MS Edge Text auto-adjusting causing words to go missing.

Why is MS Edge now not allowing full text to be added on a document? It's cutting off half of my context and causing my end user to question my ability to complete a document. ADOBE is not much better and more tedious to use, as you have to go in and 'select/draw text boxes' at each field. Why did MS feel the need to 'fix' something that wasn't even broken? If you're going to apply things you want, then give an 'option to opt out' to the rest of us who function with things as is. What a horrible deployment and decision to make changes.

    It seems you are experiencing issues with text being cut off in Microsoft Edge documents. This can occur due to various reasons, including rendering issues or changes in the way Edge handles text display.

    One potential cause could be related to the built-in PDF reader in Microsoft Edge, which has been noted to have rendering problems with certain fonts or document types. If you are using the new Adobe Acrobat powered built-in PDF reader, you might encounter issues with text display, especially if the document contains specific fonts. A workaround for this is to disable the new PDF viewer in Edge settings by navigating to edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer and turning it off.

    Additionally, if you are using features like the sidebar or extensions, these could also affect how text is displayed in your documents. If the problem persists, consider rolling back to a previous version of Edge or checking for updates that might address these issues.

    It's understandable to feel frustrated with changes that impact your workflow. Providing feedback to Microsoft about your experience can help them understand user needs better and potentially offer options to revert to previous functionalities in future updates.

    Hello,

    Can you tell me what document editing software you’re using on MS Edge? From my experience, I am able to copy and paste most text with no issues, like this post for example, I typically format my posts in MS word then paste it over to learn forums.

    Let me know more when you can,

    JC
