Why not combine Office(Word Excel PPT), Outlook, Skype, Microsoft community all into Edge.
Hi,
multiple concepts and products are being mixed up together in here. (Office products, Tech community, Edge). in this community Edge developers can only change Edge browser. not Office products nor the Tech community. they all have their own community.
Microsoft Tech community recently got video hub to present technical videos about Microsoft products in one place
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/video-hub/ct-p/VideoHub
there are 100+ communities for each product if you click on "community hub" at the top of every page, and choose " browser all community hubs"
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Communities/ct-p/communities
Quora, Medium etc. they are general purposes Q&A sites. Microsoft Tech communities only revolve around specific Microsoft products.
in order to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office products fast and quickly, there are a Lot of ways.
in the New tab page in Edge (personal Microsoft account):
again, in the new tab page (Microsoft 365 subscribers):

you also pin Office.com to favorites, Pin it to Start menu or Dock in Mac, Pin it to Taskbar etc. for faster access. if it is pinned to favorites, when you type in the address bar: "Microsoft Word etc.", you will be able to go to Word online quickly.
but these are different than the Microsoft Tech Community's built-in post editor. Word can't be used in here. because Word is for an entirely different purpose, the tools in Tech community post editor are for making and editing a post, blog etc.
and forums on the Internet all have these tools more or less, it's pretty normal.
For emailing Word, Excel, PowerPoint to a colleague, if you are using online version of them, then they are automatically saved to OneDrive and you can share them with anyone quickly
and you also have all Office apps here
if you aren't using online version, then in the Office package you have Outlook 365 or 2019 installed, everything is connected and that's another story.
Can't add more content to my previous comment so I'm just going to put it here
this is what happens you pin Word to favorites, also applies to Excel, PowerPoint etc.
