Not so unimportant... can't see the time, the. battery...

and MS support told me to contact the community support...

So I guess there's no support for this version (LTSC 2021)

Wait and see !

Hi JulienDFr!

Exactly! We can not see time and battery. It is really annoying ….

But, there is an important detail: as far as I can remember, although I am not absolutely sure, Monterey 12.0.1 did not have this issue with Word. Maybe, with Monterey 12.2, this issue could be fixed. So, we have to wait ….

  Hi edgerhuang,
  
  I have already updated to Monterey 12.5 and still nothing …. the bug remains here. Too bad …. When MS will fix this?

    I suppose I still have the problem. I turned the option off since few months and in "windowed screen" (not only for the Word issue, the bar was still visible when I watched movies in full screen mode).
    I still hope MS will patch the issue. I will maybe turn the option back on.

Maybe, I just bought MS Office....
I sent a message through the app to MS Office
Hope it will be fixed soon !

  I have just updated to Monterey 12.2.1 and Office 365 ver. 16.58, but the issue remains.
