31 TopicsWord Web Version Text disappears after closing
I wrote text in a document, and it appeared to save successfully (indicated by the "Saved" icon). However, after closing the tab and reopening the document, the text had disappeared. In its place are blank spaces that preserve the exact formatting of the original text—for example, if the original text had a paragraph structure, the blank spaces repeat the same pattern. The text is no longer accessible. I've attempted to: Copy the disappeared text to another document or notepad Select it Change the text color However, no text appears in any of these actions—only the blank spaces are visible and selectable.35Views0likes1CommentSpellcheck problem

Hi, We're looking for a way to add a signature box where a user can draw or sign while the document is restricted. The user should be able to sign using Word Online, Desktop App, Tablet and Mobile. Please let us know the best way to achieve this.552Views0likes1CommentWord Online is the worst program I have ever used.
I understand that this is a free software, but the fact that I can't align two images next to each other at the same height is so bafflingly moronic it almost brings me to tears. Can you please remove this software offering and strop tricking people in to believing that this is a useable product. Microsoft sucks. We'll see how long this post lasts on the forum.1.2KViews2likes2CommentsFormatting and Using Footer in Word
I am creating process documentation that has one main document that lists out the different categories of processes and each category links to a different document that has different processes for that category. Each document has a footer that contains links and a page number. To create these, I used the Blank (Three Columns) layout, erased the first text area, typed in the text/links into the middle, erased the text in the third column, and then added a Page Number from the Current Position. I have a few questions here: When I open this document in OneDrive and in SharePoint, it opens up in my browser and the formatting is completely lost (first photo). I tried to recreate it using Word Online but I can only get it to look like the second picture. I would like everything inline rather than on a separate line. How do I achieve this so I can have a consistent look across both versions? Ideally, I would like the different documents to open in the same version of Word as the main document. For example, if I have the main document open in desktop Word, I want the other links to open in the desktop version, not in browser. Is there a way to configure the URL to do this? I want to be able to click the links in the footer without actually clicking into the footer and clicking them from there. Is that possible without saving this as a PDF? I've attached two documents that show an example of what I'm working with. The only main difference is that all the links are going to be linking to Word documents hosted on a SharePoint site rather than the dummy URLs I used. Any help is appreciated here.Solved413Views0likes3CommentsCannot Pin Online Word Document to Recent Files List in Word 2019
Hello! I am co-authoring a large document with several different users in Word. We started several years ago using Word 2013. I uploaded the document to our SharePoint so we could all edit collaboratively. I pinned the online document to the top of my recent documents list to make it easily accessible by just opening Word. This worked flawlessly for years, but my organization just made us update to 2019 and it seems as though I can no longer pin online/shared documents to the recent list! Non-shared files, even those stored on a network drive and not on my local machine, pin just fine. Is there a setting I need to tweak somewhere to get back this capability? Or was there a change made and this useful capability is no longer available? Thanks!1.5KViews1like2CommentsText in Word shifts to next page upon saving to PDF
