  2. Hey y'all. What's up?

    I’m trying to install Microsoft Word on Windows but running into issues. Downloaded Microsoft 365 from the official site, opened the EXE, and it keeps saying “could not install.” Anyone run into this before or know a fix?

    Also open to alternatives for writing that sync well between phone and computer if Word keeps acting up.

  3. Tipp: Laufzeitfehler 53 beim Start von Excel und Word beheben

    Bei Verwendung von Excel oder Word kann es dazu kommen, dass beim Öffnen von Dateien merkwürdige Fehlermeldungen erscheinen. Das sind die Hintergründe.

  4. One of the truly funny moments in my tech writing: I forget what the project was, but during final edits of an actually not very large manual, Microsoft Word bleated this nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_ at me.

    This translates to "The document is too large to save. Delete some of the text before saving."

  5. 🚀 Breaking news: #SSH doesn't have a #Host header! 📰 Hold the phone, people! Turns out, when connecting to your VMs, you might actually need to use an IP address. Who knew?! 🤯 Let's all hope Microsoft Word catches up with this cutting-edge tech innovation soon! 🙄

  6. I need #MicrosoftWord in #Linux. Why? Because, for instance, I need to edit shared documents online with other colleagues. #Office online is not an alternative for me: I tried it, but it's too limited, compared to the standalone app. So, why not to exploit #WayDroid for desktop? I tried it, but, correctly, #Microsoft intune configuration blocks it from running... how to solve it? Is there an #opensource alternative of #Word working even for online shared documents?

  7. This week's Featured Links post links to articles about how Putin outsmarted the oil sanctions, how Charlie Angus is still haunted by the Edmund Fitzgerald sinking, how the Florentine diamond resurfaced after 100 years in hiding, and more.

  8. Just talked with #DisabilityServices at Colorado Christian University. They’re encouraging me to use #MicrosoftWord instead of #LaTeX for schoolwork, since Word has built-in dictation that could help when my #RheumatoidArthritis flares up and typing gets hard.

    To other #Blind folks: how do you remember all of Word’s keyboard shortcuts? I swear I spend more time navigating the ribbon than actually writing. I stick with LaTeX because I can remember commands better than shortcuts.

    They said Word’s dictation is accessible, so I’m giving it a shot. But I’m also wondering: what reference managers do you use? I’ve been using #Zotero since it works with #VSCode and LaTeX, but I don’t know how well it integrates with Word — and definitely not with #PowerPoint. My school has me doing a lot of #APA-style presentations lately.

    Would love tips from anyone juggling accessibility, citations, and academic workflows.

  9. When I was working at the Toronto Stock Exchange I had to create some large documents with content that was being shared with another writer. I did not trust Word's Master Document feature so came up with my own solution. It took a bit more effort than using Master Documents but was stable. I've published my guide to working with multi-file Word documents on my blog in the hope that it may help others.

  10. It seems that Microsoft is forcing Copilot onto users of Microsoft Word. If you subscribe to the paid version of Copilot, you'll start seeing it pop up in Word, whether you want it or not.

  11. I had a recipe that I wanted to share with the family, but the original was a scanned PDF of a rather smudgy page that I didn't want to share. I was able to convert it text and edit it in Word, then save it as a much cleaner and smaller PDF.

    Details are too long to post here so I put them on my blog.

    You could probably do this directly in Acrobat Pro or other tools but these are what I had on hand.
