I am using Microsoft Excel, Teams and Outlook on Mac. Always if there is a Link in a E-Mail, a Chat in Teams or a Excel Document Safari is opening.
Where can I change this simple Setting on Mac? I always want to open other Browser like Firefox.
I read all Microsoft description, but they are not for Mac use.

Created a workbook in Excel desktop that uses buttons and hyperlinks to run VBA functions. When
workbook loaded in browser-based Office 365, buttons do not appear and clicking hyperlinks gives
Sorry, we couldn't open this link. The link address may be invalid, or you may not have permission to open it.
How do I get desktop hyperlink and button functionality to port to Office 365?
You need to develop a Web add-in if you want to get your extra functionality working everywhere, see Excel add-ins overview. VBA is for Windows desktop applications only.
According to Microsoft Help: Enhance collaboration with Chat in Microsoft Office. I would expect to see the chat icon for Excel Desktop application, but I don't:
I am using Microsoft Office 3654 ProPlus. I have access to the chat window using this workaround:
Searching online, I found a similar problem, but for Excel online: Unable to find "chat" button when co-authoring excel online, but my issue is only with Excel Desktop application. I am able to see the chat icon with Excel online.
I was trying to add it to the Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar, but that feature does not belong to such sections of the excel header. I am pretty sure its something easy, but I cannot find it.
According to Microsoft, they eliminated the chat button for Excel Desktop App although the Excel Office Online has this option. Now they offer to access to chat function (Join Chat Group) in the way it is explained in the question. Microsoft calls it: "a design change".
So far it happens for the following version:
version 1907(Build 11901.20218)
version 1908(Build 11929.20254) latest one
For more information, please check the response for a similar question in Microsoft Community Forum.
If you don't like it, the only option is to dislike this feature (File->Feedback) from Excel Desktop application.
I am working on Excel add-in but I am new in office.js.
I would like to know if there is a way to set a browser different from IE 11 as default browser to open the add-in.
I saw the same question on URL below, but I didn´t find if the API mentioned on the answer was developed.
How to set the default browser in word addin
I'm afraid that there is currently no API to determine which browser is used when the add-in is running in desktop Office on Windows. (If it is running in Office Online, then of course it opens in whatever browser you are using.)
I want to create an extension that prevents Office documents download and instead opens them in Office Online. Do browsers (preferably Chrome and Edge) have such API and what code do I need to write to implement my idea?
If we talk about Edge then we cannot stop the file from getting download.
If you have the direct link of file then you can directly open it using Office Online.
You can try to store your Office files on OneDrive. Then you can open it via Office Online.
There is an extension available which supports both Chrome and Edge for the same purpose.
If you store the file in OneDrive then it can open the documents in Office online.
But, It cannot stop the Office files from getting download.
Quick access to your Office files in the browser
I did not get any code example to develop the extension that can prevent the user from downloading the Office file and open it in Office Online.
For chrome (although Edge is supposed to support chrome APIs but I've not tested) please check a potential solution at https://browserextensionresources.blogspot.com/2018/09/intercepting-file-download-in-chrome.html
I'm using a 3rd party software which stores office documents and the front-end is a web-client.
Didn't have this issue when used with Office 2003.
With office 2007 when I try to open the document from IE it asks for Windows credentials, I can then cancel that and it would still open the document.
However if I click on 'Save' rather than 'Open' it saves the document without asking for any credentials.
I have applied the following Microsoft KB, but no result:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=943280
Does IE behave different when you click on 'Open' or 'Save' other than one you choose the location and the other stores it in a temp (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files)
Also tested on other browsers, Chrome and Firefox and it works fine, but the 3rd party software only supports IE.
Any help is much appreciated.
