PPT Presenter View preview slide not keeping up
Hi all, I'm trying to use Powerpoint to project supertitles (captions) live for an opera on a Macbook. Been a while since I've used the software and the current version of presenter mode is giving us some issues. We've got the current slide in the top left, the next slide in the top right and that's all great. Then we have the preview of the current slide at the bottom and every time we go to the next slide it's doing this sliding motion to the next slide even thought the slide show itself has no transitions. The slides at the top work the same as the slide show so we can work with it but it's a kind of really distracting having the slides at the bottom get way behind and glitch out because we're flying through some of these slides. Does anyone know a way to hide the bottom preview or disable the timing on it so it just snaps to the next slide like the actual slide show does? All timings of everything are disabled and set to manual or zero. I just can't find any option regarding that section of the Presenter View. TIA.

Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders! This is Priya Ganta from the Outlook for Mac team. If, like me, you have multiple email accounts configured within Outlook or have long shied away from adding your personal accounts to your work Outlook, I have some great news for you! I am excited to announce a new feature now available for Outlook Mac that lets you create a distraction-free experience across multiple accounts. Profiles in Outlook for Mac In Outlook Mac, you can now create profiles – for example, one for your work account, and another for your personal account. You can then select your work profile and Outlook will not bother you with any notifications from your personal email accounts. Similarly, if you select your personal profile at home, Outlook will not bother you with work-related emails. With one click or by pressing the Control+Tab keys, you can switch between Outlook profiles in seconds. You can even automate switching with Siri automation. Switching to my personal profile every weekday evening after 6pm and then switching back to my work profile at 8am is just one example. Until now, you couldn’t mute notifications by account, or show only certain accounts when in a focus mode. Using profiles, you can now: Theme your work profile to be a different color than your personal profile. Switch between various Outlook to help with work-life balance. For example, you can switch to your personal profile, every weekday after 6pm and switch back to work at 8am, the next day. Set up as many profiles as you need to best manage your time and your inbox. Define different Outlook window appearance for different profiles. Tie your email accounts within Outlook for Mac to Apple’s Focus Filters. The possibilities are endless! Head over to the blog post to learn more and see other updates coming out soon!

DataSource Error Access To The Path is Denied / PowerQuery Mac
I am trying to read a datasource (CSV) into Power Query. I keep getting DataSource error saying that it cannot read the file. This happens whether I try using "Get Data" or just editing an existing query so that it points to a different source. An exception occurred: [DataSource.Error] Access to the path '/my/path/to/the/file.csv' is denied. (Session ID: 6cc4c6b5-96d6-4d58-b68a-f20fcab1aa8f) Sometimes, If I make a copy of the file, then I can import that copy. But if I change the name back to what I want it to be named, then it can't connect. It's the same file, just with a different name. Sometimes when I go to Get Data, all the potential choices (ie.. all the CSV files) are grayed out. But if I rename one of the files then that one will (sometimes) not be greyed out and I can select it. But if I change it back to the name I want, then it grays out again. Very frustrating as a simple duplication task (ie. duplicating a query and then adding a different source) has become very hard indeed. Any ideas why this might be happening?Python and last dynamic array functions on Mac
Hi Everyone, I own a Microsoft 365 account both on Windows and on Mac. I'm registered for the Insider Program and I can use Python in Excel and GROUPBY and PIVOTBY functions on Windows but not on Mac. Someone knows why please? Thank you for responding. Take care and have a nice day. Aurelien
Power Query source access denied for colleagues within same SharePoint group
I'm having a lot of success with Power Query in Excel on Mac, which I'm super happy about, but it's massively glitchy when colleagues open my files. My colleagues are all in the same SharePoint company as me, they have the same access to the relevant files and folders, yet when they open my files they always get some kind of "file access denied" message which prevents any PQ refresh actions working. If I open up the PQ editor to check the problem, what's happening is the source file has re-named itself from the generic file path that I set up, to a C/Users/ path that's specific to me. Hence I assume isn't recognised by the other user's machine. For example (simplified): What I set up as source file: Sharepoint/Company/Statistics/2023sales.xlsx What the file path becomes when a colleague opens the file: C/Users/AnnaJP/blah...blah.../Company/Statistics/2023sales.xlsx I have tried manually renaming the file on a colleague's machine while they've got it open but each time it is opened by someone else it becomes the wrong file path again and the issue persists. It also happens even when the source table is in the SAME file that contains the query and the output. This it basically makes all my PQ-cleaned source data only update-able and refresh-able by me. Yet I am sure that with a couple of simple instructions my colleagues could easily add new data to the source and then refresh it themselves... but they can't - "access denied"! Any ideas what might help?
