Ok - I just replied to you with updates on why the Ink to Text pen is missing. It has to do with your Office install being a "semi-annual" update. The design for semi annual is to provide a slower rate of change for business and customers. Features are rolled out much slower.

In the case of the Ink to Text Pen, it won't show up in a semi-annual update (similar to the install you have) until January 2025.

Sorry about this information, but hope it helps bring clarity on why it this feature is not yet available!
