On desktop, the Print button on File › Print now renders the document to PDF, writes it to a fresh wordcraft-print-*.pdf in the OS temp folder and opens it without blocking the window: in Preview on macOS, and in the default PDF app on Linux/BSD (xdg-open, gio, ...) and Windows (via the `open` crate, already in the tree). The user prints from there through the system print dialog. If no viewer can be started, the status bar says so and the file is removed. Print files older than an hour are cleaned up off the UI thread at start-up and after each print. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Hardware parity with Microsoft Word
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-10 · **Change:** major (first version) · **Target:** Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4 and Word for Windows
|
||
|
||
Word is not a hardware-heavy app, but a few devices matter to its users: printers above all, then
|
||
pens, microphones (Dictate) and speakers (Read Aloud), and displays.
|
||
|
||
**Dimension: ~40% (estimated), 20–40 h to full** (pen/ink hours are counted with the Draw tab in
|
||
[`target-app-parity.md`](target-app-parity.md)).
|
||
|
||
| Hardware | Word | WordCraft macOS | Windows | Linux / BSD | Web | Parity | Hours |
