2020-02-29T03:09:42+00:00 How do I uninstall this update?
I want my version of Word back to the way it was.
Specifically, I want to be able to "Review" + Alt-S. Not "Review" C1 (entire document).
You force these useless updates on us.
Along the way, you remove features that people - like me - actually use and rely on.
Stop it.
