Default Word should work better with pictures, captions, tables, and form.

Working with documents in Word have become so frustrating that it is a major
stress source. Formatting automatically changes all headings when I want to
increase or decrease indentation, figures jump position from one page to
another , without their captions, or vice-versa. Locking figure position
works once or twice, not always. Hours are spent fixing what the software
changes on its own. Why can't a figure remain where you paste it. Why does
formating have to be too smart .
Suggestion: If a figure cannot be placed in a certain location provide a
warning such as a red border highlight. Fix captions so that they do not
dissapear when the window is resized, or a new title is inserted 10 pages
back. Tables of contents screw up all the formatting, even if they all have
correct heading formats. Too many problems, too much frustration... can't
list them all, Word has gone frombad to worse.
