Is it possible to have Word (Office 365) automatically select a block of text when a user clicks into it?
For example we have instructions in a document that might be [insert updated fee here]
In general the whole block needs to be replaced with the new text.
These blocks are formatted in a specific way, so the method could be associated with a specific style, but as there are likely multiple instances of the style we would only want to update the one clicked on, not all instances.
I can't find a native method, so are we looking at a macro on each template that this occurs on?
You could insert your text blocks into Rich Text Content Controls as the placeholder texts for those content controls. No code required.

I am writting some document with links to external websites, but some links are to large to simply be tossed in to the word file and i was thinking if there's a way to attach the hyperlink to any word/phrase in the document for example:
www.google.com/verylonglinkhereforexample
As if i would do in for a hyperlink tag:
check the site here, where clicking site, would take me to the desired link behind site word. Or is there any alternative at all to reduce links instead of tossing large links to the document?
This is an easy one.
Assuming you're using Office 2016/2019 (I'm not 100% sure about the others, but I'm sure it would be pretty similar), the easiest way to do this is:
First, highlight the text you want to go to the hyperlink.
Go to the insert tab
Press 'Link'
At the top of the dialog box, check that the text to display is the text you highlighted
At the bottom of the dialog box, enter the actual hyperlink
Press OK
Enjoy!

In Word, I can add two figures side by side, however, when I insert captions to each of them, the figure number doesn't change, both of them have the same figure number. How can I solve this problem?
You can put the figures into a borderless two-column table. Your pictures are actually put in an invisible table. Then you can add captions to each of the pictures and Word will provide different figure numbers.

Since this problem is reoccurring in my workflow and the solution is hard to find:
When pasting pictures into a MS Word document, sometimes it disappears behind the text, at least when working in the Print Layout. Sometimes also the text disappears and only part of the image is visible.
Select the image (if you cannot select it, change the view)
Go to Home > Paragraph > Line Spacing Options. A dialog box will appear.
Change the Line spacing from Exactly to anything else
Click OK

You probably want to use GtkSourceView instead of a TextView (e.g. the widget used by gedit among others), there are specific methods ready to use such as:
gtk_source_view_set_show_line_numbers

I have a word document that grabs data from an excel spreadsheet. One of the fields is a QR encoded bar code. I am merging it into labels in ms word. I cannot figure out why starting with the last row of labels on the 1st page and subsequent pages the bar code shows up larger. See image.
The data was longer on the larger bar codes.
