Word Online (Web version) auto deletes text
I've been fighting this issue for almost 2 years now. Unfortunatly, I've just gone to google Docs when I need to create a word document.

And I thought I was the only one to face this issue. I have also reported to Microsoft, but they did not tried to fix yet after many years.

You should be able to use the mobile apps instead of the browser versions of Word, Excel etc.

The mobile apps are fine if you are using your phone traditionally. However, when productivity is actually needed some (like myself) use the phone in DEX mode (desktop like environment. When using the mobile apps in this mode where you can use an actual keyboard and mouse, they are REALLY bad because it is only optimized for touch and makes it a huge pain to use. The web version , however, is optimized for keyboard and mouse. But the issues described above pop up becaise the web versions aren't domt like mobile browsers even when you request the desktop mode. Kind of sucks from a company that wants to move products to cloud versions.
