Delete cropped areas of a picture
Now this is very useful indeed, both for saving space and ensuring security, privacy, decency, etc ..... is this facility new(ish)? I don't recall it in Office 2007, which I had previously .....
BTW - did you get your problem sorted out?

However, another discovery was that Office no longer contains Clip Art - not surprising, really, given that everyone has (fast) internet access to a world of art .....

For example, I use Outlook 2016 on several machines and have the ability to store the various Data folders, on OneDrive, as I log off one of the PCs which leads to the ability to go on another PC,or Tablet, or Phone, at any time day or night, which is already synced and has ready the new files from the central data file. If you see what I mean!
I only have two concerns (1) I don't like not knowing where my files are and so I am wary of the security (2) There is a very tight limit on the free data allowance.
A plus is the off site backup capability - but the low data allowance limits this..
I'm about to try to replicate the OneDrive process, in house, using the ability to hook a Hard drive up to my Netgear Router and get to it over the net.
We shall see.

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?
I use Google Drive for much the same purpose (15Gb free storage as opposed to 5GB on One Drive). If I save my files to the Google Drive folder on my PC they automatically gets synched to my online drive. My Outlook calendar is synched to my Gmail account with an Outlook add-on called Gsynch which in turn are automatically synched to my tablet and phone. Any alterations or additions to the calendar on any of the devices are immediately reflected on the other devices. Same with emails which use IMAP - all go to and from all devices automatically.Don't you just love technology?

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?
Apparently Google Drive is being shut down & removed.

Will have a look at what's replacing it!
What's the betting that the replacement will have a smaller allowance & higher cost?
