My sons say I am the only person in the world still using Word, I don't see how that can be true. They all use google docs, but I am comfortable and happy with my Word. Resources like this are helpful to me, especially as my version of Word is also a very old one. My sons both work in data science systems developing data science software so they think they know everything about computers. I am not sure how I managed to raise two tech sons, but there you go.
