    Well, go and fuck yourself. And to his mate who thought this must be default and non-changeable via an option, you can go to. I know, it is not the first time I rant about this, but oh God does this cost me time.

      Can you not OpenOffice or something? I want to cackle like a madman watching the pendulum swing back towards "uhhh, this stuff sucks and native apps will always be better".

        I am very open to alternatives, but in this very case it is at my workplace AND I reckon I enjoy the MSOffice suite. Sharepoint is a big POS however.

          Their thinking seems to be led by 'be better than Google at the online office suite'. Just look at the current 'New Outlook', it is an online interface in a native app X| . I guess they think that is where the majority will end up, online, with less and less users of the native apps :^) BTW, if you can't open an office doc in the native app from within SharePoint then I think that that's an admin setting, not an MS imposed limitation. From the ellipsis (...) menu, the Open item should give you three options, Open in browser, Open in app, Open in immersive reader.

            Well ... even Windows Media Player can edit a document, why not a browser? :-) [Typing a document in Windows Media Player - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnsyBXFpNlM) [^]

              Oh MY YES!!! On a Mac it is hideous and flips to that abomination after every software update too.

              I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                I have a marketing company and I don't even understand what Microsoft is hoping to achieve (in the long term) with these changes. It's very ham-fisted.

                    MS Office files specifically, or the entire idea of office suites running in a browser? Personally, you couldn't pay me to use a Chromebook.

                      Maybe they've applied the fail fast, break things and learn/adapt approach to all aspects of their business. Except they're struggling with the learning part, it's tough to clean 40 years of lint from your lugholes :sigh:
