Hi

I’m a paid up subscriber to O365 however when I access Word or Excel on my Chromebook basic functions are missing which are too numerous to log here but the main one I am enquiring about is format painter in Word. It's such a basic function and yet I cant understand why its missing. Why are non-windows using people penalised in this way even though i am paying for a service?

    Regarding your incident, I must tell you that at the moment for Word and Excel using a Chromebook the format editor is not enabled. As an alternative solution, I suggest you follow the recommended steps in the community thread generated by one of our DaveM121 Advisor.
