With the Sierra OS X update on the Mac, Khmer Unicode no longer fully renders correctly in Microsoft Word. This is a regression bug as Khmer Unicode previously worked on Mac OS X El Capitan.

Sample Khmer text that renders incorrectly in Microsoft Word:
ស្រស់
ប្រើ

Please fix this ASAP as it makes Microsoft Word useless to those of us who use it with the Khmer language.

With the new update (15.38) - using the command key to select non-contiguous text is now disabled .! This is VERY frustrating .. after speaking to the support line - I have been told that "the developers are working on it" and I can only re-install the OLD update ... A very BIG hassle as all preferences and defaults get wiped .. anyone who is doing lots of Word processing will get very upset with this disabled feature

On Word 2011 at the bottom you could see the word count feature up until the cursor. This feature has now been removed and wastes a lot of time for anyone who needs to stick to tight word limits and needs to keep this under close surveillance, e.g. editors, students writing assignments, scientists writing journal articles, etc.

A thread here https://word.uservoice.com/forums/304942-word-for-mac/suggestions/9220053-word-count suggested you were reviewing the suggestion. 18 months has passed and nothing. I'm switching back to Word 2011 and sticking to it.

I understand that the auto recovery features has been removed from recent update to Word for Mac 2016, in the past when a file was forced to close, the recovered file would open with 'auto recovery file name' and give you the option of which version you want to restore and use, this feature has been removed, please please bring it back as the auto save and auto reocvery files are not working.

In older versions of Word I could search for a specific font if I knew the name. This made switching fonts much easier and quicker. Please bring this back on both the desktop and mobile apps.

Why do you need to make it entirely different from the PC version and make it a hassle everytime you need to switch between Word on PC and Word on Mac? It's incredibly frustrating and stupid. It's not even remotely close to being the same product. Rubish.

Since the September 2017 update, I can no longer select two separate words at the same time. It's very inconvenient. Thank you if you can fix that !

One of the most irritating things about working with Word for MAC for me has been finding the style I'm looking for in the styles palette. I wish there was a search box for styles (similar to the search box for finding text in the document). Every time I'm looking for a particular style, I have to browse down through a ton of styles. This is time-consuming and irritating.

In the Text Box tab on my Mac It doesn't give me the full Text Box Gallery.

The Mark as Final feature for PowerPoint and Word does not exist on Mac. It makes it difficult to get the same seamless experience and capabilities for PPT across systems. Please resolve this issue.

The selection highlight color (the color that appears when you select text, etc.) is significantly lighter than the color I chose in my Mac's System Preferences. It's so washed out that the default color options are barely visible, making it appear that selecting text is not functioning. But in the file selection menus (the one that comes up when you open Word or go to File > Open Document) the selection highlight color matches my System Preferences choice. Please make the selection highlight color in the document (when you're writing or editing) match the highlight color chosen in System Preferences.

I can remeber keyboard shortcuts being suggested when hovering over the function buttons in the past on my Word for Windows. Now the option is not available and it only shows you a one or two-word description of the button. Shortcut suggestions were a great instructional tool though!

Instead of new ideas, how about getting the old basic ones to work consistently?

How can MS Word in 2017 have performance issues with SLOW TYPING and PASTING from a webpage?

I know you must have smart people working at MS but please, fix the basics before trying new groundbreaking ideas

With love from a frustrated medical researcher who just wasted 2 hours researching how to get MS Word to allow me type like a normal person.

I saved a Word 2011 (Mac) .docx file to iCloud and my MathType equations came back uneditable. Copying and pasting a paragraph with equations from a different Mac .docx file caused all the pasted equations to be raised above the normal position. It's 2017, why can't MathType and Word function well together?

I had to restore my Mac desktop from a Time Machine backup, and (of course) I had to reactivate my employer-provided Office 365 subscription, which had previously allowed me to edit files, no problem. Now I get an error message saying something to the effect "your account doesn't allow editing on a Mac. Please contact your admin..."

These morons don't understand how to create a simple word processor. The open source ripoffs have long since surpassed the half assed, cut corners, poorly managed, extremely lazily programmed, piece of garbage.
