in terminal type defaults write com.microsoft.Word kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool false then launch Word it should go through first run
+8try defaults write com.microsoft.word kSubUIAppCompletedFirstRunSetup1507 -bool false if works change "word" for "excel", "Powerpoint", etc
+8The office plists live in their respective sandbox container. Navigate to ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data/Library/Preferences to see the location. If you'd like a list of preferences: https://macadmins.software/ and click the 'preferences' button at the top. That site is run by microsoft employees.
@thetfordb thanks for that !!
i changed it to FALSE but when i re-luanch excel, the"whats new" screen still does not pop up and the file gets changed back to TRUE.
perhaps im doing something wrong?
im editing the plist with XCODE.... is that what you use?

@vferra - Adding to what was shared regarding the "defaults write" command, the Office for Mac team has put out a training series with a number of Jamf Pro examples in it as well.
