Screencap showing the little bug that appears whenever you click into or start a new paragraph in the home version of MS Word for MacOS. The full dialog doesn't come up, but the little bug shows up repeatedly, & there's apparently no way to turn it off. Selected text "Friday" from a Word document. Dialog box says: "Use Office connected experiences. To enable this experience, change your privacy preferences." Followed by buttons "Privacy Preferences" and "Cancel" Oh HAIL no

Oh FUCK YOU, Microsoft, what fresh hell is this? This just started turning up today. Whenever I start or click into a different paragraph. And there's apparently no way to turn off the "alert" bug in 365 for MacOS.
Welp. Unless I can learn to ignore it, this may be the thing that pushes me over the edge into using Open Office. (Is that the current best open replacement for Word?)
