Just my personal opinion but this page should be removed. Indeed, it's quite difficult to be up-to-date with this never ending features race.
IMO this page can be useful, and I'd imagine the terms used in MS Office haven't necessarily changed all that much over the years. But someone would need to check that.
I checked the terms in Office 2016. For the most part they've remained the same. However, there were a few differences. * I couldn't confirm what "Compare and Merge Documents" is called in Office 2016, if it still exists. * "Document Map" is now "Navigation Pane". * "Lines and Page Breaks" should be "Line and Page Breaks". * "Markup" is now "Show Markup" * "Refresh Data" is now "Refresh All" (on the Data tab) * "Replace text as you type" is now "AutoCorrect"
