Sorry if it's been beaten to death, Google, et. al. seem useless so turning to you guys. (second sorry if this doesn't belong here).

In the vaguest terms, my de facto job responsibilities involve scrambling to preserve massive dumps of old MS Word/Excel files (1997-2003). Was able to circumvent it in a hit-or-miss type converting to PDF since the Windows 11 upgrade, so 18 month or so.

Until this last week. Trust centers, cannot enable content, etc.

Is anyone else in this boat? Please, if you are, what are you doing about it?
