Question MS Word 365 Office App Alternatives for Editing/Markup in Android Tablet Question

[IBelieveInScience]

Hi, I have a new Samsung Android Tablet with a paid Microsoft 365 Office App subscription. As a writer/editor I need not only to track changes when I am editing a document, but prefer to see those changes in MS Word in "Balloons" in the margins, so I can see precisely what I've cut out of the document while I edit it. What traditional MS Word has is a "Tracking" and "Markup" feature with an option for "Show Revisions in Balloons," so you can see all cuts from the document in the margin. On the Android Office 365 app there is no such option as far as I can tell. The only options are "All Markup" and "Simple Markup," neither of which provide visible edits/cut text in the margins. So, I was wondering if there is an alternative text App that allows such margin balloon edits? I have a basic subscription to another app called Softmaker's "TextMaker," but as far as I can tell it doesn't allow me to see edits in the margins in detail either. Is there something I'm doing wrong with that App, or is it something you get with a premium subscription to TextMaker? Or is there another Android App that allows more detailed editing? I appreciate any answers. Thank you!

Welcome to Android Central! I don't use Microsoft 365 myself, but have you tried the online Microsoft Word using the browser?

Thanks, B. Diddy. I have tried the browser version of MS Word on 365, which has more features, but still doesn't have the "Show Revisions in Balloons," option in Markup as far as I can tell unless I'm doing something wrong?

Sorry, I don't use Microsoft 365, so I can't test it myself. Maybe someone else in the forums has that experience ...

I never used any of those markups and haven't used Word for around 2 years. I'm only keeping my subscription for the 1 TB OneDrive storage.
