Office 365 --Crazy Unreadable Error
Check out this whopper. All I did was *open* a spreadsheet that somebody emailed to me, at work. I get this unreadable, insane message.
I'm not accessing a shared drive, not working on a collaborative project, just *opening an attachment* --that's all. What the holy ƒuck does this even mean??

Google is your friend.
Did you check the possible causes of this no-longer-widely-used setting?

I've done nothing.
If the document is corrupted or out-of-date (somehow??) that's helpdesk's problem. I would ask them about it, but I know they're busy with important things today. Just curious, though. We upgrade to the new Office, and now, seemingly the most simple of tasks spawn these garbled batshit messages for laypeople to be consternated by? Seriously, emailing a spreadsheet is now going to be ROCKET SCIENCE for every office worker in America?? Just WORK. You email me a thing, I have that thing. People don't want fancy bullshit.

Copied the relevant parts from :

There are some workarounds and some solutions, depending... heh, depending, the most freighted word in the helpdesk tech's vocabulary of answers. **** So. Is it still a problem? Do you want or need more help with it? I'm happy to help you with it if you wish.
