Docx - Notepad-Chinese characters
Just recently I had to have a drive replaced and windows 11 was installed. Ever since then whenever I create a Word document, which is now the docx format, I have to open it on notepad. The problem is Notepad only opens with Chinese characters. This happens with any Word document. Does anyone know why tis has started happening and is their a fix? It did not happen with my previous Windows 11 installation. Thank you
Can't maximize word 365 files after being minimized to the taskbar
When I minimize multiple word 365 files to the taskbar and then try to maximize again, I can't. If I click on word or hover the mouse over it on the taskbar, it shows the multiple files briefly and minimizes itself again. I configured the Word executable to maximize without success. If there is only 1 file open that is minimized, I can maximize it with no problem. I can also bring up the file by doing alt-tab. Any thoughts?
Word hiding comments on text with tracked changes
This is an extremely frustrating bug that I've been experiencing for maybe six months or more in Microsoft 365. If I add a comment to text that I've changed via track changes (e.g. I've bolded it), the comment will be irretrievably hidden, though the commented-on text will still he highlighted, suggesting there is a comment there; it just can't be seen. This doesn't happen with all changes, though font changes seem to be the biggest culprit. It's annoying when I forget it's there, take a couple minutes writing a comment explaining changes for a client, only to see it disappear and not be able to even retrieve the text I wrote. I hope there's a fix coming for this soon?
Weird frame around paragraph in Word
Hello ! About two months ago, frames appeared around every paragraph in all my Word documents. I have attempted to remove them using the following menus: margins, borders, grid and rulers, spacing between paragraphs, and other formatting elements, but they persist. They remain invisible when printing or exporting as a PDF, yet they appear in both the page view and online display modes. I work on Word mac 16.92 on a 2021 Macbook Pro. See the attached pictures for an example. the frame is already there before I start writing. Could you kindly help me figure out how to remove the frames around every paragraph?Can't maximize word 365 files after being minimized to the taskbar

Hyperlinks no longer copying out of Word
Within the last month or so I have found that embedded hyperlinks in a Word document (on desktop PC) are being lost when I copy text into another program. The links revert to text only in WordPress and between the desktop Word document and pasting into Word Online. The only way I have found to get round this is to open the document in Word Online - in which case the hyperlinks stay intact - and then copy from there into WordPress (or anything else). This is not ideal and I wondered if this was a known issue or there is a setting in Word which is causing this to happen. It feels like the copy function in Word is set to only copy text and not the links (or formatting for that matter). I wondered if I had triggered a setting that has caused this to happen but when searching in settings and tabs (or forums) I have not found anything obvious. Does anyone have the same issue?Can't maximize word 365 files after being minimized to the taskbar

After I minimize multiple word 365 files to the windows 11 taskbar, I can't bring them back up by clicking on word. When I click on word on the taskbar or hover with my mouse on word, it will briefly show the documents and minimize itself again. I configured the word executable to maximize. If I only have one word document open, it will maximize when I click on it. The only way I can access to the files is by doing alt-tab Any thoughts?
