The help resources for Word can be reached from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/word .

However, in many cases, you will get assistance faster if you ask your specific question here in the Q&A forum.

    My document, 400+ pages, no longer shows tracked changes. I have Reviewing mode on, I've checked tracking prefs. All I see are the comments. No inline colored changes by me or the other person. Now what???

    On the Review tab, click Markup Options and see which options are selected there. In particular, which option is selected on the Balloons submenu?

    Also look at the tracking preferences, for example, via Review > Markup Options > Preferences.

    While you're in the Help menu it would be a good idea to select Check for Updates. The version you cited is out of date. Version 16.109 [or later depending on Update Channel] is current. You haven't explained the issue but it's entirely possible tht updating will provid the remedy. If not, please follow Stefan's recommendation to post your specific concern here.

    Also note that Help> Word Help sometimes renders information pertaining to Word for Windows so you may need to return here after all 🙂

    Help content for Word for Mac 16.105.3 is provided through the same channels as other recent Word for Mac versions:

    1. Built-in Help in Word
      • On the menu bar, select Help.
      • Use the search box to look up features, commands, and help articles specific to Word for Mac.
      • In newer Word for Mac versions, the Tell me (search) box also lets you type what you want to do and jumps directly to the feature.
    2. Online Word for Mac help
      • Use the Word for Mac help collection at: Word for Mac Help. From there, access articles such as:
        • Add a border to a page
        • Add a “Draft” watermark to your document
        • Add or edit a header or footer
        • Create and use your own template
        • Create a table of contents
        • Insert or remove a page break
        • Keyboard shortcuts in Word (Mac)
      • These articles apply to supported perpetual and Microsoft 365 builds of Word for Mac, including 16.105.3.
    3. Training and “What’s new” content
      • Use the Word Training and Word Quick Start guide for feature overviews and step-by-step instructions.
      • The “What’s new in Word 2021 for Mac” page also links to Tell me and other help resources that are relevant to current Word for Mac builds.
    4. Community and support
      • For questions not covered by articles, use:
        • Word for Mac Community forums for peer Q&A.
        • Word Forum on Answers and Word Tech Community for discussions, troubleshooting, and best practices.
      • To send feedback or request changes, use Help > Feedback in Word or the “Provide feedback” page.
