Handle common situations when using Office 365

Activating the application itself in the Office 365 desktop suite, an interface display error, an annoying spelling message, no zooming feature are common situations with Office 365 on the 'cloud'.

Office 365 on 'cloud' automatically activates the application on the desktop

By default, when a user clicks on the application name to create a file on the web browser, a new tab will open. However, if you've ever selected the Create in Word option, edit the new document by opening the Word application in the Office 365 suite installed on Windows. This option will be saved for later sessions. Therefore, if you want to create a new file on your web browser, right-click on the application name in the list, select 'Open Link in New Tab' .

Office 365 on 'cloud' has a display error

This error usually occurs because the user's browser does not install enough extension components to support the display of the main interface objects. Office 365 is used by Microsoft to make the most of the latest technologies, especially HTML5. Therefore, users should update to the latest version for the browser, fully install the new Flash Player plug-in and Silverlight.

Annoying spelling and grammatical error messages

Just like every version of Office on the desktop, Office 365 also features spelling and grammar checking, but is only effective in writing documents in English. If you want to get rid of these annoying bugs, on the Home tab, click on Spelling , 'Set Proofing Language' , select 'Don't check spelling' (with Office 365 on ' cloud' ); or go to File, Options, select the Proofing tab , remove all the check boxes under 'When correcting spelling and grammar in Word' (with Office 365 desktop version).

Cannot enlarge text to check

After editing, users can use the zoom feature to easily read and detect errors (if any), but Office 365 on ' cloud' has no more features. Therefore, if you want to enlarge the content to read and check again, users should take advantage of the browser itself. Normally, users just hold down the Ctrl key , and roll the middle mouse button. At that time, the entire website interface will be enlarged, from the content edited, to the menu bars and tools.

To solve this problem, users only need to download the error correction tool at this address . Then, activate and click Fix , agree with everything that the program requires to intervene. Completed, you can now install Office normally.
