Dear OneDrive users, We have been made aware of an issue concerning shared folders on OneDrive, where certain shared folders are displayed as .URL Internet shortcuts rather than actual folders within the "File Explorer".

I am using Microsoft Mail Merge to pull information from a database into documents. I want to use a Insert Word Field: Fill-in box to prompt the user to enter data. I want this to only ask once, as it shows is possible using both the Check box at startup and the \o command in the document. Neither is working in Office 365 on a Windows 11 box. Example: {FILLIN "Delinquent or Unruly?" \d Delinquent \o}{FILLIN "Video Conference?" \d This hearing will be held by Video Conference. \o}I tried to upload screenshots but it will not upload. I have tried multiple ways to get this to only ask once w

I have a personal Microsoft 365 Basic subscription, with an outlook.com e-mail address. On my PC, I was syncing my OneDrive work account files as well as my private OneDrive account files. Everything worked perfectly fine. I recently changed my password on my private subscription, made it more secure. Afterwards, the OneDrive private account on my PC forced me to log in again, which is of course completely normal. In the process, the system sends a code to my private outlook account, which I unfortunately never receive in that inbox (neither in Spam or any other mailbox I can think of). So I'm

Hello,A few years ago, y'all helped me create a button to start and stop a timer that would calculate the amount of time that has elapsed and would add it to the previously elapsed time (this allowed me to start and stop the timer without it restarting from 0 every time and keep a record of the accumulated "operating" time)I am back again because I have been trying to get this same function to work exactly as it did, but instead of a button calling the function, I wanted it to be based on a cell value. Just like when the button would trigger the start timer when it was clicked and said "operat

I am trying to display 0.00 or a variation to it In a documentI have tried a ton of different ways but when the field is empty it is not putting the 0.00 in. I am using formatting a code. Example:${IF MERGEFIELD {MERGEFIELD M_3096} <> "" "${MERGEFIELD M_3096}" "0" \# "#,##0.00" }When empty it should display $0.00 otherwise it should return the value in field 3096There is no value that field - it is emptyDisplays as $ if not value in the field is present. Example:$ {IF MERGEFIELD {MERGEFIELD M_CD1dotX9} = "" 0 {MERGEFIELD M_CD1dotX9} \# "#,##0.00"} - {IF MERGEFIELD

Hi, we've recently moved to Office 365 from Google Suites and I've hit an issue in Powerpoint.In Google Slides, you can format a GIF with any of the picture editing tools and it will display exactly as intended.In Powerpoint, if you apply any formatting to a gif in edit mode, it removes those edits in Present mode.The two examples here are a crop & a drop shadow.Edit Mode:Present mode:The crop has instead scaled the 16x9 gif so that its aspect ratio is now incorrect, and all image formatting has been removed.We constantly use GIFs in presentations to demonstrate video work, and this severe

When using the equation editor in Word for Mac, I was previously able to type shortcuts, like x^2, then press space and it would automatically format it properly, in this case as a power. Now, for some reason, it no longer does this. I also use to highlight certain things, like an x, then press the superscript button in the equation pane and it would format it as a power with base x and an empty exponent for me to type in. This also doesn't work any more. It is extremely time consuming having to select and nest everything from the equation menu. My version of Word did just update so I'm not su
