Janet, I'm just thinking out loud now, & that is always a dangerous
thing for me, because, as my dad always used to tell me, thinking was
beyond my pay grade. However, since I'm not being paid right now...

MS 365 is an online platform. I'm wondering if there's any possibility
that the delay introduced by that is what is causing some or all of
your problem.

I don't even know if this would interest you, but a possible solution
at this time might be MS Office 2021 available through Stack Social
for about $50 USD. Normally this runs about $350 USD, so it's a very
good deal. & no, I don't have any affiliation w/them, financial or
otherwise. I wouldn't wait long on this 1 though, if it's at all of
interest. You can get it at:

If the online venue is indeed introducing transfer delays & causing
your problems, then this might be a solution at a very reasonable
price.

If you do get it, you'll want to go into tools > options & disable a
lot of crap & fix up other options. That includes nuking the start
screen, as it's a pain in the anatomy.

If this is totally off the wall, then please accept my apologies in
advance. But you should probably realize that this is coming from
someone who recently nuked a server because of online delays, ie, I
wasn't where I thought I was. This happens w/everyone, but screen
readers tend to make it more pronounced.
