I should've added - I'm a teacher and make regular use of inking, classroom integration in OneNote, teams assignments to word for pen comments, excel macro workbooks, SharePoint syncing etc..

Unfortunately web wrappers for office lose to many features.

Plus (on my last look) the cameras on my surface pro would never work, so that's another bust.

As much as I'd like to use Linux, I use windows because I need OneNote, Teams and Office.

That's a great idea - didn't think of that

So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you'll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.

The reason is because word needs a 'new paragraph' marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it's part of the formatting. You can't delete it.

Ways to get around it:

  • Don't make you're table go to the end of the page.
  • Reduce the font size of the new paragraph marker to 1 (you need to enable show formatting marks). You can probably fit this at the bottom of the page without losing much space.

There's other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it's not the school's responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring 'AI' into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?
