I use a lot of Word documents with embedded Excel workbook objects. When using systems with multiple monitors, editing of embedded worksheets breaks if the monitors have different scaling.

For example if I am using a laptop with an external monitor and try to edit an embedded Excel object, the workbook will open in a separate Excel window instead of within the Word document. As a result, there is no way to change the range of cells that are displayed in Word. This only occurs if the scaling on the two monitors is different.

The workarounds are to either disconnect the second monitor and restart Word, or to copy the desired range in Excel and paste it back into Word as a new embedded Excel worksheet object.

A few ideas with this one after customising a document for a client. I would like to see more flexibility to alter the colours in the Design tab.

Idea 1: Enable more accent colours to be added - 6 is limiting and my client wanted 8 colours in their document for example - I managed to do this but the colour palette should have been customisable to make this easier.

Idea 2: Enable more Text and Background colours to be added - 4 is too limiting and it would be great if the number could be determined by the user

Idea 3: Remove the locked on the customise window - this was so annoying! It serves no purpose - I wanted to be able to flick back to the document to check the order I save the colour, but the locked window prevent me from doing that.

Idea 4: If you have already used custom colours outside the theme, then these should also show under 'recent colours' when you are customising the colours for the design - currently they don't so you have to go back it to document, select either the text or shading, find the hex number, copy this and then add either text/document or Accent colour manually,

Idea 5 - allow the user to add labels to the colour so that the user knows what these are for - Accent, Text/ background etc is not particularly useful. I want to be able to add a label which says what the colour is for not have it predetermine with a label that is confusing.

In word we can use different styling for different word. Now let's say one styling combination is: 1st - Font: Calibri light, Bold, Color: red, Size: 14 for 2nd combination it may be 2nd - Font: Arial, Italic, Color: Black, Size: 11. Now if we have to use this combination in several different places then we have to click on all these 4 buttons again and again. So if we can create one option say comb1 if we
Click on it all 4 combinations will apply to the text. It will reduce our time drastically. Currently, I am facing this issue.

The Word spellchecker has an annoying way of treating two words separated by a '.' as one word. For example,

System.Exception should not get a squiggly line since it is just something containing two valid words separated by a '.'. Word correctly recognizes the '<' symbol as not being part of a word. For example

Dictionary<TKey, TValue> does not flag 'Dictionary' with a red squiggly line. It does correctly flag 'TKey' as not being a word in its spell-checker (although apparently 'TValue' is). However, if you remove the space between TKey and TValue as in

Dictionary<TKey,TValue> then it flags 'TKey,TValue' as a single word not in the spell-checker, apparently treating the comma (,) as part of a word. In my opinion, except for hyphens, no other punctuation should be considered as part of a word for spell-checking purposes. Is there a way to tell word what punctuation delimits a word so we get a lot less squiggly red lines?

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
eben habe ich lange mit dem Support geredet und er meinte, ich solle das Problem an Sie wenden.
Es geht um die neue Kommentarfunktion, die vielleicht für Teamsitzungen praktisch sein mag, aber nicht für Einzelpersonen. Als Autor und Lektor kommentiert man die Texte allein und schickt sie dann weiter. Man braucht dann keine umständliche Bestätigung für jeden einzelnen Kommentar - außer einem selbst sieht die sowieso erst mal niemand.
Durch die neue Funktion wird meine ganze Arbeit total gebremst: Ich muss ständig jeden Kommentar extra bestätigen, was ebenso nervig wie umständlich ist. Wenn ich im Schnitt 10 Kommentare pro Seite habe, sind das bei einem 300 Seiten Buch 3000(!!!) Bestätigungen! Das heißt, ich muss ständig zurückgehen, bestätigen - und dann vergisst man es auch noch und muss wieder zurück und weiß am Ende nicht mehr, wo man ist.
Wenn man einen Kommentar ändern will, hat man das gleiche Problem. Man muss den Kommentar extra neu öffnen!
Drittes Problem: Die Makros, die man sich selbst erstellt hat, funktionieren nicht in den Kommentaren.
All das ging vorher problemlos!
Kann man nicht wenigstens die Anwender wählen lassen, ob sie das so wollen? Jeder, der im Verlagswesen arbeitet, leidet unter den neuen Kommentaren: Lektoren und Autoren. Das ist wirklich ein RÜCKschritt!
Zusätzliches Problem: Das Diktierprogramm Dragon natural speaking ist NICHT MEHR kompatibel. Man kann in die Kommentare nicht mehr - wie vorher - diktieren. (Dragon natural speaking). = Man muss jetzt alles extra selbst tippen oder über die Diktierfenster-Funktion von Dragon gehen (die dann aber bei jedem einzelnen Kommentar neu geöffnet werden muss). Wenn man das 3000 Mal in einem Buch machen muss - ahnen Sie, wie umständlich und ZEITRAUBEND das ist?!
Beste Grüße

The basic WURD settings that are customizable by the User, and apply to all documents, should live as a part of the user's 365 account information. Currently, a user has to set these options to match their personal preferences on each machine that they use - I have four in my home and trying to keep them all with the same settings/preferences or remember which computer is going to behave in which manner becomes frustrating If these settings lived with the users account data in the cloud the would be available for that user on any machine, in any location, at any time. No lost productivity and frustration with remembering what the settings are, where they are located (which tab, under which heading, etc.), instead, they would automatically be adjusted to those preferences that the user is accustomed to, and when a change is made on one machine it is or at least can be applied globally whenever and wherever thastt user signs in.
