    • Correct Word Count

      The word count noted at the bottom of the word online document is incorrect. It counts words with apostrophes (e.g., "can't") as 3 words instead of 1. Please fix the Word Online word count feature. Thank you!

      • Glossary

        An automatic function to show a list of words with their explanations. The words you like to have in the glossary you mark with one of the templates. Later you just select to insert a glossary list and then you just have to fill in the definitions. You should be able to print this out as well.

        • "Word Automation Services"

          Word Automation Services as standalone library.

          File Conversion and manipulation tasks are very actual for now days, we have open xml sdk but it only support docx, we definitely need conversion library too.

          Most time we need just Word automation services, and for it we have to install Win Server, SQL Server, Share point. That too hevy for kind of task. Please make Word Automation Services as standalone product or library.

          • Word Online-Needs to work properly and have the same functionalities as regular Microsoft Word

            Word Online needs to be up to date. Everyone these days are using Google to share and make changes to documents at the same time. Microsoft word online, takes longer to load compare to google and theres less features.

            • With Cortana texts in Word dictate!

              I propose to replace the existing voice recognition by Cortana and thus dictate the text in Word easier. Justification: The current voice recognition for dictating texts still comes from Windows 7 even then I did not this used because me the speech recognition has never really understood. Cortana is different, here is the language much better understood, consequently it would be useful therefore in Word or Outlook to dictate texts and emails. I would be delighted if you could support my proposal, so that it is actually implemented.

              Ich möchte vorschlagen die bisherige Spracherkennung durch Cortana zu ersetzten und somit…

                • Support editing of Content Controls in Word Online

                  Currently the content of Content Controls is read-only in the document. Please add the functionality for a user to edit the content of content controls in Word Online.
                  In addition to that, events in Word-specific Javascript API would be needed to act on the change.

                                • Make Spacing the Same in Word Online and Word Local

                                  Formatting changes (particularly spacing) when moving from Word Online to Word local.

                                  For example, when adding a space between two paragraphs in Word Online, it doesn't convert to a space in Word local. The paragraphs end up conjoined.

                                  Vice versa, when you add a space in Word local between two paragraphs, two spaces are added in Word Online, making the online version very... spacey.

                                  Please let me know if you need anything from my end to help make this change. It would save me a lot of time. Thank you!

                                  Note: We are using Box.com to access Word Online.

                                      • Make word look like a book

                                        I think word should have an additional layout so that for young writers they can create drafts on book like pages.

                                        • make a app that allows you to type what you want and send to your computer when you are away

                                          if you were at work or school and you forgot you had a project, on your phone you can just type what you need and send it to your computer and print it when you get home( basically make a word app for your phone and you can send what you type anywhere)
