Thanks for leaving us feedback on this!
Word Online is consistently working towards feature parity with our desktop applications, in addition to incorporating new features. Please let us know if there are any specific features you would like to see.

Word, unlike Google Docs, wasn't "born in the cloud" so there's a lot missing, but I agree that Microsoft really needs to achieve parity between their desktop and online tools. Worst case, it at least needs to get a hold of whatever features that prevent further use for online collaborators and "gray out" and/or lock for editing the specific offending content and allow all other portions of the document to be edited online.
This message should never be presented and shouldn't be an impediment to online collaboration.

Picture Format / Wrap Text / Square - for images with text wrapping.
We have a large document library containing work instructions with screen prints that are wrapped around text to make them the guides easy to follow.
When a user opens the document, it defaults to the light view which grossly distorts the alignment of the images making them very difficult to follow.
As Office365 is still relatively new, most people don't know there's a light and full version and that there is very limited functionality in the light version.
This has led to Word documents being saved as PDF files to remove the formatting issue, but that then leads to version control issues and broken links.
I've tried to create a document from scratch in light view; the function is there but doesn't appear to work.
I would love for this to be fixed/added please. -

Primarily: it would be nice if onpremise document layout is preserved when document is opened online. This is a pain **********

As has been mentioned before, and has been "under review" since 2015 (!!!!), full functionality of track changes in Word Online is CRUCIAL for business use. How is it taking this long to add it...

Then no one's gonna pay 50 bucks for the desktop version of word if the online one has the same features.

The save needs to be seamless - when saving in Word online sometimes it reverts back to the original text and since it saved there is no way to get the few sentences/paragraph typed back and I have to retype it all. It is even worse when there are multiple people working in the file at one time - sections go missing. It is very frustrating.

Yes, all options should be available in word online just like it is in Word desktop. Compared to Google docs Word online has little functions and features online
