Re: Autocorrect "Replace text as you type" no longer working in comments
Does AutoCorrect still work in the main body of the document? I suspect that the so-called modern comments are preventing AutoCorrect from working in comments, but I don't have a copy of Word for Mac at the moment so I can't test this hypothesis myself.Re: Word document printing issue
If the document contains multiple sections, printing a range of pages requires a specific syntax. Page numbers must be combined with section numbers as follows: p#s#-p#s# For assistance with the syntax, you may want to display Section numbers as well as Formatted Page Numbers on the status bar in Word. To add those numbers to the status bar, right-click the status bar and select the corresponding options on the context menu.

Which version of Word are you running? Here, I am not seeing a problem grouping more than five objects in version 2509 (Microsoft subscription, running under Windows 11). If you have Word for Windows, you could try starting Word in application Safe mode and see if that works around the problem (temporarily, for the session running in Safe mode). For more information, have a look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-office-apps-in-safe-mode-on-a-windows-pc-dedf944a-5f4b-4afb-a453-528af4f7ac72 .Re: Captions for images, including sub-captions
Remember that you can post feedback using Help > Feedback in Word and/or via the portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/fb6d67e3-301c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472 . Microsoft will read all the feedback they receive, but don't count on getting a personal reply (even if you leave your e-mail address).Re: Table Properties for table inserted into Word document
That will not work because the table inserted are linked to a database via another application addin. The rows and columns are dependent on what type of data are being extracted. If some columns and rows are missing due to preset number of rows/columns, it will only cause confusion to the users who are inserting the tables. I think you will have to use a macro that sets the width to the desired value.Re: Table Properties for table inserted into Word document
To save table dimensions, including row height and table width, you can create an AutoText entry which you base on a "sample table" in a document. For example, you can have a sample table with unspecified row heights, table width set to 100% (or a fixed value, if you prefer that). Select it and create your AutoText. To reuse the format, insert the AutoText. (Remember that the AutoText stores content as well, meaning that you get a specific number of rows and columns, but you can add or remove those as desired after you have inserted the AutoText.) P.S. Word supports table styles, but note that those won't let you save dimensions as part of the style.Re: Word on iPhone
According to the support article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/check-your-spelling-in-word-on-your-mobile-device-8df5f8db-1c14-4de1-b192-83bdba3577eb#id0ebd=office_for_ios, what you can do is turn spellchecking on or off. There seems to be no separate option for grammar checking.Re: Page colour fill effects option missing
You may already have considered this, but some options are different in Word for Mac, compared to Word for Windows. If you have used Word for Win previously, the option is definitely present on that platform. Are you sure that fill effects are supported for for page colors in Word for Mac?Re: Simply cannot delete a section break. It is impossible. Cannot be done. Please prove me wrong.
The challenge with section breaks is that each section break stores the formatting of the section preceding the break. This includes page setup (page orientation, margins, etc.), newspaper columns, headers/footers. Any section break that you delete may result in loss of formatting. For "everything" about Word sections, have a look at https://wordmvp.com/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm .Re: Microsoft office 2007 stopped support - lifetime key
Office 2007 has been out of support since 2017 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/microsoft-office-2007 ). It should still run, for as long as the hardware and operating system supports it. I don't know why it isn't working for you. Which version of Windows do you have? You can't upgrade Office 2007 to a new version. If you want to purchase a newer perpertual license, there is Office Home 2024 or Office Home & Business 2024. Only the latter includes the classic version of Outlook. Both versions will run on one computer (PC or Mac) for one user. None will work with mobile devices.
