restore locked format painter functionality to Word 16
In previous versions of Word, when format painter was locked (double clicked) and you triple clicked a line to paste the formatting, the entire line would be selected and receive the formatting. Since upgrading to Word 16, the entire line is selected, but only the first word or letter clicked on receives the formatting. Drag to select works as intended, but is tedious and prone to mistaken selections. I've tested on multiple Macs. Worked on previous versions for years. (At least since 2001, maybe earlier.) This is a big part of my work flow and I'm really hoping to get…

Close application (e.g.) Word if last document is closed
Please close the whole application if the last document is closed. Please don't tell me that's default behaviour on Mac. This WAS the default and always was ****. These days 99% of all applications on Mac quit if there are no more open documents for the specific application.

A field code to display tomorrow's date
When creating a priority list for tomorrow, I would like to use a field code that's as simple as the DATE field code. I don't understand why (DATE + 1) doesn't work for this. It would be very useful for managers and planners. Thanks.

Microsoft Word freezes on Catalina 10.15
Microsoft Word freezes for 5 secs on MacOs Catalina 10.15 whenever something is highlighted or the cursor is changed from the touchpad. This is happening without a miss and is highly irritating. I expect Microsoft to at least test their products on new OS. Not the kind of quality expected when such high amount is spent on Microsoft Office.

Add Content Controls; Date Picker and Design Mode for Mac users
These controls are necessary functions for the Developer ribbon. It doesn't make sense why they are not available to Mac users!

Give an option to stop greying out header and footer to distribute to clients in .docx format. When collaborating, want logo to look normal.
While I understand Word is a tool for printing, we don't do that anymore, well, since 2008. We include a logo in our Headers, but is grayed out. Would be nice to have it in full color and not faded when sending to clients. Can't just send a PDF when we need them to work on the file. Would just be a nice option to have full control of the original file and get the boss from complaining to me how Word sucks so bad. I know it's not In-Design, but creating a Word doc without dimming the layered options…

Provide way to insert Style Separator.
There is no way to insert a style separator in Word for Mac. This cannot be a difficult function to implement, and it makes the Mac version unsuitable for editing highly structured legal documents. Thanks!

Formatting-only changes applied via a find–replace operation are not tracked in Track Changes
In Word 16.27 and 16.27, when a formatting-only operation (for example find italic and replace with bold italic) is applied in the advanced Find–Replace dialog, with Tracked Changes turned On, the change is not tracked. However, when the same change is applied manually, the change is tracked.
Please allow formatting changes applied via find–replace to be tracked using Tracked Changes.
