Markup Panel appearing with every word document. Comments column now in some weird thing.
Good day, I am so confused I do not even know how to explain all the issues. 1) Opened a word document today that I closed yesterday. Opens up with some thing called a Markup Panel. Go to review and select no markup. Fine for now, but then appears every time I reopen the document, and all other documents. 2) Up until today, my comments were nicely formatted in a column on the right side of the screen. Now they are in some thing called a "reviewing panel" which is terribly formatted and located in the wrong place until I drag to to the right side. Is this something I have caused or some Word Update (God, I hope it is not the latter.) 3) Also, the little indicators next to the lines where the comments are located are no longer present, so the only way I know there is a comment on that line is by clicking on the comment in the stupid "reviewing panel" How do I get back to what I had yesterday? Thanks so much for your help. DaveSolveddeebeeeffSep 15, 2025Copper Contributor73Views0likes3CommentsVisible Margins
As a heavy user of Publisher I am learning my way through Word in view of the upcoming cancelation of Publisher. One of the first things to strike me is the inability to make margins visible. Anyone found a way? I have tried text boundaries but it does not really help. I know Word is not a graphics package but I do not see much else within Office 365. A pity there is not another MS product to fill the gap! Or is there?SolvedHugh_BSep 12, 2025Copper Contributor94Views0likes4CommentsDifferent columns format within an existing column layout
Hi, As the picture show, I need to start with two columns text layout in a page and in the empty area on the 2nd column, make the remaining into 4 columns for text and small pictures. Is there a way to do that using columns layout? I tried to insert section break but section break will split and shorten my initial columnal text and leave the entire bottom area empty. I only need the right bottom for new columns. Is inserting a table the only way to achieve this? I prefer columns so that long text body will flow into the next column in the page. I really wanted to avoid using linked text boxes because the user of the template tends to mess them up.SolvedJennyT2070Aug 22, 2025Copper Contributor58Views0likes1CommentPartial Heading text to show up as cross-reference
Hi, I have set up heading accordingly using styles for TOC, e.g. Note 1 ABC Note 2 EFG Note 3 XQY In my body text in other pages, I need to write a sentence like " xxxxx (see note 1 and 3)." For 1 and 3 in the above sentence, I wish to be able to set a cross reference to Note 1 ABC and Note 3 XQY. But if I insert it as headings, it will appear as "see note Note 1 ABC and Note 3 XQY". I don't want to just set a link because the note numbering might change if we move it to other positions in the document. I need the sentence to auto- update the change in number when I update all fields in the document. How can I set it such that it will only show up only the "number" of the heading and still provide a hyperlink to go to the page when I convert the document into Pdf?SolvedJennyT2070Aug 19, 2025Copper Contributor39Views0likes2CommentsiCloud Outlook Contacts, folders, and WORD Mail Merge

We have a client that prepares their content using a Word template and fonts we've developed. They work at getting the justification they think is optimal. We then take the files and paginate them inserting the artwork they've provided. Up until Office 365 (yes, we delayed the move as long as possible for many unfortunate reasons) this has been a good system. But now with 365 I can't get Word to hyphenate at the bottom of a page or column. This, of course, causes trouble as we move text lines along during pagination because lines that previously did NOT end a page or column are now doing so, causing the word at the end of that line no longer hyphenate, causing the rest of the paragraph to re-hyphenate. Before I jump through hoops to add things to the template to help mitigate this, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Is there really no way to get Word to hyphenate across pages and columns?! Thanks for any insight.

I just updated my Windows OS (it's now 19045.6093) and I'm using Microsoft 365. For one reason or another, my curser keep on alternating from the regular pointer to the spinning wheel every half second. And it only does when inside a word document. Any fix to this?SolvedkwbcofficeJul 14, 2025Copper Contributor640Views2likes11CommentsGrammar Correction Glitch.
Is Word just expressing a grammatical preference here? In word, type in the following sentence: He lay there, his eyes open. Then hit enter. It will prompt you to change the comma to a semi-colon. Let it do that. It produces "He lay there; his eyes open." It wants to correct the semi-colon to a comma. Here, I'll show you in this .gif that I captured: Does the same happen for you?SolvedNarratorMay 31, 2025Copper Contributor77Views0likes2Comments
