Re: A General Note about M365 and MS Office and its auto-update feature - Do not trust it to be timely in the way most others are . . .

Indeed, not for me either. This has been the case since approximately early September. They have modified the menus slightly, so now you need to press Alt plus F, navigate to More Options, expand that, then go to Account, and finally to Update. After that, the process remains unchanged. I have repaired Office to ensure everything is in order, and the process has indeed changed on my system. Microsoft? Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2412 Build 16.0.18324.20092) 64-bit.

I've tried this combo in word, and it doesn't work at all.

Thanks for that tip. I've never known how to update Office except via the Store.

As a general note when it comes to M365 or Office as a whole, do not rely on its auto-update feature to keep things 100% up to date in a timely manner.? It just doesn't.? When you're having issues with either of these it's worth trying a manual update (Alt + F, D, R, U).? I know that I just did a manual update less than a month ago, and triggering another now, it's found another set of updates.? M365/Office both have never been as "on top of things" with auto-update as most programs that have that feature are.

If that doesn't work to fix an issue, then try?

?

These are things that any screen reader user needs to know, and sometimes neither works if there is a bug in Office/M365 or the screen reader itself.? Also there are plenty of times where the screen reader is just ever so slightly behind schedule to match up functionality with a published change by Microsoft.? It's rare, but it happens, and those lags tend to get fixed pretty promptly if they effect commonly used features.

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
