r/word

I’m a neurodivergent individual that has ocd tendencies. I don’t prefer meeting strangers and I prefer my own space that other people don’t touch. I am highly motivated and intelligent and would like to get into copy typing or data entry. Has anyone done this? I’m dependable. I have internet and computers that I can use. I’ve only ever used Google Docs before and I would like to get started using Microsoft Word. Does anyone have any tips or advice on using it? Thank you!

I need to search and delete a particular sequence that would look like this:
<word word=“word###”>

“word” is standing in for some specific text that is repeated in the document. “#” is standing in for any number - say these are sequences of five numbers. The carets don’t stand in for anything.

Word doesn’t find anything when I enter the sequence above. I’ve tried to Google it but all possibly helpful links are blocked.

The challenge is that I need this for a work project and I can’t download any programs I don’t already have (Microsoft Office, Acrobat, etc.)

Is this do-able? I really don’t want to do this manually as there are dozens and dozens of these sequences.

Thanks in advance!

My search on the Internet says no, but really?
I can create an icon for the Quick Access Toolbar, but what I need is a keyboard shortcut.
Thanks.

I need help creating and printing a metallic gold border inside each label using the Avery 22806 label template in Microsoft Word. I’m looking for guidance on how to set up the border so it is positioned correctly within each label and prints with a metallic gold appearance. I have the hex color for the project, the shape, but trying to get consistency, I can also provide the template that im working with

Sorting As Recommended still doesn't sort As Recommended? What did they do to this document???

It's fine in the styles pane, but the Manage Styles dialog is unmanageable. Curious if anybody else has ever run into this or might know a fix. I'm sending it back inside of an hour, either way, as the core functionality of the doc isn't hindered, and that's all they care about, but this is bizarre.
