  1. I am experiencing a weird issue. We are trying to register an office for mac 2019, we insert the key into setup.office.com, download the installer and install it, and when opening word or any app for the first time, we are presented with a sign in window for activation. The user then enters their respective email address which they used when they created their office.com profile.

Knowing the keyboard shortcuts included in the Microsoft Office suite applications will help you manage your documents much faster, and as a consequence, be more productive.Note that the shortcuts that Microsoft proposes for its applications on Mac are scarce, especially if we compare them with the Windows version.

Word 2016 for Windows This article shows all keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Word 2016. Notes:. If a shortcut requires two or more keys at the same time, the keys are separated by a plus sign (+). If you have to press one key immediately after another, the keys are separated by a comma (,). So, I was having this BRUTALLY annoying issue on my macs (when I work from home, I work on my mac) where, every time I launched Outlook 2016, I would be prompted to login with my credentials. Just super annoying and unnecessary. Theres a ton of documentation on 'how to fix this' but a lot of it misses an important step (also, a facepalm step).

Step 6:
In the screenshot below, notice that the first editor comment has been highlighted.

In the next screenshot, the editor comment has been deleted. The cursor will automatically advance to the next comment. Repeat Step 5 to delete the remaining comments.

Make sure you quit Outlook and other Office apps.

Search 'Exchange' under Login --> All Items and delete everything (NOT EVERYTHING - take a look and make sure you're only deleting entries that are in some way related to Microsoft)

    Thanks for posting, but the login box still appears. A question -- when I searched Exchange, should I delete the Private Exchange Key (two of them) and Public Exchange Key (also two files)?

    still not working for me. I have 3 office 365 accounts, and every time I should enter the password 3 times for each account. It is really annoying

    A couple of steps we added to our recipe to workaround this longstanding issue:

    - Open Keychain Access > View > Show Invisible Items
    - After deleting entries in Keychain related to office, exchange, and adal > restart computer.
    - In Keychain > lock the login entry.
    - Open Outlook > input password to allow access to Keychain again
    - Continue with steps to input password into the password textbox under Tools > Accounts > mailbox(es) having issues
    - Restart Outlook
