I cannot send a microsoft word file either from word or from gmail on my Mac. From word I'm getting this error message: Your default mail client Google Chrome doesn't support attachments. And from gmail Word attachments aren't even showing up as an option. This has never happened before. Help, before I throw my computer out the window.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Where is the .docx file saved? The desktop, or somewhere else?
Using Chrome, once you are signed in to mail.google.com, after you click the Compose button you should get a New Message pop-up window. What happens when you then click the Attach File icon (looks like a paperclip)? I get a dialog box that lets me navigate to whatever file location I want.

I get all that but none of my word documents are an option anymore. I gave up and sent it as an attachment from my phone without a problem, but I'm still really annoyed. It's saved to my one drive.

That *is* weird. We don't have Word installed on the Mac I have access to at work, but I used TextEdit to create a quick test file, saved it as .docx, and it showed up in the Attach File dialog just fine.

So far, so good.
A couple of minor changes that got my attention, but everything seems to be working okay.

Ok someone help me. A recent update means instead of hitting a button at the top of my safari on iPad and seeing a list of my favorites, I now get a menu saying “safari” and how many tabs I have open and a spot for “shared with you” and then bookmarks, I have to clock the bookmarks to get to them. It’s obnoxious. How do I fix this??

I'm not sure this will get you what you are asking for, but if you go to the Settings app and select Safari, there is a toggle for "Show Favorites Bar," and also a Favorites selector that lets you choose either Favorites or BookmarksBar.

Yeah, I ended up doing that because better than nothing, but basically the button n the menu bar that used to be “tap this and get to bookmarks/favorites” now requires multiple clicks to get there and I find that annoying AF
