I have been using Outlook ( Web) for ages. Today I noticed that on the extreme left of the pane,showing the folders, a column of Icons has appeared, including "Excel"
I have not subscribed to "Office 365". I do not, therefore, use Excel.I use "Libre Office" ( which is free !)
Interestingly if I open this "Excel" icon and save a "test" spreadsheet; when I open it again, it opens in "Libre Office Calc"
Also,It sends a copy to my "OneDrive"! I won't be using it again but am puzzled why it has just shown-up in Outlook.
Can anyone please explain this ?
Thankyou ( screenshot attached)
Sorry: for some reason ,when you tap on the image,you have to select "zoom" to see the column.

Re: Outlook/Office 365
Hi jonbar.1,
First off Google has all your answers.............
Microsoft pushed out a "Patch" that put the icons on Outlook and the Start Tiles.........if you use them..........
If you create/download a MS office type file and you have LibreOffice it will open them in its format.
Hope that answers your question............

Thanks Enrique.
I was just a bit concerned that I had inadvertently subscribed to "Office 365" !
I also found it annoying that ,if I created a spreadsheet,it saved it into my OneDrive.
Cheers JB
