Could we have an event to subscribe for document changes for Word. There is a possible work around is to use Bindings for the content control and add a data changed event to the binding (this will work across all platforms). I'd be greate to have an easy way to do so.
Expected behavior:
Office.context.document.addHandlerAsync(Office.EventType.DocumentChanged, ...);

We have introduced paragraph event and please see if this can solve your problem: Word JavaScript preview APIs - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn
I literally have no idea why this is not provided from the very start. I mean it's obivious... As a developer you want to listen on changes to react upon. Same thing with keybindings to enhance the user experience.

This would be a great extension
