Thanks for your response. More than solutions to specific concerns, I was hoping this thread would lead to a forum where people discussed this sort of thing, generally. I am an administrator for an org with multiple locations, and we have heavily leveraged our Microsoft licensing, as you may see from the title, above.
But as I have yet to find such a community through both Apple and Microsoft inquiries and abhor the thought of visiting the "Genius" bar for enterprise-level issues, I guess I'll have to keep combing the threads and Internet at large for possible avenues while burrowing deeper into both Apple and Micrsoft until I find the person who's done this sort of thing.
In the meantime, one issue that bedevils me is the inability to insert SharePoint doc numbers in footers in Word for Mac. In the Windows version, I can use Insert Property to insert the Document ID Value which is assigned to every document indexed in SharePoint Online. And I can place an icon on the Ribbon bar to do so.
On the Mac, this is not available. What I can do is use the following steps:
- Insert
- Field
- Document Information
- DocProperty
- Options
- _dlc_DocIdItemGuid
- Add to field
- OK
- OK
This adds the Document ID GUID to the document which is not the same as the Document ID shown in SharePoint Online, so while people can search for a document using the ID GUID, it's overly cumbersome to input into a document in contrast to the Windows version, and might confuse some people when searching for the document in SPO.
