🚀 Oh, finally, Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a has been resurrected and slapped onto x64, because who doesn't crave vintage word processing with a side of extra research features? 😂 GitHub's latest adventure in digital archaeology might just be the solution to a problem no one had, but at least now you can write in style like it’s 1989—on your 2023 machine! 🤦♂️

Microsoft can apparently spend $billions$ on Co-Pilot, but Word users still have to put up with this truly awful form if they want to compare two documents.
I reckon it's been like this for 20 years, probably 30?
Fixed dropdown lists that would have been OK in the days of 8 character filenames. Containing some random list of recent filenames with any useful versioning truncated and unreadable.
No attempt to anticipate you might JUST want to compare the two documents you have open.Just had to get off my chest, been boiling away for decades now...
But don't worry Stupid Ribbon(TM), you're still the one I hate the most.

How Proprietary Vendors Make Open Standards Look Broken
Proprietary formats, rendering choices, and font restrictions don’t just create interoperability failures, they make open alternatives appear unreliable and keep institutions locked in.
A document created in #MicrosoftWord and sent to a colleague who uses #LibreOffice. The colleague opens the file. Something is wrong: a table has shifted, the text has reflowed, a font looks different, the page breaks have moved.

Yes but #computers were fun in those days.
Everybody was either head over heels about what you could do with #Lotus123 or writing their own #Basic programs, or sometimes #Pascal, at home during the weekend.
I worked in a consulting engineering office and we would all get together on Mondays to show off our weekend creations!
Later, when #MicrosoftWord came along you could secretly program a friend’s computer to do crazy things when a common QA phrase was typed. For instance ISO9000 could be replaced with.” hey guys! I brought all my goldfish to work this morning in my underpants.!”

I wrote a small VBA macro for Microsoft Word that highlights full paragraphs based on selected text.
It finds occurrences of a selected word/phrase and highlights the entire paragraph containing them.source:

“…as #MicrosoftWord took off in popularity and quickly established itself as the dominant word processor, we saw the rise of the .doc #fileformat. This was an exponential increase in complexity from what came before, which made sense because suddenly #wordprocessors were becoming "everything tools"—not just typing, but layout, images, revision tracking, embedded objects, and whatever else Microsoft could cram in there.”

Trying to play around with #Copilot in #MicrosoftWord, but it failed immediately because... I don't have a default printer installed. 💀
Turns out, #Word still relies on a printer driver to determine page layout. Because of that, Copilot claimed it couldn't access the document at all.

Alright #MicrosoftWord experts I need your help because an annoyance has returned. I don't mind if Word corrects a misspelled word but as I'm typing, every 15 seconds or so Jaws For Windows keeps trying to say the word suggestion or something like it and it's driving me mad. There used to be a way to stop this nonsense but my brain can't remember how one does it.

Hey y'all. What's up?
I’m trying to install Microsoft Word on Windows but running into issues. Downloaded Microsoft 365 from the official site, opened the EXE, and it keeps saying “could not install.” Anyone run into this before or know a fix?
Also open to alternatives for writing that sync well between phone and computer if Word keeps acting up.
