Ever since the advent of New Teams, there’s been complaints about the Screen Sharing Bar and where it appears when you’re sharing your screen in Microsoft Teams.

Keeping a hyphenated word together in Microsoft Word
One of my coworkers pointed out another Microsoft Word trick involving keeping words together on the same line.
