I see no recently used list! The program must be pretty different. But don't you find that the symbol box uses too much of the page. It could be helpful to leave it open, but it's too much of an obstacle on my small screen, so I have to open it each time I need a symbol. Also, I didn't mention, usually you need two clicks on the letter (with diacritical) and then one click on insert--that's three, and then you lose your place on the page. I'm hoping Microsoft will notice this clumsiness.
