I had an older iMac that wasn't compatible with Microsoft Office 365. I bought a brand new iMac and downloaded the Microsoft 365 suite from my subscription. When I look at a Word document in the folder it is saved in, the font and formatting is different than when I open it in Microsoft 365.
This is very frustrating because I have spend a lot of money to use the new Microsoft 365. I'm particularly concerned because the most important document at the moment is my resume. I have spend hours on the phone and chat. The last gentleman that was attempting to assist me, suggested I post a discussion in this forum. I have yet to get the support needed, explanation or the issue resolved.
I look forward to hearing from the Community Team.
Thank you...

@DawnLeaYou should not need to pay for help, but it may be quickest. Be sure of price and a guarantee.
That said, Word Online and Word's Desktop Application are different programs, as is the Mac Desktop app. Even if the same document is opened in the same application on different computers, you can get different appearance.

The best way to have someone else see the same thing you are is to save to pdf and send the pdf.
If the recipient absolutely needs to have a Word format file, write back and I or someone else can give you some tips to minimize distortion.
