For us opening word files with numbered or multilevel lists created in Mac Office 2011 was the problematic feature. These documents open in Online Word with either a) no list numbers (just as paragraphs), b) list elements with different indentation from the original document, or c) entirely different typeface or position for the numbers of the list, or d) all of a-c in the same document. I don't know if compatibility with the desktop version for numbered or multilevel lists is important for many users, but in our environment (a law office) virtually every document we work with (legal pleadings) is almost entirely a numbered or multilevel list, so for us it rules out using Online Word right now.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll bring this up to my teammates that work on that part of the product.

In general, if you're trying us out and see something you don't like or doesn't work, the bottom right corner should have a button that lets you give us feedback (and yes, we are looking at it, even though there may not be a response).

So for the a/b - we just fixed some bugs that should fix those issues - thanks for the feedback there.
