They do work. I rolled back to 13801.20360 and have turned updates off. Weirdly, the comments dropdown menu took a while to go back to normal but eventually did.
ramccaskill ROTFL Wordperfect! Indeed! Sometimes I even miss the days of Locoscript, total control back then at least. It's this interference without consent that masquerades as improvement that really gets me. Although no doubt the EULA permits that. If MS made cars, we'd have gone to bed with a blue, left-hand drive and woken up to find it now pink and right-hand drive! Seriously, I am all for progress but MS seems consistently to be trying to make thing easier for simple users (fair enough) and harder for more proficient users who actually pay for their software (not on!).
KarineJ Thanks for the L2R heads up, no surprise it would be so I guess, as all formatting control there has vanished.
MoMaier I stayed with it far too short a time to determine pen issues to be honest. 2019/20 I had mega pen issues (2-in-1 here) due to something wrong between Office updates and Windows, or whatever, much like most of the Surface users. That also caused me to revert to an earlier edition. I might be considered a dinosaur in that handwriting recognition works so well that I have not changed my workflow from writing to typing so pen use is critical to me. But I frequently sketch in comments.
It wouldn't be so bad if they rolled these things out when fully functioning but their own rollout notice states some functionality isn't ready yet. So why the heck remove a fully functioning feature, albeit lacking a few things, to 'update' it with another with even less functionality? Like 'upgrading' to a pink, right-hand car with only 3 wheels!
CurtShannon Exactly that!!
