I have MS Office desktop. If I download and use a subscription for MS 365 because a task requires it, will it take over my desktop version?

I have to use MS 365 with subscription for a task. Will it override my desktop version? Will I be able to get back to my desktop version after my task is complete and I delete MS 365?

WIll I need my original purchase key to get back to my desktop MS word/office?

Automatically signing into Microsoft account.

Hello,

I have multiple Microsoft accounts between personal and business. When I sign into a Microsoft desktop app (e.g., word), it will automatically log into the old business account. How can I make it no longer do that?

Pomoc oko Laptopa

Da li neko zna kako da resim problem? Naime, dok sam kucala seminarski rad u Wordu pojavljivalo mi se da ce da mi istekne licenca, kako nisam znala o cemu se radi isla sam samo na close. Sad nakon mesec dana nece da mi udje ni u Word, ni u Excel ni u Access, pise da mi treba neki product key. Ne znam sta je to ChatGpt kaze da sam to dobila uz laptop ili da kontaktiram tamo gde sam kupila laptop, ali ja sam ga dobila na poklon. Nece takodje da mi se aktivira ni preko fakultetskog naloga pise mi samo troubleshoot prilikom logovanja.
Znacio bi mi svaki vid pomoci, hvalaa svima unapred

How do I get a coloured background (shading) for text that extends the whole width of the document and moves with the/a paragraph? (is this possible)

So as in the photo, I want a background higlight for an important part of a document that extends all the way to the borders of the document.

What I'm currently using is a shape with opacity, however the obvious issue is, if I want to add more text inside the highlight or even rearrange any part of the document's text above this text, the text supposed to be highlighted moves up or down outside of the desired highlight box.

I tried using the paragraph shaders option, but the highlight only encapsulates the paragraph and not the entire horizontal area of the document (which looks much better).

Really appreciate any solutions or suggestions! thanks

Microsoft Office 365 Personal subscription vs Proton Unlimited annual subscription

As a regular user with fairly no need for anything ultra private to be worried about, would you go with a more matured and widely accepted Office 365 or go with a more private but less compatible Proton suite?

I know people talk about using Proton everywhere but let's be honest. Proton drive is hard to share files and email service also doesn't seem to be better. Many of my proton mails landed in the Spam folder of the receiver due to which they missed it completely.

I use 1Password extensively so Proton password manager is of no use for me. Neither is the VPN as I don't use it for anything meaningful.

Please give your honest opinion and don't just give the verdict 😅😅

Publisher Substitute for Bulletins and Newsletters

The death of MS Publisher is pushing me to my limit. I’ve tried Scribus and struggled. The Adobe InDesign doesn’t support our bulletins well. Neither does Canva’s Affinity. I’m starting to lose hope. Our newsletters are easy enough to recreate on these, but without bulletins being so text heavy and needing specific margins and indentations, I can’t find a substitute.

The ideal software would be Publisher-esque (gotta have a “workspace” spread,) one time purchase or open source, and have a ruler measurement for the textbook options especially.

Please help with copying equations from DeepSeek to Word.

After switching to another device, equations like the one in the picture no longer insert into Word with the correct formatting. Previously, I had Word from Microsoft 365, now it’s just Office 2016. Such formulas used to be easily inserted into a document via Ctrl+V as a Word math equation.

Please tell me what the problem is. In what format does DeepSeek write these formulas (LaTex/MathML/..?), can I configure this in the current Office 2016, or is the issue related to the browser, and are there any utilities to save the format?

I thought the issue was with Microsoft 365, because on the previous device everything worked without any extensions. It’s difficult for me to download Word from Microsoft 365, and the web version doesn’t work at all. Overall, I’m confused. Please suggest a solution.

Screenshot-proof PDF

Hi, I am a teacher in Iraq and I want to share an ebook with people. The problem is that I can’t use Amazon or other apps like that because I don’t have PayPal and it requires PayPal.
So I decided to use a telegram channel that can stop people from sharing or downloading files. But it’s useless since the user can open the pdf and take screenshots or record it. I need a platform or a tool that’ll help me secure my pdf so that no one can copy, screenshot, record, or download it.

Question about Office 2021 Home & Business support ending

Will Office 2021 Home & Business still work normally after Microsoft ends support in October 2026?

Specifically, will users still be able to open Office, create new documents, and edit existing files, or will the software stop working and become read-only?

I’m asking about the end of support/updates, not the expiration of the license itself.

Need Help With my New Laptop!! 🙏🏼🥲

I bought an MSI laptop online about 2 weeks ago. The product listing clearly says **MS Office Provided: Yes.**

but when I opened Word, it shows **Word (Unlicensed Product)” and “View Only (Unlicensed).**

Windows 11 itself is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account.

What should I do? Should I contact MSI, Microsoft, or seller about the included Office license???

pls help!! 🙏🏼

MS Office Updates

About a year ago, I would get monthly updates for my MS Office.

Then it moved to fortnightly.

Then weekly.

Now I am getting updates at least twice a week.

What is going on?
