I work with a document some others has created. In the document Enter has been jused quite many times to create/start a new line. When I use Backspace or Delete to remove the line and tie the sentencens together and then add a space between the sentences, then the cursor jumps all the way to the end of the document. 

When a turn off Track Changes, then it does not happen. I would assume this to be an error/flaw i MS Word and wonder if it is a workaround for the issue or if it would be fixed. I need to have Track Changes enabled.

    Another professional editor chiming in! Same problem. In addition, sometimes when I make a new comment nothing appears on the screen. I have to save and reopen the document to see my comment box. Wasting huge amounts of time!

    Exactly. It's time to start telling the world that MS Word cannot be trusted to edit a document.

    Law offices and investment houses that handle long documents for M&As should be thrilled with this news.
