Paragraphs and Page Breaks in Online Word keep breaking and displacing up or down after I save my do
This is probably a long shot, but I’ve been losing my mind trying to figure out how to fix this.
I have to use Online Word for several courses I’m taking, and whenever I’m writing a paper in it, I usually have no issues in it. However, when I come back to a previously saved document, I notice that most of my paragraphs have been displaced either up or down, or page breaks that I’ve put in have completely broken. This has actually caused me to lose points on a paper or two, and I had to explain to my instructor that this is a problem I’ve been having for awhile. I have no idea how to fix this, and I’m trying to provide my instructors with a flawless paper that doesn’t have any formatting issues. If anyone can help out, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

In Word for Mac, I don’t see a File tab to the left of the Home tab
I was looking for how to do something in Word and the Youtube videos describe selecting the File tab which their video shows to be left of the Home tab, but my Word has Home as the first tab with nothing to the left of it. I’ve installed the latest MS Word but still no File tab.
I’d love to learn how to retrieve it but also why did it ever disappear?
Thanks in advance.

Warning in Excel when trying to use dynamic array
Hi there, I did a search on this before posting, but no luck yet. Consequently, if this has already been answered, please point me there. With that said, I am a “seasoned” user of Excel (aka old), and I am used to the old school CSE array formula. So now I am supposed to use dynamic arrays. OK I like learning new things, so I gave it a spin. I got a message from Excel about spilling an array that read like a warning or otherwise suggesting I did a Bad Thing. Looking that up brought me here.
USE CASE (in case it matters)
What I wanted to do was use a SUMIFS function to sum over a date range that was in another sheet arranged vertically (in a table), but put the result in a grid (i.e., not a table) that had the dates horizontally. The objective is to subtotal the amount for each day over a list that had many entries for each date. So maybe it was the transposition that made Excel throw a warning, but using the CSE formula works fine.
—–/END USE CASE
I can easily resolve this using a Pivot Table, but that’s not my question. Really, I want to know why is MS complaining about doing something its own documentation has said is preferrable to the legacy method? I don’t know who prevails in this disagreement. Is the documentation or the Excel internal messaging dominant in this case? Either way it undermines the usefulness of these warnings and tips, which I am turning off because they are worse than useless.

Using the FILTER function to filter out data
I have a large spreadsheet with over 3000 entries and multiple columns of data. I need to efficiently edit out a specific packet of data that repeats in this case its the phrase “inactive” for one specific column. What formula can I use that will parse this column and remove all entries that have “inactive” in this column? Thank you, if this was not clear enough I can provide more information.

Dynamic Filtering Help
Hello-
I need help filtering the difference in settings based on the 9 column headers. I would like to filter differences in adjustments on current setup to adjustments on the next setup, example: I am currently set up for 12oz 4pk and will be switching to 12oz 6pk. Ideally I would see a much more condensed list of adjustments on 12oz 6pk because some of the settings do not change. Is this possible?

Will Microsoft’s Fundraising Template App Be Supported Long-Term?
Since Microsoft retired the Fundraising and Engagement app, they’ve introduced template apps for partners and customers to build solutions. Over the past year, we did lot of customizations on top of the original Fundraising and Engagement app, and we’re now considering moving these customizations and needed functionality to the ‘Fundraising’ template app. However, we’re concerned about long-term stability. Can Microsoft confirm if there’s any risk of these templates being retired or delisted? This would help us and others plan with greater confidence.

.NET Web API CancellationToken don’t work with Angular .unsuscribe()?
In Angular, I make API calls by subscribing to observables. When a user cancels a request, the application unsubscribes to the subscription which cancels the request (I can see this in the network tab of the Chrome browser). However, it does not trigger the endpoint and so the cancellation token param in our endpoint is of no use. Is there a way around this? I need the cancellation token to cancel all database request.

Seeking Insights on Security Considerations for Premium APK Files (Answer)
A User Put a Question and i try my best to answer his question as:
Understanding the Risks
Premium APK files, especially those distributed outside official app stores, are inherently more vulnerable to security threats. This heightened risk stems from various factors:
Lack of Verification: Unlike official app stores, third-party sources often lack rigorous security checks.Tampering: Malicious actors can modify APKs to introduce malware, steal sensitive data, or compromise user devices.Reverse Engineering: Attackers can disassemble APKs to understand their inner workings, potentially identifying vulnerabilities.
Key Security Considerations
Source Verification:
Trusted Sources: Download APKs only from reputable sources to minimize the risk of malicious modifications.Digital Signatures: Verify the digital signature of the APK to ensure its authenticity and integrity.
Malware Scanning:
Antivirus Software: Use robust antivirus software on your device to scan downloaded APKs for malware.Online Scanners: Utilize online malware scanning tools to analyze APKs before installation.
Permission Review:
Essential Permissions: Grant only the necessary permissions to the app to avoid unnecessary risks.Suspicious Permissions: Be cautious about apps requesting excessive or unusual permissions.
Secure Installation:
Official Channels: Whenever possible, install apps from official app stores to benefit from their security measures.Side loading Precautions: If side loading is necessary, exercise extreme caution and follow best practices.
Regular Updates:
Patching Vulnerabilities: Keep your device and apps updated with the latest security patches to address known vulnerabilities.
User Awareness:

App attach now integrates with partner solutions
For many IT admins, application delivery management is one of their most complex tasks. However, with the recent general availability of App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop, this process has become significantly easier. App attach simplifies application delivery administration by enabling dynamic application attachment from an application package to a user session in Azure Virtual Desktop. This solution has been gaining momentum, with numerous organizations embracing it to lower the burden on admins, while enabling granular, secured application assignment to employees.
As organizations continue their digital transformation, many admins find themselves managing on-premises applications for their existing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments even as they are moving their organizations to the cloud. As a result, admins must often use multiple tools for application delivery, creating a new layer of unwelcome complexity.
We are excited to announce that Liquidware, Numecent, and Omnissa are launch partners that have integrated their application delivery solutions with App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop. Integrating the solution with three of the top application delivery providers will offer substantial benefits to admins in organizations of all sizes. Additionally, the App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop API is publicly available, allowing providers to take advantage of this integration for enhanced application delivery.
The benefits of solution integration
Solution integration offers two significant benefits: simplified application delivery management and increased application mobility.
Simplified application delivery management
Admins can more easily run and deliver apps on Azure Virtual Desktop in the Microsoft Azure cloud thanks to a streamlined tracking and delivery system. This system offers a unified management console that provides a centralized point of control for all applications, simplifying the administrative workload. With this “single pane of glass” approach, administrators can efficiently track and manage apps from one place, no matter where those apps are deployed.
Increased application mobility
Migrating on-premises apps to Azure can be a daunting task. However, by leveraging the power of the integration of App attach in Azure Virtual Desktop with the app delivery solutions provided by leading partners, the process for admins to transfer their on-premises applications to Azure is streamlined. This helps address such common challenges as data transfer, synchronization, and maintaining security and compliance standards. The integration with Azure Virtual Desktop ensures that app delivery is consistent and efficient across all environments.
