I have been using MS Word 2010 for a long time; just purchased MS Word 2021 about 6 months ago. In 2010 I could mouse over specific changes in a doc and a balloon would pop up showing who made the ch...

I believe this has been already reported to Microsoft. You can report it, too, using the Feedback facility in Word; see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-365-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11.

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your response. Question - as an MVP do you have an elevated line of communications with Microsoft. I just would like to know if it is a bug or if this feature is not included in Word 2021. If it is a bug, then it may be worth the time to try and see if Microsoft ever plans to fix it, but if the feature is not available in 2021 then my efforts would just be a waste of time. It has been my experience that Microsoft hardly ever responds. We have been trying to for months to get a response from Microsoft about some new bugs in Skype and all we get are meaningless stock answers. It seems Microsoft is focused on Bing AI these days and everything else is just getting neglected.... If you have a direct line of communication, could you kindly pass on my issue? Thank you, Jim

This has been fixed in the most recent release of the subscription version (version 2304, Word part of Microsoft 365):
When I tested this earlier in my version of Word 2021, it appears that it wasn't fixed, though. 😞

As an MVP, I am able to forward bug reports to the Office team; that is correct.
I think this has already been done, with this particular issue, but I can ask again, and find out if there will be a fix for the perpetual licenses (Office 2021).
