I do encounter other 'issues' with Word 2016, but these 2 are the ones I face daily, and that really waste me the most timeĭo any of you Word experts have any ideas how to help fix either one? (If needed, I can upload a video/screencapture of this).

Why oh why?īoth of these make the simple act of resizing images (which takes seconds in Word 2003) to take me minutes and minutes in Word 2016! This one I really don't get! But it happens every time! I try to resize an image - I 'grab' the corner with my cursor and start to make it larger, and it immediately 'flips' to the reverse image.

So the second I take hold of the corner of the image with my cursor to resize it, it immediately 'jumps' to a much larger size.(or).Ģ- It immediately flips to the reverse image. However in Word 2016, whenever I 'catch' the corner of the image to resize it, it does one of 2 (very annoying!) things:ġ - It jumps in size. I just 'drag' the corners, to make the image larger or smaller. In every other version of Word, it is very easy to re-size images.

This is a weird one, and a bit hard to explain, but it happens to me every time, and I do a lot of documents with images, so I have to try to figure this out! Is there any way to revert back to the (what I consider to be 'normal') bulk way of doing un-does in W-2016?Ģ) Resizing of images in W-2016 is extremely hard for some reason. Meaning you can un-do a lot of stuff, in a short amount of time.īut in Word 2016, I can only 'undo' character by character, making it extremely SLOW to go through. How to do 'bulk' un-does like every other Word version? In every other version of word, if you decide to undo a bunch of stuff, word does 'bulk' un-does. I've actually re-installed Word 2003 again, just so I have a 'baseline' of what was easy in the past (and now find problematic in 2016)ĭo any of you have insights into the following 'issues' I seem to find in Word 2016 (that I never did in any of the previous versions)?ġ) In W-2016 the undo button only does one character at a time. I joined because I've finally decided to take action and figure out the extremely annoying issues that I face with Word 2016, which I never faced with any other version of Word.
