it is a pain! those arrows are too easy to press inadvertantly, and then you have no idea where you text has gone, especially if you are in the middle of editing and you are going back and forth! The one thing that is good about Word is that you have all these options, and you can make the program fit you, not the other way around! please allow a disabling option! I have been using Word since the 80's, that option was not there until now, and I NEVER missed it!! And if somebody wants it, great - make it optional!

Hello, I think that reducing a little bit the default margins would hugely reduce the use of paper around the world. In my Word version, default margins are 2,5 cm (up and down) and 3 cm (left and right). If they were changed to 2,25 cm (up, down, left and right), I think that page design would not be compromised and the amount of paper printed would decrease (as more text would fit in each page). This idea seems reasonable considering the high number of people who use Microsoft Office Word and print documents with the default margins. It would be clearly a sustainable action.

I am wondering if Word plans on introducing a "true small caps" feature, like Libre Office has. Most opentype fonts include separate characters for small caps, but Word doesn't let me use them. Instead, the so-called "small caps" feature in the character-formatting menu mimics small caps by using ALLCAPS set at a lower point size--for instance, the lower-case small caps in 12 points are just all caps in 11 points, and sized up, lower-case small caps at 36 points are just all caps line 29 points. These workaround creates fake small caps, because most fonts have a specifically designed set of small caps characters, with kerning and spacing options. Font designers set the lower-case small caps at/near the font's x-height, so they blend with the plain roman text better. I get that some fonts don't have an opentype small caps feature, and I get that some fonts include a separate font for small caps (to work around this problem with Word). But I am working with Goudy Old Style URW (the one included with Word). It does not have a separate small caps font, and it does have opentype small caps. It would be great if the program let users access these already embedded features.
I really appreciate your help. Also, your answer will affect how I set up my business's WFH offices, including the word-processing software we use.

When the user sets the footnote continuation separator (in Draft View, Show Notes), Word should actually display the continuation separator as the user sets it. This used to display properly in old versions of Word but was dropped many years ago (although, strangely, even in 2020, the user is still given the option to create a continuation separator different from the primary footnote separator even though the former cannot actually display differently.

So either allow the user's continuation-separator input to display in print view or don't allow the user to edit it. I'd prefer to see the different continuation separator allowed because some publishers still insist on a full-line continuation separator, which means I have to save backwards compatible to the old .doc version. This introduces other formatting problems. Thank you.

11/29/2020 I discovered--or maybe your instructions are not clear--that I could not work when my files were shown as additional internet pages. In other words, I decided to save MY files on my computer. I have chosen not to use your ONE DRIVE. And now when I go to save one of my files, using your program, I am told that it is an earlier version and your system refuses to allow me to save it in the most modern form.

I get the feeling that I have No Choice but to use ONE Drive, and yet I should have that ability. I am doing this work on my computer and I want to save it on my computer. You have decided all on your own that I have to do things you way or else. I don't agree. If I have no **** choice, then allow me to load Office 2017 on this computer. I refuse to put only one space at the end of a sentence. I refuse to have to work with the Internet format, and only that format. I have a mind, and I intend to use my mind. I am not, and God help me I never want to be one who blindly does what someone else dictates to me.
Help!!!
