"We are sorry, but this feature is deprecated" (Smart Lookup on Word for Mac)

Thanks for this, you’re much more helpful than Microsoft, whose actions seem to be to remove features and make their software less effective.

Since Microsoft keeps removing features, I had to replace them using my software development knowledge.

I've make an dictionary look up app Lookupper.
You can use it to look up words in Word and anywhere else.

And you know this because...? Please document what you post.

This is just one example of response to user Feedback:

Some assume that simply because they don't get a personal reply that their Feedback is being ignored. Many also seem to expect that Microsoft developers are supposed to drop everything & instantly implement each & every request they receive.

Nobody here can bring back features which developers remove.

Your comments are valid but they need to ne conveyed to Microsoft using the Feedback feature referred to throughout the thread. Those comments/suggestions/complaints go directly to the development group for consideration.

Don't expect an immediate reinstatement of the feature or even a personal reply but responsible Feedback is monitored & prioritized by those who do make the decisions & have the ability to implement changes.

Don't expect anything at all, because there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Microsoft will revert this change.

Nobody's actually reading those messages, they're being aggregated and analyzed by AI and filtered through the Marketing department for prioritization.
