Group objects
Hi, I am a longtime user of Word. I have just transferred to a new and stronger laptop; however, when trying to group more than 5 items Word stops responding and sometimes crashes. I disabled all add-ons, hoping it would help. Any ideas? I usually insert the figure in a table and just group the callouts and text boxes with arrows.
Word document printing issue
I am unable to print certain pages in a long, highly formatted Word document while other pages print fine. I am not getting any error messages, just nothing showing up in the print queu. I tried to copy the content into a blank Word worksheet but it doesn't fix the issue. I've spoken to both Level 1 and Level 2 technicians at MS and the best suggestions they can offer is to paste the entire document into a new file with basic text format and then reformat everything from scratch. In addition to being a very cumbersome workaround, there is no guarantee that the file won't print again after doing that. Plus, this "solution" doesn't address the underlying issue if/when this occurs again with a different file. Anybody have similar issues and/or suggestions?
Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" no longer working in comments
I'm a college English professor. I've been using MS Word's Reviewing features for years (decades?) to offer feedback on student essays. I mainly make bubble comments in the margins of the document (CMD-OPT-A or Insert > Comment). Until recently, my Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" feature was working in the comments (my fumbly fingers mistype things like "differnet" and I've even added some shortcuts like "dangmod" to "dangling modifier"). But as of maybe a few months ago, my comments no longer autocorrect. I haven't changed any settings, and the function works in the body text of the document. I have a 2023 Macbook Pro running Sequoia 15.7.1, and I'm using MS Word for Mac Version 16.101.3. Anybody have the solution for this? I've spent years training myself to use MS Word's Reviewing so I can be very efficient with my time (I know all the keyboard shortcuts, etc.), but if autocorrect no longer works, I'll probably just switch to Google Docs or something. Thanks for any help you can give.
How to stop MS Word from saving doc and pdf files to the cloud
I'm on Windows 10 and Office 365. When I hit F12 on an MS Word file and save it as a .docx file or a .pdf file in a OneDrive folder: (1) the file does not immediately appear in the folder. (2) when it does appear, after more than 5 minutes later, it's on the cloud and it has be downloaded. (3) saving has become a lot slower. I'm not sure when I first noticed this but it has been a while. I've gone to File > Options > Save > Unchecked "Show additional places for saving, even if sign-in may be required". How do I prevent that? It slows everything down.
Word on line
Prezados bom dia, Estou com problemas no uso do aplicativo, pois ao realizar o documento no programa no computador e subir ele no on drive ele abre desconfigurado on line, com modificaçoes de margens, fontes e ao abrir de novo no programa ele fica desconfigurado também. Estou tendo o retrabalho de ajustar a formatação do documento várias vezes. Além de não conseguir usar recursos on line como referenciar a legenda da foto e indice para poder só mexer no arquivo on line.

I have a document where I have tables, figures, and cross-reference tables, figures links to text. Currently, I and my team checks manually if all the links working and going to correct destinations. Such as when click on table 1 it takes it to table 1. This is extensive review and many times we miss it. Can I get help to create VBA code/run macro to check if all the links are working? is it even possible? Add-in tool? thanks and looking forward to have some solution.Complete Form for various data
I need to create a form to be filled by users; the form should contain areas to add text and other areas to add photos, with a selection and dropdown lists. The form should have restrictions on the word count (a counter of the total words written and the remaining to reach the limit should exist on each tab beside the head of the tab or at the end after the final line), the photo size, and the format. I have tried to make a sample, and this is my best (edit pass is: 123): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Y1xjT8rCTEVFBijYS5wTGWSjewSjUKNAPmNaN3D7Qc/edit?usp=sharing I can't remove the highlighting on the text area and can't control or keep the document font and format when pasting from an external source (the current format is corrupted by pasting), and I can't even add the written words counter. Any advice is appreciated in this regard ...
Captions for images, including sub-captions
Good morning, I’m using Office 365 (Office 2019 at home). I wanted to ask if it’s possible in Word to create captions for images, including sub-captions, with all the corresponding indexes reflecting the hierarchy. I mean something similar to the photo below.
