I have worked on Office-Word to draw for over 2 decades. With the changes it is how impossible to simply just draw. Much of 365 ribbon is preset and it impossible to change. How can I use my paid 365 word for drawing. I'm not purchasing another drawing app when Word was enough.

    Hello !

    What are you exactly seeing in Word ?
    If you need to do so, you can tweak the Office ribbon by going to File > Options > Customise Ribbon > and tick the "Draw" tab.
    If you want to add commands to a group, you must first add a custom group in the tab. Once done, you can add any command inside. If you're not seeing every single command, make sure you've switched to "All commands" on the left.

    Reset or work with the best aspects of the 2010 drawing version. In US patents, etc. elaborate drawings are not required and are frowned upon. The 2010 drawing program was not perfect but more than effective then the 365 programs. Many drawing applications need to be simple not over the hill. And lastly your 365 does not work most of the time, unlike your previous 2010 drawing versions which worked very well and was simple. Combine the best of each... simplicity or give our money back.
