Last week there was a Meta discussion asking whether questions about Microsoft Word online were on-topic.
Are questions about Microsoft Word Online on-topic here? I don't really see any posted here, but perhaps I am not searching correctly.

Yes, they are. We even have a specific tag: word-online.
Not many questions, granted. I suspect some of them are incorrectly tagged with microsoft-word which, as "installable software" is off-topic here.

When a similar issue was discussed on Super User a few years back, they decided to prepend all microsoft product tags with microsoft-. I think this would be a good idea here as well.
- It makes the tag easier to find
- Makes finding microsoft-related questions easy by searching microsoft*
- Consistent with Google's product tags (google-drive, google-spreadsheets, etc.)
- Matches Microsoft's official naming scheme
To prevent future confusion Microsoft's online Office apps should include the Microsoft name.
Suggested retags:
- office-online → microsoft-office-online
- word-online → microsoft-word-online
- excel-online → microsoft-excel-online
Edit: If the 25 character limit is a concern, an alternative would be to add the Microsoft tags as synonyms
