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.
@HotCakeX Thank you so much for your help! It's really helpful! But I have some more ideas:
①Please add keyboard shortcut to enter the Office, type the following orders in the search box:
"Ctrl W" to enter Word on Edge;
"Ctrl E" to enter Excel on Edge;
"Ctrl P" to enter PowerPoint on Edge
②Embedded videos, excel charts, PPT, audios on your Word documents like viewing a website!
Embedded audio like this below in Word. And accelerate speed from 0.3 to 3 times, 0.1 times per degree. And make sure we can arbitrarily adjust the playback progress; fast forward and fast backward; playlist functions; single loop and list loop...
The same as the embedded video. Why not use office's own videos sites instead of embedded from other sites.
③ Make sure all the Edge extension work well on your Word either. For instance, when you view a video or listen to an audio on your Word, the bilingual sub extension will work either. And when you read an article on your Word, make sure your dictionary extension on Edge will work either.
④Add publish button and email button on the Edge Word! Click publish button to publish your article on the website you want to publish. Click email button and type in your contact to email your Word document.
You're welcome!
the shortcuts can't happen, because they are already assigned to other tasks that belong to the browser, not a specific website (Word, Excel etc.), the shortcuts are reserved for browser tasks.
Ctrl + P = Printing
Ctrl + W = Tab closing
Ctrl + E = search in address bar
but there are already way too many ways to access them so that shouldn't cause any problem.
number 2 is a feedback for Word. if you have Word installed on your computer then it has feedback feature. you can also use this: https://word.uservoice.com/
number 3, need to be more specific with extensions, like which one is exactly not working.
number 4, there is no Edge Word. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Edge are 2 different products.
Word can be used as app on Android, IOS, Mac, Windows, or as a PWA in Word online, which is a website. it has its own set of features, for emailing, sharing etc.
you can install Word online as a PWA (progressive web app) and use it on Edge on any device (Windows, Mac, Linux, IOS, Android etc.)
some websites like Outlook or Twitter automatically offer them
and for the rest that don't automatically offer it, you can use this method:
