Getting to edit menu in One Drive

Rahul Bajaj #102527 Hi All, My office colleagues use One Drive for collaboration. One challenge that I face is this. Sometimes, a document is shared with me via email. I am expected to open it, go to the edit menu, click on open in desktop, and then the document will open in word. However, the problem that arises is that I am unable to find the edit menu with the keyboard. ANy ideas?

Michael Mote #102532 Hi there. You can force these files to open in the native desktop app. You do this by making an adjustment in your Word/Excel settings. If you are in the desktop app, press Alt plus the letter F, followed by the letter T for options. You should land on the general options. You will need to use the down arrow key to find the advanced options, and then tab to the option that says Link handling. Please note, you will need to tab many times to find this. There are a lot of settings in the advanced options. You will want to check the box that says "Open supported hyperlinks to office files in office desktop apps. The check box should be unchecked by default. Check the box, and then try to access the document using the link sent to you. The file should open in the native desktop app. I hope this helps. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 11/18/22, Rahul Bajaj <rahul.bajaj1038@...> wrote: Hi All, My office colleagues use One Drive for collaboration.

Rahul Bajaj #102533 Michael, many thanks. Quick question: what do you mean by being in the desktop app? DO you mean being in the desktop area? If so, when I am in that area, nothing happens on pressing alt+f. Rahul toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, 18 Nov 2022 at 18:10, Michael Mote <miketmote73@...> wrote: Hi there.

Michael Mote #102551 Hi there. I mean the Word desktop version. In the desktop version of Word, you perform the steps that I provided earlier. Sorry for the misunderstanding. toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Rahul Bajaj Sent: Friday, November 18, 2022 6:55 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Getting to edit menu in One Drive Michael, many thanks.
