I'm using Microsoft Word version 15.8 (latest version) and macOS 10.12.6. When I enter text with dictation, everything I just entered gets pasted a second time when I stop the dictation. It's horrifically annoying. The longer I speak, the worse the duplications get. This only happens in Word. Yes I've tried restarting my computer. Didn't help at all.

It's always Microsoft products that end up giving me headaches over such stupid little things that don't work right.

Watch the dumpster fire in action:

For troubleshooting purposes, I installed Office 2011. Not only is it way faster, everything works correctly, including the dictation.
