Our company has introduced Office 365 and I continue getting these "tip of the day" balloon popups which disturb me and which are annoying. How do I turn those off for all Office applications so that they never appear again? I don't want to learn more. I just need to get my work done.

Powerpoint Tell your story with video

Powerpoint Save time by reusing slides

I assume that I will see those in Word, Excel, OneNote, Publisher, Outlook, Access as well, so please, if possible I'd like a solution for all of them.

And BTW: this time-saving new feature (last screenshot) is slower than good old copy/paste.

This post might have an answer: Office 365 Outlook balloon/tips?

A user there has set the following two registry items under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\TeachingCallouts:

  • SLRToggleReplaceTeachingCalloutID : Value 2
  • UseTighterSpacingTeachingCallout : Value 2

This solved that user's problem with popups.

Note that if this solves your own problem, but that this fix is undone after reboot, then this setting is forced by your administrator. You could in this case create a Startup script to set these registry items when you login and before you start Office.
