context menu in Word 2016
see my question from October 3, 2024 I still can't solve the problem. Can someone help me? I have a problem with the context menu in word 2016. When I select the text and click the right mouse button, the context menu opens, while the first, separate item "search in the menus" (picture 1.) appears to me, while behind it is a large space. If I want to find other items in the popup window, I have to start scrolling in it (Figure 2.). Only after the window is fully rolled do I see other items of the pop-up window (Figure 3.). It's interesting that this doesn't happen when you click on the image, it only shows up incorrectly when you click on the highlighted text. It's quite frustrating and it's weighing on me. It was working fine until recently and just recently it changed arbitrarily. I am asking for advice on how to correct this deficiency. Thank you.
Error with cross references in track changes when exporting to PDF
I have a document with cross-references and the track changes activated. When I export it to PDF it marks all cross references as changed, when they have not been changed. I have attached two images of an example of the error. The first one is the document before exporting it and the second one after. It can see that, despite not having made any changes, cross-references are marked. ¿Does anyone know how can I fix this issue? Thank you
Word Online - Rename Document Box - shows different, for different users !?!?
Within the Word-Online screen, some users see a 'down arrow' (chevron) and then a LARGE box for the file name. But - other users don't see this. WHY !?! What is the reason for these TWO different modes/functions ?? Is it based on a license ? BOTH of these are the same document - same library. After creating a NEW file. Two different users - both using CHROME.In Word for Mac, I don't see a File tab to the left of the Home tab
I was looking for how to do something in Word and the Youtube videos describe selecting the File tab which their video shows to be left of the Home tab, but my Word has Home as the first tab with nothing to the left of it. I've installed the latest MS Word but still no File tab. I'd love to learn how to retrieve it but also why did it ever disappear? Thanks in advance. Brian
Paragraphs and Page Breaks in Online Word keep breaking and displacing up or down after I save my do
This is probably a long shot, but I’ve been losing my mind trying to figure out how to fix this. I have to use Online Word for several courses I’m taking, and whenever I’m writing a paper in it, I usually have no issues in it. However, when I come back to a previously saved document, I notice that most of my paragraphs have been displaced either up or down, or page breaks that I’ve put in have completely broken. This has actually caused me to lose points on a paper or two, and I had to explain to my instructor that this is a problem I’ve been having for awhile. I have no idea how to fix this, and I’m trying to provide my instructors with a flawless paper that doesn’t have any formatting issues. If anyone can help out, I’d appreciate it. Thanks
Track Changes Colors for "By Author" -- Feature request
In documents edited by multiple authors, I keep the "By Author" colors on to be aware of which author did what. That is fine. But each time I open the document, the colors change including mine. My request: Let all others colors change. But I want to have the color of my choosing as "my current color". For instance, my favorite color is "classic blue". So I want that my edits should appear in "classic blue" while all others' edits could be any color(s). Is there a way to modify my Word365 to do that? If not, I want to suggest it a feature request. (PS. This is my first ever post on this forum. Seems like a great place!) 😊

There is some weird interaction with tables and muti-level lists that I run into intermittently. It has happened twice tonight. Essentially, I have a List Bullets styles 1-5 which indent in an orderly, style-conforming way when I press alt-shift-L/RArrow. I followed the tutorial that always gets linked to on forums like these for defining this. These list bullets left-indent in increments of 0.25". So List Bullet = 0", List Bullet 2 = 0.25", List Bullet 3 = 0.5", etc. When I am inserting and (un)indenting these inside tables, eventually I will notice that the indents aren't looking right. I will check the styles and (in this instance), List Bullet 2 is suddenly 0.47". At no point have I deliberately altered a style definition. In fact, I have "mark formatting inconsistencies" turned on, and will periodically select anything that deviates from rigid style conformity and clear direct formatting at both the paragraph and character level. I am really trying to do Word right. I can't even begin to understand why these styles would redefine themselves, but I'm somewhat convinced it has something to do with tables. It seems that whenever I use anything that involves nesting of some kind within a table, my document becomes "haunted" and nondeterministic. I long ago found out to NEVER use style headings in tables, as that seems to be even worse at filling my document with poltergeists. Why would my list bullet styles ever, ever redefine themselves like this? I can handle some MS quirks if I can select everything and hit ctrl-q and ctrl-space to restore order. But I don't know how to approach this.
