* Define New Multilevel List and Track Changes Options dialogs (#328) Home > Paragraph > Multilevel List > Define New Multilevel List edits all nine levels with a live preview: number text and style, start, restart after a level, linked paragraph style, alignment, aligned-at and text indent, what follows the number with an optional tab stop, and the number's font. OK runs the new list.define command (list.get reads a definition back). List levels gain a restart-after level and a tab stop, which the counters and layout honour and .docx reads and writes (lvlRestart, num tab); number alignment now places the label. Review > Tracking's launcher opens Track Changes Options: show comments, ink, insertions and deletions, formatting; balloon mode; insertion and deletion marks and colours; changed-line bars and their colour; track formatting. They go through review.trackingOptions, are saved per user with the interface preferences, and the page drawing honours the marks, colours, hidden deletions, change bars and inline mode.

UI parity with Microsoft Word
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: major (first version; ribbon, dialogs, shortcuts and on-canvas interaction measured from
crates/ui-eguiand the command registry) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
How WordCraft looks and feels next to Word: ribbon, dialogs, panes, keyboard, mouse and touch.
Typing behaviour has its own checklist (typing-parity.md). All assets are our
own (AGENTS.md: no Microsoft iconography, ever).
Dimension: ~65% (estimated), 65–100 h to full (the sum of the rows below; dialog depth is counted here, not under features).
