Getting off-topic, here, but I've never felt the lure of the 365 subscription. Maybe it's just because I'm an old fart, but I dislike the idea of using software that they can change when THEY want to. MS Office is the one app I shell out real money for whenever I buy a new PC; the rest of the time I'm happy using shareware, open software and the like. But I want the software in my own hot little hands, not theirs.
For the same reason I'd still be using POP3 instead of IMAP, if I could. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* The harder I practice, the luckier I get. -Gary Player */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Steve Thompson Sent: Monday, January 22, 2024 08:55 Along those lines, if you get an office 365 subscription, bundled into this is one-drive. So unless you specifically save documents to a file server or on/in your computer (you do not use a one-drive path) you are using M/$ cloud. And what I have found is, if you turn off one-drive, Word, XL, and others have problems with saving, restoring data. But not if you have them using a file server. ?!? And this means as soon as you create a new spreadsheet/document/powerpoint/etc. you have to do a "save as" to the file server. Now, enterprise users of windows & Office, whole nuther thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
