Very opinionated comments in this article

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments3 people in discussion

There are numerous sections here that read like a diatribe, with no sources given and very opinionated comments. This is particularly true in "Layout Issues" and "Issues with Technical Documents." I recommend the sections be rewritten to have a more NPOV. Andacar (talk) 03:37, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Layout Issues paragraph is also outdated from my point of view. It describes problems of pre-2010-versions, which are not interesting to the Wikipedia reader.

The paragraph Issues with Technical Documents really reads like a revenge edit of an angry word user. It would need better sources, showing that the frustration is a widespread problem worth noting here.

I would suggest deleting both paragraphs. WikiBrendy (talk) 12:18, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've added requests for citation to Microsoft Word § Issues with technical documents. It had one external link to a Microsoft Community forum post, which I turned into a reference. Guy Harris (talk) 19:18, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
