Vince,
Thank you for writing.
She did not make a purchase. There was some kind of free trial available.
She is not sure if she tried this through Microsoft directly or the Apps Store
but regardless, the bigger issue is she was unable to download successfully because she was required?
to provide a "Keychain Password." (My recent message to the Group)
Neither of us knows what this is, what is being asked for.

Jim R, how do your long winded stories about your former possessions advance the story??
When utilities apps can't find the issue, that can simply be explained by a hardware issue. Have you heard of occam's razor? The simplest answer is often the correct one. Sometimes explaining things in a different way, make the answer click in others minds.
As to your MBP restarting, you didn't mentions that in the long, wandering first post. OK, we forget sometimes, but you lose us in your long, unfocused, wandering, posts. Oh and I wander in my posts, sometimes, but usually when the topic is about opinions, like how Apple serves its customers.

I did point out that I once had 3 cases that securely hold a laptop Mac well cushioned and now have only one, but the point of that wasn’t to wail about things that happened two years ago but just to say that I don’t think that the genesis of this repetitive rebooting a few days ago could be blamed on my laptop bag(s).
Your other comment (no, not the one about leeches and poisonous therapy in medicine, but rather the one that says maybe I should just be happy the MacBook Pro has stopped rebooting and go back to using it) is more on point, but of course another (generally considered valuable) voice has suggested that perhaps it’s time to say goodbye to this machine because of its sketchy performance.
I’ll try to keep my own contributions less embellished and more on point.

Re: no text loop in latest iPad download?
That’s how it feels to me right now, but I haven’t given the ‘new way’ a chance yet and actually learned it. I never liked the loupe much either. I also wished Apple just provided us with direction arrows to place the cursor (probably the ONE thing Android does better).

I guess I never really thought about it, just did whatever I had to that gave the result I wanted. So for me, the change is minor, maybe easier.

Howdy. I use GyazMail which only very recently was updated to a 64-bit application for macOS X 10.15 Catalina. GyazMail has been quite reliable and I like it because of extensive filters and rules capabilities (sort of like the lost late great Eudora email app). But GyazMail has not had a graceful change to 64-bit. Lots of bugs with download and save contextual menus and a major Bug that sees it freeze when trying to Quit the app (about 90% of the times I try to quit the app). The programmer/owner has already released one update/bug fixer to ver. 10.16.1 which fixed the download/save problems and I'm hoping another updater/fixer will be released soon. The programmer/owner is Goichi Hirakawa who is I think Japanese. He's very responsive to feedback and has an excellent command of English. The GyazMail web site is: <> Check it out if you are a GyazMail user, or, just want to get some more info on the program. There is a feedback area.

I used to add an Italian keyboard to the Input menu but have not done
so recently.
I saw the square black & white Input menu icon on my Mac until, just
now, I added an Italian keyboard in Input Sources.
The Input black & white Input Menu icon immediately changed to the US
flag. If I click and change to the Italian keyboard the flag changes
to the Italian flag.

Thank you for your assistance. Sorry we didn't provide the requisite info but neither of us are very tech savvy
and some of what you inquired of us, we never would have considered as essential. "Well above our pay grade."
Nevertheless, my wife has a MacBook Pro, 21.5 inch, late 2012 model.
637.96 GB available out of 1 TB. ?8 GB Ram.
As she always does, when a "drop down" notice is received indicating "updates available," she simply clicks on "Install"
She did that weeks ago, shortly after Catalina was offered.?
Please note, the download and subsequent installation of 10.15.1 seemed to go seamlessly and were installed when each were made available.
The trouble only occurred a couple of days ago, when my wife tried to use the versions of Microsoft applications, on the iMac, "Word," Excel," "Power Point,"
etc. that she?has been using for years on all the prior OS`s up to Mohave.?
It appears Catalina and those older Microsoft apps are not compatible. I believe I saw a message on my MacBook Air, 2014, running he latest
Mohave, that these Microsoft applications will no longer function beyond Mohave.
My wife proceeded to try to download Microsoft 365 Personal and when she tried to open Word, a box kept appearing, requesting
a "keychain password." She didn't know what that meant and so she kept using all the passwords she could think of without success.
Also was unable to change or reset her password, so that currently "Word" is inoperable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rick
for the latest OS, in this case Catalina. No different than what she (we) have been doing since the days of "Leopard" and moving forward.
She did not do any maintenance or preparation beyond just clicking "Install."
