Office for Mac 15.21.1 and Outlook message "some of the files in this web page aren't in the expected location...."

Life prior to 15.21.1 upgrade was OK.

Could start Outlook for Mac, select new email and away I go.

Following the update to 15.21.1, every time I start a new email or reply to a new email I get the message "some of the files in this web page aren't in the expected location. do you want ot download them anyway? if you're sure the web page is from a trusted source, click yes"

I assume it's referring to my signature, which is provided to my by my employer, so I trust it :-)

After that, I keep getting annoying clicks when I type on the keyboard, or boing noises...didn't encounter this, pre 15.21.1

    A meeting invite is just an email with an added invite? Never mind that (although I find it very strange indeed, such a basic function). The issue at hand is really that Outlook can't use images properly in signatures at all (as this thread clearly tries to communicate).

    YES!!

    Would someone from Microsoft please address this? It is ridiculous that an app supposedly for businesses makes this function so difficult. I have wasted an enormous amount of time troubleshooting this for our organization.

    We may just ditch Office 365 entirely & go with Google apps. It is way easier and we can all get back to doing our real jobs.

    FIXED!!!

    Hello All, I fixed this issue today, Outlook was upgraded but unfortunately nothing happens 😖 issue still exists!!

    In order of that I rewrote my signature using old style layout, just like I did it in my Office 2013 Windows machine, using a Table with all the rows and columns I need. 

    I place and combine cells as need it with excellent results, my signature has images + hyperlinks, now issue was solved, no new advertise or warning at all.

    Image Combined Name
    Image Email
    Image Phone 1
    Image Phone 2
    Image URL
    Image Social
    Image

    I hope this help you guys!
