DittoIf all else fails, you could dump MS Office and change to LibreOffice.
I've been using LibreOffice on OS-X, Windows and Linux for several years and it just works. Even better: I haven't yet found a MS Office file that LibreOffice won't open.
The price is right too!

Mac verifying MS programs
Each time I open MS Word Outlook or Excel or PowerPoint my Mac which is currently running Catalina operating system wants to verify the Microsoft program. It runs through the verification processanswers.microsoft.com
I think it's probably something to do with Current office apps pretty much patching themselves every time they run... I know we run 365 for work on WIN10 and pretty much every day get a message that we need to close and re-open office apps to install some patch or other, wouldn't think that mac versions would be much different.
Indeed. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, which has effectively taken over the code base after the original project died.I use Open Office, but the principle's the same.
Yep, no more verifying after a reboot.Thanks, have updated the security settings, will reboot later and see if it solves the problem.
Can I ask a quick question to the LibreOffice users here - what do you use as an email client?
I'm looking for something to replace Outlook before I make the change to LO.

I never thought I'd be writing this but... properly set up by the hardware vendor, Windows 10 is rather good.Remember Windows are for houses, Apple for eating, Linux for computers.
Hmm, I haven't looked at Outlook on the web for a long time - I was less than impressed then so it will need to have improved to persuade me to go that way.Who is your email provider? I haven't used anything other than webmail on a PC for a long time. Even at work, where I could use Outlook desktop, I just use Outlook Web.
