# Office365
# Download

# Excel
### Issues
#### Numbers are unwillingly converted to dates
- Excel is configured to recognize dates and change the formatting of a cell automatically, whenever it recognizes a date.
- Sometimes the recognition is faulty, which results in cells being formatted as dates, even though it is just a number.
- There are two approaches to fix the issue:
1. Format all the cells before inserting numbers (select either "standard" or "number"):

1. Change decimal & thousands separator (regional settings):
- Click File > Options
- On the Advanced tab, under Editing options, clear the "Use system separators" check box
- Type new separators in the "Decimal separator" and "Thousands separator boxes"

# OneDrive
- No good solution for UZH users.
- In general, there are different variants to access !OneDrive from Linux.
- Unfortunately: UZH policy blocks apps (used with UZH Microsoft account), which are not not privileged (security reasons) - the only allowed app is Microsoft !OneDrive App (only for Windows/Mac).
- It is possible to install a Web-App, which behaves a little bit like a lokal app, but the files are still remote.
### OneDrive WebApp
- Open [https://uzh-my.sharepoint.com/](https://uzh-my.sharepoint.com/) and log in - best in Chrome or Brave.
- Click on the install icon (upper right corner)
[](https://wiki.math.uzh.ch/public/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/onedrive-install.png)
- From now on, you can start !OneDrive via the Menu > Type: !Onedrive > click

- But this is only a webinterface, not local storage, see [drive.math.uzh.ch](https://wiki.math.uzh.ch/public/books/public-wiki/page/drivemathuzhch "drive.math.uzh.ch") for a file sharing solution including local storage.
# Outlook

##### Shared Accounts im Outlook Webinterface anzeigen

#### Outlook App (e.g. Citrix)
##### Shared Mailbox anzeigen
- Doku: [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-and-use-a-shared-mailbox-in-outlook-d94a8e9e-21f1-4240-808b-de9c9c088afd#picktab=classic\_outlook](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-and-use-a-shared-mailbox-in-outlook-d94a8e9e-21f1-4240-808b-de9c9c088afd#picktab=classic_outlook)
- Eigentlich sollten shared mailboxes direkt angezeigt werden.
- Ist das nicht / nur teilweise der Fall kann unter (Classic Outlook, Link s.o.) weitere Accounts hinzugefuegt werden.
##### New Mail: 'From' automatically selected by current selected mailbox
If there are multiple email adresses configured and a new email is created: it would be nice if 'from' points automatically to the last selected email account.
According to Microsoft, this is not supported by Outlook ([Link](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-the-account-used-to-send-email-messages-2bdd8d4f-e30f-4ec8-88a0-406ce7b23cc5)).
##### Why is the 'From' button missing?

## Hints
### Outlook for Mac: Realname
- Beim anlegen des IMAP Kontos: bei der Anmeldung „Synchronisation mit Microsoft Konto“ ausschalten. Danach kann beim Konto der Realname geändert werden.
### 'Reply All' should not include myself
- Currently we don't know if this is an option.
