Issue with viewing mode for E5 licensed users
I'm a sysadmin for a Health care provider in Sweden and we have an issue with users with an E5 license loading into Office apps in view-mode. As far as I know we are a coupe of organisations providing health care that have this same issue. Background: We have a mix of F3 and E5 licenses and sometimes the F3 licensed users need to view documents that contains info that isn't allowed to be saved in the cloud. To minimize the popups that show up when a user starts word unlicensed we have a GPO (viewer mode) that says that it should open i view-mode. Per my understanding this GPO is device based and not user based. However, this also affects the users of E5 license who regularly change workstations, easily 5-10 devices in a day. Since they should be able to view and edit documents in office apps it causes frustration and confusion when they load into view-mode and have to log out and then in again (or update license) and restart the program. Our computers devices are Microsoft Entra hybrid joined and shared computer licensing is enabled. Are there any solutions or viable workarounds for this issue? It's not complicated for users to handle but frustrating and causes a lot of tickets to the support team. Unsure if I'll be able to participate due to the time zone difference but will appreciate any and all help. /Per EkholmNot so Dark theme
Is there something that can be edited or is an option coming to enable a more contrasting but less harsh theme to MS365 apps and Windows? As I’ve got older I need to turn down brightness because the extremes in the current themes, White, Black, Dark Grey, are too harsh, but that doesn’t quite achieve what I need. A light grey, giving better contrast than white for those that need it but not so harsh and depressing as the dark versions, would be ideal. We’re lacking options at the light end of the spectrum
Really strange "graphics" issue in PowerPoint
I have a single, brand new, Lenovo t14s with AMD CPU, where the user is experiencing strange graphics behaviour in PowerPoint. Randomly elements (icons, text boxes, images etc.) on the slide becomes invisible / hidden, like a big white box. You cant select anything in the box or move the elements. When the user goes one slide forward and then returns, the sections / elements are visible again. I have tried to update the AMD graphics drivers to the newest. Disabled hardware graphics acceleration in settings. Made a quick repair of Office. Made a web repair of Office (states it should resolve all errors) We are running O365 Business Premium and using the Enterprise monthly release channel. The computer is 3 weeks old, we have other af the same model, but haven't heard from any other user about issues like this. Have any of you seen an issue like this and know of a fix? - I can't seem to find anything on google. I have attached a screenshot of the issue, where there should have been a lot of content on the slide, but instead is a big white box.
PowerPoint on M1 Mac does not work properly
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I have been using an M1 MacBook for several months now. Unfortunately, I am still experiencing significant issues with PowerPoint. Some functions do not work. Among them are objects arrangement, object alignment, and object grouping as well as making text bold, in italics, or aligned. I have been using Teams or the browser version to make those edits, but I am sick of it. Today, I reinstalled the app but the bugs remain. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you very much! Cheers, Christian
Kleine Symbole in benutzerdefiniertem Menüband (Powerpoint)
Hallo zusammen, im PPT-Menüband (Ribbon) habe ich mir (neben Start, Einfügen, etc.) ein eigenes Tab angelegt. in das Tab habe ich mir die Funktionen hineingelegt, die ich am meisten benutze. Leider sind das für die Darstellung auf meinem Bildschirm zu viele. Grund dafür ist u.a.., dass jedes Icon in voller Größe dargestellt wird (mir würde die reduzierte Größe reichen). --> Was ich mit voller und reduzierter Größe meine habe ich im Anhang beigefügt. Jedes Tab in den Office Menübändern ist außerdem in Gruppen unterteilt, in denen thematisch zusammengehörige Funktionen geclustert werden. Was ich jetzt schon herausgefunden haben ist, dass wenn ich genau 6 Funktionen in einer Gruppe zusammenfasse, die letzten 3 in reduzierter Größe dargestellt werden. Es sind aber immer die letzten 3 und es funktioniert auch nur bei genau 6 Funktionen in einer Gruppe. 1. Ich würde gerne selbst entscheiden (am besten unabhängig von Gruppierungen und Gruppengrößen) welche Funktionen in welcher Größe dargestellt werden. 2. Im allerbesten Fall würde ich sogar gerne Gruppen in Gruppen darstellen, wie auf dem zweiten beigefügten Screenshot. Wenn ich eine Lösung für 1 fände, wäre mir aber schon einmal erheblich geholfen. Falls dazu jemand Erfahrungen oder gar eine Lösung hat, wäre ich sehr dankbar. Viele Grüße David
Font in word don't change between regular and bold. PowerPoint do.
Hi, I have install a font from the font book on my mac. The font have both regular, bold, italian and bold+italian. I can see and chose the font in my office programmes, so no problems here. When testing the font in PowerPoint I can see a clear different between bold and regular text. However, when testing it in word regular text and bold text is shown as the same. Any suggestion on how I may fix it? Best regard Steffen System information: Mac book pro, MacOS 10.15.1 Microsoft 365, Word v. 16.31
No "Sites" listed in Open section of the Document Gallery
Hi All, At my company, we're seeing an issue where we don't see the Sites listed in the Open dialog section of the Document Gallery as shown in the "https://support.office.com/en-us/article/what-s-new-in-office-365-95c8d81d-08ba-42c1-914f-bca4603e1426?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#Platform=Mac" list for January 2018: We're running Office 2016 apps v. 16.10, and are connected to Office 365 Online. However, if I connect to my company's Office 365 account from my personal computer (using the same version of desktop apps), it shows the Sites. This inconsistent behavior is making it a bit difficult for us to train teams on how easy it is to get to their Group documents from within the desktop apps. Has anyone else seen this issue?
