She was upset as to why the office was closed without her

Hi

Is this sentence OK--I mean the use of 'as to'?

She was upset as to why the office was closed without her permission.

Thanks,

Tom

It sounds fine to me, though "upset" isn't the usual kind of word we use before "as to why". More likely, "puzzled", "confused", or "baffled". CJ
