MS Office issues. The whole project back in the 90s as I understand it was that all of these productivity tools would work together. You write something up in Word, move that over into a PowerPoint slide and add in a cool data visual from Excel. I don't know what happened but they do NOT play nice together anymore. Tables don't copy right, I use a totally external program to screenshot the table or pie chart, and maintaining formatting between programs?

Word is also remarkably bad with long (100+ page) documents and lots of different content sources. If you're not pasting as pure text into Microsoft Word, you're playing with fire.
Also, I suspect it's cruft inside the program that has made this problem actually worse over time, not just "still a problem". Thank god Markdown is now more widely supported, including on Microsoft-owned Github.
