bit version of Office. We're working to ensure a great experience on 64-bit Office and we will be releasing an update to our ProPlus client which brings 64-bit support to the Common Controls. The following nine controls will be included in the update: Once this update is rolled out later this year, taking advantage of 64-bit Common Controls will be seamless for users, with existing solutions continuing to work as they do today (though you may separately need to update your use of things like Declare statements, which you can read more about on MSDN). We are excited to bring 64-bit support to the Common Controls for Office ProPlus. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Office add-in report available in Windows Upgrade Analytics We announced the general availability of Upgrade Analytics in February 2017. Upgrade Analytics is a free tool helping organizations move to Windows 10. Learn more at http://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-readiness-get-started This tool also provides an inventory of Office add-in used within your organization. If your organization is planning a combined Windows 10 and Office ProPlus rollout, this tool is a one-stop shop to access both Windows application and Office add-in readiness. Pilot Program While all the tools listed in this blog are releasing later in 2017, we are accepting a limited number of enterprises into a pilot program. If you’d like to participate in this pilot program and are willing to share feedback with Microsoft, please let us know at ReadyForOffice@microsoft.com.Unable to "Open in Excel", "Open in Word", etc from SharePoint Online in Chrome
This works for some people, and worked for me in the past. But I am no longer able to: "Open in Word" "Open in PowerPoint" "Open in Excel" Using Office 365 Pro Plus, Deferred Channel, using Chrome 32 bit (up to date). If I open a file, it will open in Excel Online first, then I select "Edit in Excel", i'll get an application handler popup, but then nothing happens. This is the same result for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Skype for Business (joining meetings). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office 365 Pro Plus and Chrome several times now. Can anyone think of anything to resolve this, or has anyone run into this before. Its a bit perplexing.
What happens to OneNote when I leave my company? Can someone take ownership, so it's not deleted?
Hi, I currently have OneNote on my local drive and I have shared it with people within my team who can access and edit it. I will be leaving this company but I need my OneNote to still be accessible as it has all documentation in it. It also has to be editable my any future people using it. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this? If I move it to "Sites" for this company, would that work? Once I leave my personal drive will be deleted, but I am not truly familiar with this application so I don't know the best way to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Office 365 Pro Plus - Closes All Office apps when updates are deployed
We are currently testing Office 365 Pro Plus in hopes to replace the Office 2016 MSI install. We have Office 365 Pro Plus deployed as follows : <Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Current" Version="16.0.8625.2132" OfficeMgmtCOM="True"> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="en-us" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" /> </Product> </Add> <Display AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> <Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="0" /> <Property Name="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE" /> <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" /> <Property Name="ForceAppShutdown" Value="FALSE" /> </Configuration> We have updates being pushed through configuration manager. The updates get passed the machine and when they go to install the updates, it forces all office applications to close without any notification to the user. This is problematic esp since we are a SfB house. We have a SCCM DSE that i've ran this through and we've troubleshot this for a few days but we can't really find a way to either have the updates installed WITHOUT closing the apps or notify the user that the applications need to close in order to apply the update. Has anyone see this behavior before? Any suggestions to get the outcome that we desire?
