Word having trouble with 'Find in document'
I am currently editing a long document (around 70K words). Using the search function in MS Word to get to the section I need to edit is hugely valuable. Yet lately, Word fails around 50% of the time to 'Find' the word or phrase I enter in the search window, even though I know 100% it is there. Any ideas how to make this work better?
Page numbering woes
I am working on a lengthy word document. I just used the "insert page number" function in an attempt to number the pages (more than 400). Only page 1 showed a page number (i.e., 1). Any suggestions as to what might be wrong and how I can solve this problem and have all pages numbered? Thanks, in advance.
select multiple pictures with pointer to format
Pictures on a blank document can be selected 1-by-1 using ctrl+mouse pointer. In this way the Shape Format menu appears and I can change outline and other things. If I use ctrl+A or the pointer itself, the Text Format menu appears and I cant format the pictures. Is there a way to select multiple pictures with ctrl+A or the pointer? Not sure if Shape format can be pinned to the menu bar.How to insert a master foot note in many other word documents

And then "Insert as a link" the footer MS file but there is nothing that has been imported... I don't get it. thanks, CC
Word will not print, all other apps print fine
When i print with word (office 365), the printer does not print and i can see the file in the print spooler for a few seconds then dissapears. All other apps can print fine, Edge, excel, chrome, etc. no problem, only with word. So far, i've repaired and uninstalled/reinstalled office 365 and i have erased the normal.dotm file without success. I've also noticed that printing to "microsoft print to PDF" does create a PDF file but the file is unreadable by any pdf viewer. I suspect something wrong with word but where? Thanks. Stephane
MS Word keeps randomly pasting from the clipboard when editing a document (on Macbook Pro 2020)
I'm editing a word document. On a regular basis, the last contents of the clipboard gets pasted into the word document, without me asking it too. For ages I though I was somehow hitting an incorrect key, but I have typed very very carefully and it still "just happens , sometimes more than a couple of times a minute Its really annoying! This is the second Macbook Pro this has happened on. It does not happen with any other applications, which maybe points to it being a problem with MS word? The MS Office suite is up to date (word version 16.81 24011420)
Print area issue
I have an issue with a customised document size (21cm X 10cm) when printing. When I go to print preview the print area is a reduced size of the document (I can only view and print half of the document). I've used the same document for years and it hasn't occurred before. I've tried creating a new document of the same size and the same thing happens with the new doc. It's as if some print area setting has been accidently altered but I cannot locate anything.

Hi, I often refer to other parts of my document, and for that I enjoy using the Split view feature, to see different parts of my document at once. This feature has a clever function, which automatically chooses which one of the views to close, and which one to expand, based on which was last interacted with. Issue is, this feature works the other way around, always closing the window which I was working in, forcing me to find that place again by scrolling. I tried looking around the internet and I believe this is a bug (with a rather simple solution). If it could be fixed, I'd be grateful, thanks.Auto Detect Headings Permanently OFF Word iOS
Auto detect headings in my iOS Word document is now permanently grayed out. i says, “auto detect is off because it did not detect any headings“. However, I had created two new headings weeks ago using the same heading style as previously created headings and the new ones were not detected. I think the fix for the bug where auto detect was permanently ON has created this new problem? I would like to be able to have headings auto detected when I use the same style as previously created headings. This is how it always worked before AND I was able to toggle Detect Settings on and off to force heading detection.
