Hello! I have Office 365 x64 on Windows 10 2004 x64, and your app didn't manage to find my office directory, Here is my quick fix and recommendations, please note I'm not a pro, was just having some fun. Hope it helps!

I appreciate your help, although the 32-bit Windows radio button under the Tools>Options...>Advanced tab should make it work with 64-bit Office based on my testing with 64-bit Office 2019 on Windows 10 version 2004. I'll admit that it's a little convoluted from what would be expected if someone were to use 64-bit Office with it, so I'm planning on making those two radio buttons more clear in the next version. Instead of what they say now, they'll say things like "64-bit Office on 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Office on 32-bit Windows..." and the like. (This will probably require removing "64/32-bit mode" from the titlebar as that won't make much sense. Maybe changing it to "PF/PF (x86) mode" would be better, though that would require an explanation in the Options window.)

The only reason why using it with 64-bit Office requires checking the 32-bit Windows radio button is that Microsoft didn't recommend 64-bit Office at the time this was first built so 32-bit Windows was the only recommended instance I was aware of where Office used "Program Files" (other than Office 2013 MSI), but with Office 2019, they now recommend 64-bit Office.
