I completed my upgrade to Catalina yesterday, after updating my MS Office and other apps to the latest version. I used all of my Office apps yesterday and this morning, but a few moments ago, the following dialog message appeared in Outlook:

"Microsoft Outlook would like to receive keystrokes from any application."

It directed me to the Security & Privacy Preferences pane to a tab which lets me check:
Allow the apps below to monitor input from your keyboard even while using other apps." Outlook is listed, but unchecked.

Anyone know about this? Outlook is Version 16.30.
 
Saw that yesterday when I was installing it, questioned it but allowed it for now. I send mail directly from other apps and thought it may have something to do with that but I really am guessing there.
