Turn off/disable them, to see if this helps with getting your EndNote CWYW to work.After the update, my current files and profile seems to load fine, just the online archive is missing. Make sure you do not have any other add-ins to your Word that can conflict with the EndNote CWYW add-in. In Spotlight Search, type Keychain Access, and then double-click Keychain Access in the search results.0 Goodbye Chromebook support for Office Android appsMaster Category List support and enhancements delivering access to category lists (name and color) and sync between Mac, Microsoft Windows and OWA clients.EndNote CWYW only works on stable and tested versions of Word, so do not participate in any early access/beta testing scheme. Start Keychain Access by using one of the following methods: Select the Finder application, click Utilities on the Go menu, and then double-click Keychain Access. Quit Outlook and all other Office applications.I used my own Chromebook that has the Android version of Office installed and I also accessed Office365.com in my browser.Microsoft “Evil Empire”? Google platform fans really shouldn’t be throwing stones from glass houses on that one! And I say this as a Google platform user since like 2006.Yeah, no idea why Google won’t make this a lot simpler. There could be missing functionality, for example, or the inability to use the web app when offline.I don’t have any official comment from Microsoft to share on that front, but I did do some limited research on my own. One of the main reasons is because the web equivalent of an app isn’t always equivalent to that of a native app. Some people simply prefer native applications over web-based solutions. And I can understand that.Even then I still don’t see Google doing a Linux app store type thing on Chromebooks, it’s not a clever thing marketing wise or tech wise as you say, they would be doing it by now if they wanted.I honestly feel that Chromebooks wont exist in 5 years now because Google are not behind them enough whether talking about PWAs or Linux. What could change that is the whole steam bringing Windows games to Linux through it’s compatibility layer. ReplyAltman what you write would be great, at least short term before they make PWAs better.Probably wont happen because Google don’t’ really care about Linux on Cbooks apart from thinking it would be a way to keep techies and developers happy, which Google in it’s naivety thought would sell more Chromebooks because they think end users listen to developers and techies when making buying decisions.I see no evidence that Google are going to put Linux to every day end users. Which is frustrating because every Chromebook that is capable of running Android apps – meaning 4 GB of RAM and a relatively recent dual core or better processor – can run LibreOffice in Crostini. It is also something that would be really easy to do, like “6 week summer project for a CS major intern” easy but Google won’t pull the trigger.
Office 365 Missing Access Free And NeverSo, I can do a professional work from Android. Believe it or not, I work from home, as a Project Manager, in a software development company, using a Samsung phone connected to a dock (DeX system) and working almost exclusively with MS 365 apps (apart from JIRA, which is our main collaboration tool at work). You can always run Android versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and many other MS Office tools on a Chromebook. I do not see the problem here. What the business people at google realise is that if Google take the desktop OS market they will have to give away largely free and never make the money Microsoft do so no point other than to keep the search monopoly. Chrome, Chromebooks etc are just ways to keep the search monopoly or toys for the techies there to play with.Septemat 6:55 pm – a fair point about the politics and power of the various ‘ecosystems’.From a ‘business user’ perspective — see my earlier post about this.– The ‘Office suite’ isn’t really the ‘Office suite’ (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook) anymore, now it has morphed into M365 — the big 4 but also a ton of other tools, like Forms, Stream, Power Automate not to mention very tight integration of all the above with SharePoint Online and Onedrive.– The capabilities of the online versions (Outlook Online Word Online etc) Office suite part of M365 are continuing to develop, in many cases faster than the ‘app’ versions. If I am writing something, then a basic text editor will do to get the words down – they can always be cut/paste and formatted later.So 3 cheers (or at least 2.5) for the end of the Android Office apps. Honestly, it rarely is an issue that I would want to work offline and need access to all the features of the app. Not really part of the Office apps, but the Teams Android app on CB is especially weird and horrible – the browser version is far more smooth.The only thing I can see is this ‘use offline’ — I’ve not tried it out to see if the use of PWA makes a difference. Outlook online, especially with Exchange Online mailbox is so much better than Outlook app for some things that I often use it even on my work laptop.Android versions of Excel, Word, by contrast have had a horrible ‘look & feel’ and a limited feature set – both testament to their ‘phone heritage’ I guess. The experience so far as I can tell is pretty identical with using the same online tools in modern Edge on my work laptop.From my perspective not being online is a rare occurrence, but I can see it might be a stumbling block for some use-cases and some contexts.Also, while M365 works great on a CB, that is still a long way from being a device that will replace an actual ‘main device laptop’.Too many other data, and tools that are needed in a work role. I can create, edit and review/collaborate from simple to reasonably complex documents. For instance in Excel Online, there is now a Office Scripts capability which is like VBA only better (caveat — that is available on my work M365 which is obviously a higher grade subscription (likely one of the E for Enterprise licences) but not on my personal M365.– Chromebook actually works very well with the above – in fact to update my earlier post, I can actually keep both a work M365 session going and a personal one at the same time without having to resort to incognito windows. Best free bible app for macAnd increasingly as my company moves to a more digital-centred toolset, the CB and similar devices will become more relevant, not less.
