Word, Excel, PowerPoint
In WorkZone for Office, you can create, save, view, and edit your own or your colleagues' documents:
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Microsoft Word documents
- Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
If your organization uses OAuth2 for user authentication
- Enter your credentials in the Internet Explorer window that opens when you start working in the application. You will need to enter the credentials for each application: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. For automatic authentication, add the WorkZone site to the local intranet zone in the Internet Explorer settings (Tools > Internet options > Security tab > Local intranet > Sites > Advanced > type the domain and click Add).
- If you get a warning dialog that Microsoft Office 365 has blocked the sign-in dialog because the sign-in method may be insecure, please ask your administrator to enable the form-based authentication in Office 365 apps.
You can unblock yourself by changing a security setting in the Office Trust Center. You can do so proactively by going to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Form-based sign-in, or you can wait until you have been prompted to open Trust Center via a warning dialog.
In the Trust Center > Form-based Sign-in panel, change Block all sign-in prompts to Ask me what to do for each host and save the changes. The list of safe hosts will be auto-populated based on your future actions.
After you have made this change in the Trust Center, Office will not block future sign-in prompts. Instead, it will show a dialog asking if you want to continue signing in. If yes, Office will show the sign-in prompt immediately. In the future, Office will provide sign-in prompts for this allowed host, which will be added to the list of Hosts allowed to show sign-in prompts in the Trust Center > Form-based Sign-in.
