    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

    ability to real time co edit using any online hosting provider...not just one drive. co editing today takes too many steps.

    A primary gap in my daily, and personal use of Word Online, is the missing reference functions like citation management, caption management, and table of contents management features.
