Track Changes icon in Ribbon changed from switch to dropdown (with no update)
I am using Office 365 on a Mac, and use the Track Changes function in Word a lot. Yesterday, the Track Changes icon in the Ribbon changed from the usual green "switch" icon to a page-and-pen icon wit...
This is yet another of those not-user-friendly changes that can't be changed back. As an editor, the green toggle switch was incredibly useful largely because it was so obvious visually. I am constantly toggling Track Changes on or off (with keyboard shortcut) and could instantly see the status. Now with the grayed or not grayed icon, it's not so immediately obvious, and throughout the day it slows me down a lot.
I at least managed, after an hour, to get the Track Changes icon to show on the far left of the ribbon. AND to turn off that ridiculous Editor and revert to the old Spelling function. But sheesh, Microsoft, people are working here and you don't always make it easier.
PLEASE bring back the green switch.
