Rather, it’s a unique office suite styled like a Mac app, and basically unrelated to the Windows software other than in file compatibility.

Microsoft has always said that Office for Mac is not a port of Office for Windows. I pray to Bob that (a) this is true and (b) it’s significantly better. I have read rumors that Microsoft is preparing to release a new version of office for Mac this year. The Windows versions of Word do not have this problem this is a special Mac issue. Now when you hit Modify the correct value is stored in the correct property. Unbelievably, you have to manually edit the Name: field at the top and delete “ completed”.
If you change the Value and hit Modify, it will store it in the Date Completed property. What’s additionally screwed up here is that the Value field contains the value extracted from the Date property. You can see at the top in the Name: field, “Date Completed”, confirming that Word has selected that field for editing. To edit that field, I click on Date at the bottom, and this is where is goes wrong: Word very helpfully selects one of the built-in values, “Date Completed” instead: In this sample document, I have one custom property field set – Date: Editing this field is where my annoyance begins. One such field is called “Date” and is used to record the date a document was issued. I use templates with custom properties set, and those property fields are used throughout the document, in headers and footers for example. Then finally, click the Ok button to store your changes. You have to click on the name of the custom property at the bottom, then go to the middle of the dialog to the Value field, and edit the value, then click the Modify button (which is the Add button when you’re not modifying a value) to store the change. When you set a custom property it will be listed at the bottom with its current value/setting.Įditing these custom properties is clunky at best (both on Windows and Mac). None of those built-in properties are set until you choose them and give them a value they’re just examples. On the dialog that opens, click on the Custom tab at the top, and you see a list of built-in custom properties as well as an area where you can add your own: In Office 2011 for Mac, go to the File menu and choose Properties. If you haven’t delved into the world of custom properties before, they’re really quite simple. I’ve found one bug though that is probably not commonly stumbled upon but is quite irritating once you do. However, it functions for the most part and is just about usable for business documents. Released in late 2010, this office suite is a distinctly inferior application in comparison to the Windows version (yes, even despite the nasty appearance of Word 2013). Currently running Word 2011, v.14.0.1.We take a break from our normal networking schedule to pay a quick visit to the world of Microsoft Office 2011 for OSX.

(I'm running a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.7 if that helps. (If the answer is that this is impossible, well, I won't be happy, but at least I'll know.) I'll consider add-ons, scripting, pretty much anything that won't destabilize my system. (You can do this in Word for Windows.) Reading through the above threads, this has been the case for the last two major versions Word for the Mac. This is an important missing feature in Word for the Mac. (Seeing notes within the reviewing pane while in draft view doesn't work, since you can't easily tell which notes relate to what text.) Is it possible to use VBA to change this behavior in Word on the Mac? Or would this simply break in future revisions? Click to the left of the paragraph (e.g., figure, table, etc.) to be placed on a landscape page: Insert menu > Break > Section Break (Next Page). It's pretty clear there's no workaround that will allow authors and editors to view changes inline, while simultaneously seeing notes with their pointers to the text being referred to. To clarify, here are some threads on the MS forums about this: You can view comments as well as changes simultaneously, but the only way to do this is in balloons off to the side, so you have balloons reading "This text is confusing because " and also ones saying "text deleted - ". However, there's currently no way of doing this while simultaneously viewing comments. (Such a balloon would read "Text deleted - "on the screen".) In Word 2011 for the Mac, it's possible to view tracked changes inline - that is, see the changes made on the screen within the text itself, as opposed seeing them in a balloon off to the side.
