Allow users to customise the touch bar
In spite of a similar looking request being marked completed, Microsoft has still not provided end users the ability to customise the touch bar. This is standard functionality in most modern Mac applications and is useful for many different good reasons, particularly for applications as sophisticated as the Microsoft Office suite - there is a lot of scope for customising to one's own workflow.
Please!! Let us customise the touch bar!!

Problem = show_in_navigation_pane column in Edit_Categories dialogue is not visible

No right-left scroll tool available to see additional column in Edit_Categories dialogue for Mac Outlook
The default column widths for the Preferences > Edit_Categories has the default width of the category_name column set to be approximately 100 percent of the width of the dialogue category selector.
Because there is no horizontal slider as there would be in the Windows version of the category_edit dialogue, the three columns the default width of the category_name column being defaulted…

Make EVERYTHING just like Windows.
Why can't Office for Mac programs have the same features and customizations as Office for Windows ?!?! You can enlarge buttons in Outlook Windows, but not Mac; You can customize the ribbon in Outlook Windows, but not Mac; you can enlarge the folder font in Outlook Windows but not Mac, etc. etc. etc. Other than trying to punish people for purchasing a Mac instead of Windows, what could possibly be the reason for this?
