> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-12 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-15 · **Change:** trivial (Pen / stylus row: two-stroke and closed-head arrows; previously trivial: Pen / stylus row: ink, eraser and Ink to Shape incl. arrows landed; previously trivial: a window too big for its screen shrinks to fit when it opens, #1215; previously trivial: 32-bit Windows starts on OpenGL; previously major: first version) · **Target:** Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4 and Word for Windows

> **Printing update:** 2026-10-12 · direct desktop printing through craft-print; details below.
|
||
|
||
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 |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Printers: native print dialog, printer choice, copies, duplex, page ranges, tray, scaling | ✅ (`WordPDE.plugin` print-dialog extension on Mac) | 🟡 Direct CUPS printing; printer, copies, collation, duplex, ranges and grayscale | 🟡 Direct spooler printing; printer, copies, collation, duplex, ranges and grayscale | 🟡 Direct spooler printing; printer, copies, collation, duplex, ranges and grayscale | ✅ browser print dialog (#209) | 35% | 5–8 |
|
||
| GPU rendering, HiDPI/Retina, pixel-aligned text | ✅ | ✅ wgpu + vello_cpu rasteriser, whole-pixel text (#110, #165) | ✅ DirectX 12 default (#50), OpenGL when DirectX 12 has no GPU driver (#316) or on 32-bit; startup crash on Intel UHD (#170) | ✅ (soft text on KDE at some zooms, #140) | ✅ | 80% | 3–5 (bugs) |
|
||
| Pen / stylus: ink, pressure, eraser, ink to shape/math | ✅ (Draw tab, `InkRender.bundle`) | 🟡 ink, stroke eraser, Ink to Shape incl. one- and two-stroke arrows with open or closed heads (#307, #395); pressure and Ink to Math missing | 🟡 same | 🟡 same | 🟡 same | 50% | (Draw tab, 15–25) |
|
||
| Multiple monitors, per-monitor DPI, remembered window position, a window that fits its screen | ✅ | ✅ (#38, #76, #1215) | ✅ (winit DPI fix pending, #155) | ✅ | — | 85% | 1 |
|
||
| Microphone: Dictate | ✅ (cloud speech service) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 0% | 8–15 + owner (speech model choice) |
|
||
| Speakers: Read Aloud | ✅ | ✅ system speech, speed, sentence skip (#190) | ✅ | 🟡 | 🟡 | 75% | 1–2 |
|
||
| Touch screens and touchpads: pinch zoom, inertial scroll | ✅ | ✅ pinch (#179) | ✅ | ✅ inertial scroll (#252) | ✅ | 85% | 0–1 |
|
||
| Scanners/cameras (Insert from device / Continuity Camera on Mac) | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 0% | 2–4 |

## Revision history
|
||
|
||
| Date | Change | Summary |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 2026-10-15 | trivial | Pen / stylus row: Ink to Shape also makes two-stroke arrows and arrows with a closed triangle head |
|
||
| 2026-10-14 | trivial | Pen / stylus row corrected: ink, eraser and Ink to Shape (with arrows) work; pressure and Ink to Math missing |
|
||
| 2026-10-13 | trivial | A window too big for its screen shrinks to fit when it opens (#1215): eframe sized the first window to the whole monitor, frame and taskbar not counted, so on a laptop screen its bottom, with the end of the scroll bar, was past the screen edge. A window saved that size is fitted on its next launch too |
|
||
| 2026-10-12 | trivial | 32-bit Windows starts on OpenGL: DirectX 12 graphics pipeline creation returns "The parameter is incorrect" and the app exited before the window appeared |
|
||
| 2026-10-12 | minor | Desktop File > Print now discovers printers and submits PDF jobs through pinned craft-print with printer choice, copies, duplex and grayscale; browser printing and PDF export remain available. The upstream preview, page ranges, parity and Print Markup remain available. Remaining print parity includes driver-specific tray/options and pages-per-sheet UI; physical printer fidelity needs hardware validation. |
|
||
| 2026-10-10 | trivial | Windows falls back to OpenGL when DirectX 12 offers only the software adapter (#316) |
|
||
| 2026-10-10 | trivial | Desktop File › Print opens the PDF in the system viewer (#286) |
|
||
| 2026-10-10 | trivial | Inertial touchpad scrolling landed (#252) |
|
||
| 2026-10-10 | major | First version |
