Office 2024
What should I pay particular attention to after updating to Office 2024
- In Outlook, the navigation bar for Mail, Calendar, and People is now located at the top left. You can move it by going to File → Options → Advanced. There, uncheck the box next to “Show apps in Outlook” and restart Outlook

- Pinned icons of Office programs disappear from the taskbar during the update. The programs must be pinned there again. To do this, right-click on a started Office application in the taskbar and select "Pin to taskbar" to keep this program permanently in the taskbar.
-
When searching for contacts in the address book while composing emails, you must press Enter to confirm your entry in order to start the search.
