When you type inside the document by using a Japanese (or other languages) Input Method Editor (IME), a bar that is used to display the equivalent character set appears and then disappears immediately. Therefore, you cannot select the correct character.

Word 2013 has slower performance than Word 2010 when iterating through a table by using macros.

The Don't center "exact line height" lines option is not available.
-
When you clear the check box for Use line-breaking rules option, and then click to save the changes, the option is not disabled.

Assume that you have a Word document that contains right-to-left text embedding or override characters. You may be unable to save the document. Additionally, when you run the ActiveDocument.TransformDocument method, you may receive the "Run-time error '5254'" error message.
