Microsoft  respects your privacy, but, I cannot click on, and CLOSE?  When trying to close the Microsoft Office 365, it will not let me close, but, does say Click on Word, etc.!

    Found the solution: Use your "tab" button to get the cursor to move over to the right part of the screen that you can't see. Keep going through the various screens until you approve the privacy policy. I reduced my screen resolution but I don't think it's necessary. You'll see the cursor move off the links on the left side of the screen, and when it disappears, you'll know that your cursor is on the "OK" button that is hidden on the right side of the box. Hope this helps.

    That sounds like a useful workaround for those who are experiencing this issue. Thanks for the idea.

    Note that changing the screen resolution would of course only be temporary. You can change it back afterwards. :-)

    Thanks; that's logical and I think it would work.  Unfortunately I followed a suggestion on another thread and deleted Word and Excel files so that I no longer see the Microsoft respects your privacy blurb.  In my case, there's no way I can tab right, don't know how to undo what I've done.

    I wish I'd seen your reply first!

    That worked!  I had to lower my display resolution quite a bit.  I was then able to see the full dialog box, to confirm the agreement, click, "done", etc.  Glad I saw your suggestion--thanks!
