Microsoft Word is not allowing me to use the Custom Margins command

This seemed to be a problem back in the beginning of 2021 as well and it was said that the only work around was to sign in under a different account. Is this still the only solution? I have checked that all my software and Mac is up to date but need to know if there is anything else that can be done please :)

Unable to open Microsoft Word Format Document, Custom Margins windows in Ventura 13.3.1 I have a 2020 Macbook Air with Ventura 13.3.1. In Word (which I just updated, BTW; version 16.72), when I go to Format>Document, no dialog box opens. Same thing when I go to Layout>Margins>Custom Margins and Layout>Size. There may be more dialog boxes I can't open, but I am not yet aware of them. Does anyone know of a fix?

Microsoft Word is reopening documents that I've already closed when I respond "SAVE" to a dialog box. But MY WORK IS NOT SAVED. Using Microsoft Word's most recent update (Nov 2023) on a MacBook Air using OS Sonoma 14.1... I can manually save changes in my Word document and the changes appear to be saved. The problem only occurs when I try to CLOSE the document. Then -- even though I've already saved my changes -- a dialog box appears saying I need to save my changes or lose them. The other options are "Don't Save" or "Cancel". So, I press "SAVE" and the document appears to close BUT IT REOPENS. Every time I retry the sequence I get the same result. I cannot close the document. And if I were to press "DONT SAVE" (just to be able to close the document), then none of my changes are saved, even though they appear to have been saved while I was editing it.

Format > Document > Margins seems to work here. You might check you are on View > Print Layout.
