My company moved from an earlier version of Microsoft Office to Office 365.
Office 365 is very pretty, and has some great online collaboration capabilities...but it's a buggy mess.
Spreadsheets that ran fine in the earlier version of office will now just "do stuff" (with the hourglass spinning) for up to 1 minute...and this isn't even something complicated...like typing a value in a cell.
Oh - and let's not even get started on how with Office 365 the DEFAULT is to open multiple spreadsheets in the same instance of Excel...so, when 1 spreadsheet decides to just "do stuff" or eventually Excel crashes, all of the spreadsheets get taken out...I hoped you saved them!
Of course, you can get around this by:
- Right clicking on the Excel icon in the task bar
- Hold the ALT key while left clicking on the Excel icon on the popup menu
- Clicking on "Yes" on the next popup windo
Of course, I had to scour the internet to figure this out...and there is not an option to force Excel to open in a new instance.
Microsoft quality control has taken a major nose dive in the past few years...
