Your trial operations have been used. A free account takes one click (Google works too) and gives you more free operations per category — plus 50 GB for sending files.
Only what you touch is rewritten in the file; everything else (styles, headers and footers, images) stays exactly as it was. Tables can be edited: touch one and it is rebuilt with the borders and widths of the original. A table inside a table is left alone — this version cannot write that back reliably.
Open a link with Ctrl+click and change it with the right mouse button; the text of a link is not editable. Paragraphs containing fields or bookmarks are locked (grey edge) and go back into the file completely unchanged. Tracked changes are shown in colour: accept or reject them under Review, after which the paragraph can be edited again. Footnotes and endnotes are shown below the page (Insert > Footnote, Ctrl+Alt+F). Pasting keeps bold, italic, underline, headings, lists and tables, and within the document also footnotes (Ctrl+Shift+V pastes plain text); an image is pasted on its own.
Open a Word file (.docx, also the old .doc or an OpenDocument text .odt), edit the text with formatting (bold, italic, headings, find & replace) and save it again as .docx — no Office needed, 100% in your browser. Whatever you don't touch (styles, headers and footers, images) stays unchanged in the file.
