Get back to real life. And either learn what is TeX or stop reporting
useless bugs.
If you want a system that translates a document in the very same way
even after 10 or more years, use TeX.
If you want changing page breaks, chaotic behaviour wrt layout, use
Microsoft Word.
But in this case please stop annoying us.
Thanks.
Retitling this bug to
Request for Packaging: Microsoft Winword
and adding tag wontfix
