Uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365 on Windows and Mac, preserve documents, back up Outlook PST files, remove Mac app containers, reinstall from office.com, activate with the right account, and troubleshoot after reinstalling.

Recover Outlook messages from Deleted Items, restore recently removed items, permanently delete messages, search all folders first, understand Microsoft 365 and Outlook.com retention windows, ask admins about backups, and empty Deleted Items on exit.

Protect Excel sheets while leaving selected cells editable, understand locked cells and Protect Sheet, lock an entire sheet, unprotect sheets, compare Protect Sheet and Protect Workbook, allow edit ranges, and fix cells that still cannot be edited.

Recall or replace sent Outlook messages, understand Exchange and Microsoft 365 limitations, check recall success reports, respond when recall fails, use delayed sending and Undo Send, and know why external or already-read emails cannot be pulled back.

Merge Excel cells safely, understand why Excel keeps only the upper-left value, combine text with formulas, use TEXTJOIN, paste values, avoid sorting problems, use Center Across Selection, and unmerge cells.

Combine Word documents with tracked changes, merge reviewer copies, insert separate files into one document, compare versus combine, resolve conflicts, clean pasted styles, and create a final accepted version.
