Notifications • • • • 1) Is there a way to make the Office Notifications Window automatically expand to show all the current items? For the longest time it only showed one, then I noticed it would auto-size to show all. Free chinese font for mac. What upgrade for mac will be available on september 24, 2018. Now it's back to making me scroll or resize the window if I have more than a couple of items. I can't figure out what changed and how to set this.
This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Feb 18, 2018 - Is it just me or are those daily upgrade notifications for upgrading to macOS High Sierra annoying the bleep out of you? Every time I turn on my.
The reason it no longer auto expands is because you resized it. Office Notifications is smart and remembers if you've manually resized it. If you have, it says 'Oh, I'd better not resize myself.'
The solution is to click on the maximize button and let it resize itself. 2) Is there any way to get alerts (e.g., upcoming appointments) in the Finder or other apps when Entourage is NOT running? Entourage X and 2004: The (look in System Preferences: Login) takes care of this.
If you launch Office Notifications (located in Microsoft Office X or 2004/Office) and choose the Turn Off Notifications option, that will prevent it from appearing in Login items pref and you will not get the notifications. Entourage 2001: Entourage must be open for notifications to work but, if you download Microsoft's QuickView, it is. It allows the user to receive calendar notifications without an Office app running.
More info is available: 3) Is it necessary to turn off Office Notifications before running a Retrospect backup? As a general rule you should shut down all programs (including Office Notifications) before any backups. However, users have reported that as long as the database is not being used during backup there is no problem.
4) Notifications crashed when Dock is turned off. If you have turned off your Dock, Notifications will crash. Put the dock back so that it starts at login.
Posted: Today at 1:00 PM by tnielsen Thanks How are you guys disabling this for new computers that have never had office on them? The plist isn't there so it won't write. Since the apps are sandbox, the plist never shows up. I'm thinking I'm missing something.
Whether or not the plist is present doesn't prevent the defaults write command from taking place. For the main commands to nix the splash screen, this is set once on a machine-level before the applications are launched and is immediate. The autoupdate disable has to be done in the user, but could be written into the User Template folder to take effect for each user when they first login. Existing users would need the command run for each account. I found today as of the 9.93 release (maybe before?) that there is a new built-in Managed Preferences template already for 'Microsoft Office Auto Update' which has the WhenToCheck and HowToCheck options pre-built, and supports custom settings (i.e. ChannelName = 'External').
I'm testing a profile now to push some of our advanced users to use the InsiderFast channel with daily checks, and another for 'normal' users (without Admin rights, ideally) to Manual check, External ChannelName, and DisableInsiderCheckbox. Did you find anything else out about this?
I had setup some options for the autoupdate2 using Managed Preferences, but also discovered after the fact that they appear to be deprecated now. Trying to find all of the available options for MAU, as I DO want to enable AutoUpdate (as of MAU 3.6 I think, the process runs as System and doesn't prompt users for Admin credentials to install the updates). Also combing the MacAdmins Slack channel looking for more info; seems that MAU 3.8 is now out and supports automatic download of the updates!
