It drives me mad. I edit and review a lot of wordy text and constantly find that I really struggle to highlight text, as in simply clicking and selecting text precisely. It always assumes you want the whole word after starting on the second letter, decides to include the punctuation after you clicked beside it, decides to highlight ine extra character to the left for absolutely no reason etc. Is there a way to turn that off so that if I select text, then the text I selected... is the only text selected? I really don't know how to articulate this using google

Thanks!

Hi I am currently writing a large document which multiple people have access to. For whatever reason Microsoft word can also edit the document. It will cross out random section then re-insert the exact same text for for reason then ask me to review it. How do I turn this off. It seems to happen every time I insert new citations using endnote.
Kind regards

I need to use Microsoft Word and occasionally Excel and PowerPoint for work. What is the best way and version to buy for my 2020 Macbook. I need a version that does not require signing in at all and works without internet connection. Thanks

I am just wonfering. Why is Microsoft Word more preferred over Google Docs?

I like Google Docs because collaboration is enhanced, as well as woth a few other things like it, at the very least, but I lioe Microsoft Word, not just for the nostalgia of it, or from it, but also because of all of the original features, and the retro experience, of using it.

I wonder what all of you think. I thank all of you in advance. Cheers and Love!!

This just happened over the weekend after an update apparently. All users in my org are not able to compare documents, every file in the file selector is greyed out. Anyone have an idea what's happening?

How on earth do I format a 876,121 word document so it’s under 1000 pages? 

Edit thank you everyone the problem was the printing format

I have a very large Word document for print publication. I want to insert the images using links to preserve the image resolution. I need several people to work on the document. Can we save it in a Google Drive and keep all the links working? What happens if we want to move the document & image folder - as long as they're next to each other will the links maintain, or does everything break the moment you move them? Suggestions welcome!

Hi,

as the title mentions, I'm quite confused on how to proceed with this instruction. I have a paper due, and it mentions this instruction : single-spaced, with six lines per inch or less. What does it mean, I get it for single-spaced, but how can I verify the six lines per inch ?

Thanks

This issue has only occurred on one document, one for a new story I'm working on, and only between the centre-aligned underlined Chapter Three title and the non-indented first paragraph, and the second indented paragraph of that same chapter. It also only occurs with the font Times New Roman.

What I've noticed is that it's coming from the proofing options. Between the first paragraph of Chapter Three and upwards in the document, the proofing is shown in the full list with all the words and the replacing the letter 'i' with 'I', but between the second paragraph of Chapter Three and downwards in the document, the proofing list shows only the autocorrecting of symbols, such as ->.

I have found no help in other places, so I'd appreciate some answers.

Hi all,

Trying to do this with StyleRef Header 1 then insert Simple page number after Tab but the page number always jumps to the next line & can't be changed.

Any solutions appreciated ☺

I noticed this morning at work that Microsoft Word has a new function that shows Copilot on the bottom right hand side of the screen.

For my work I am not allowed to use AI for anything due to confidentiality.

I want to remove this function as all it's going to be is a decoration on the bottom of my screen (it's already frustrating me to see there). I already know I can collapse it so it's only slightly there but I want it completely gone.

Has anyone been able to remove it?

Word App for Windows

Word on browser (365)

I want to use this font but it really gets in the way of my writing because of my native language having so much of these accents. It does normally show up when I save it as a PDF but it still bugs sometimes on browser, how do I fix this?

Just joined this sub, so forgive me if this is a tired old topic. I swear Jasmine UPC used to be available for Word, but I just bought a license, and it wasn't there. So...I downloaded the .tff and unzipped the file. It shows up in my Word font list, but I can't use it. Even when I set it to DEFAULT, it goes back to the first one alphabetically. Google isn't helping. Please HALP! (Windows 11 Home)

I was formatting a book in MS word everything was good and when i complete the book formatting the were blank pages randomly .................I can't figure out how to control the spawning or how it works and it feel random

so I tried editing from start of the raw doc while checking print preview and found out.....until I turned on Different odd and even everything was fine in the print preview

can anyone explain how this works and i have done many formatting of college work like thesis etc... but i am new to this book formatting

Note: I didn't use the odd even break either and I though it was because of mirror margin and tried formatting again from the start but the culprit was different odd even

Can book formatters explain plzzzz.......

Hi folks. A client wants me to show her how to create a new template she can just open (so a selectable template appears in the New doc template gallery). I found mine and clicked "save as" to get the path, but the path is utterly useless!

It's C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft

I go to users\myname and none of the rest follows. I go to Programs (x86) and Microsoft is there, but not the Template folder.

Can anyone give me the instructions for where to save a new template so it will appear under the personal tab here? (I'm on a PC, using Windows 11/Office 2021 installed). I believe my client is on a Mac.
