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
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.

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.
Incorrect closing of the Split arrangement feature
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.
Adding / editing template groups
Hi there, I'm hoping someone here can help as I've not had much luck investigating this so far. I have noticed that when selecting 'New' in Word there are three groups of templates available: Office Custom Ecoscape Australia (this is the name of our company). Everyone in our company seems to have the same three options. I would like to put all our regularly used templates in the 'Ecoscape Australia' group so that everyone can access them. I'm not sure how or when this template group was set up, but it currently has a single template in it which is outdated. Please see the screenshot below for clarification. Does anyone know how I can edit this group, and where this template is stored? Am I able to add /remove groups of templates? Any help would be much appreciated.How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View
I have a high resolution wide screen monitor. Every time I open a Word document in full screen, it switches to the Multiple Pages view (typically 2 pages, side by side). I hate this view! I can't read 2 pages at a time. I always want a single page view. Does anyone know if there is a way to stop Word changing to this view? I am using Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2202 Build 16.0.14931.20128) 64-bitMS word indenting numbered list more than usual
Usually when I start out a numbered list in a Word document (desktop version), it indents about one tab indent (sorry, I don't know what it's called), from the left margin of the document, however recently it's been indenting nearly 3 tab indents from the left margin of the document. Usual: Unusual: Any help on this would be wonderful, as having to constantly move back the indents is a pain especially when the lecture is going by really fast.
