An aside, in my opinion, Word 2007 was the worst version of Word since Word 2000, definitely the worst of the ribbon versions. We can only work with what is available, but Word 2010 is far superior. I think 2007 was essentially a beta version that marketing pressed into release. I bought it but uninstalled it from all production machines in my office.

I do not know that this has anything to do with your problem, though.


The subscription version 365 is interesting and has good features but the constant updates can be problems in production capacity. I am on the monthly non-insider update program and usually things get worked out before they reach that release. In a corporate environment, I would probably be on the semi-annual update schedule.

2010 is good and stable but does not have all the bells and whistles.
