    Hi Ken, I don't think Office 2021 has the rewrite function/tool. You need Microsoft 365. Microsoft does not like people using one-time-payment versions of Office.

    Hm, I have never seen that particular option. Then again, I don't use the Editor actively. I see now that rewrite was presented as an insider option in 2019: https://insider.office.com/en-us/blog/rewrite-in-word-say-it-another-way.

    Thanks for the clarification, Charles.

    The information that 2021 does not include the rewrite tool is correct. Link you provide, though, is worthless, It is about 365 update schedule.
