PDFs no longer have OCR after being scanned in the Dropbox app
Suddenly I'm having trouble loading Dropbox PDFs (either saved as from JPEGs on Dropbox or created with Dropbox scanner) into Microsoft Word. "New" issues: PDF exceeds "maximal page size" - How can I change the default page size on Dropbox PDF scanner? Text in/on the Dropbox PDF is not OCR. Even after going through the trouble of changing the PDF size, the text is not OCR (not readable when loading or inserting in to Microsoft Word document and/or cannot be selected, copied, and pasted). All help welcome! Thank you!

Shared Links not working in Word or Publisher
I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and am using Office 2010. Shared links used to open when I inserted them in Word or Publisher documents. They no longer work. Links that I uploaded before the upgrade do not work. If I insert the shared link in an email, it works fine. The problem seems to be exclusive to Office docs. I cannot find any answer for this.
Word for the Web not displaying multilevel list numbers
I am using Word for the Web for collaborative drafting with my team, and to avoid conflicted copies, as described in https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/edit-microsoft-office-documents. The Word document that I created on my desktop has a multilevel list. However, when I open the document in Word for the Web, the multilevel list numbers are not showing. The numbering does show if I open the document in Reading View, but I cannot edit the document in Reading View. How do I display the automatic numbers inserted via a Multilevel List?
Why are files shared with me opened through a web browser?
Why are files shared with me opened through a web browser? At the same time, the files that I created (Excel, Word) are opened using Windows (Microsoft Office 2016)? What should I do so that the files shared with me can be opened using desktop version of Microsoft Office?

Database reference links don't work for other people accessing them
I have an access database and a set of excel files. The database links to the Excel files for data to feed the database. The output from the database is via an Excel file that links back to the database. It all works when I use it but the file references don't work for colleagues. The links are in the form C:\Users\petes\ then the drop box details. With a server I can replace the C: drive letter with the server name and share \\server\share however I don't appear to be able to do the same with dropbox. the suggested answer is to make the drives the same on all the computers that use it. So I would have to set my dropbox to be something generic C:\Databases\xxxx
