I can type in word mac

Did quite a bit of searching, but did not find anything about this. If there is a thread please tell me a link.

I have an old version of Microsoft Word X for Mac (Word:mac) from around 2003 or so. It recently stopped letting me type! I can open documents, edit them from the pull down menus, but cannot type, copy-paste, etc. Same machine I’ve always used (Imac pre-IBM chip). Very strange. I have un-installed and re-installed twice. I have tried different keyboards with the same result. Previously I had some difficulties with the computer because of some bad SDRAM. I replaced the bad DIMM. I have enough memory to exceed what is listed in the system requirements for the program. Oh, and I can type in other programs like TextEdit, etc. Any ideas? thanks!

To enable typing in devanagari, I followed steps as advised on web. I can now type devanagari in mac mail and on the web but I can’t type in devanagari in my mac Word.

It ought to make you resthink about Microsoft. MS Word is the only Mac app in the universe which cannot do Devanagari. Every other app can do it just fine. MS has had 13 years to fix that. They are either very poor at programming or have intentionally crippled Mac Word so as to make people who use it in India stay with Windows.

Try OpenOffice, it is much the same as Mac Word.

Auto Text Word 2016 Mac

Do you find yourself writing the same text again and again? Maybe it’s a signature or sign off or you may have standard paragraphs of text that you need to use from time to time.

When working with several different clients, you will be looking for ways to speed things up. One of my favourite tools is AutoText.

AutoText stands for Automatic Text and that is exactly what it does. It automatically inserts prewritten and/or pre-formatted text into your document at a keystroke.

I worked with a lady who ran an estate agency and she had several paragraphs of text to choose from when building terms and conditions. Not every client needed exactly the same content, so she created a series of AutoText entries which could be added quickly and easily.

Type Text to become AutoText

  1. Type the paragraph of text or whatever you want to store as an AutoText entry.
  2. Select the text
    AutoText Word 2016 Mac
  3. Click on the Insert Menu and choose AutoText – NewAutoText Word 2016 Mac
  1. Type a memorable name for your AutoText entry – make sure that it is longer than three letters.

auto text Word 2016 mac

That’s it your AutoText entry is now saved.

To use your new AutoText using the keyboard

Start to type the name of the AutoText Entry and you will see an AutoComplete tip on the document with instructions to press Enter to insert.

Press Enter and the text will appear!

Note: This is the fastest way to insert an AutoText entry.

Insert an AutoText entry using the menu

Place the cursor where you want the AutoText to appear.

Click Insert > AutoText > and then select your entry from the list.

Find the entry in the list 2) Click on Insert 3) see the preview
Autotext Word 2016 Mac

Delete an entry

If you need to delete an entry – follow the steps above and click Delete to remove it from the list.

Store your AutoText Entry

Word stores the AutoText entry in the Normal template, which makes it available in all documents. If you want to limit AutoText entries to particular documents, on the Insert menu, point to AutoText, click AutoText, and then select a different template on the Look in pop-up menu when you create the AutoText entry.

Can I store formatted text or shapes as AutoText Entries?

The answer is of course yes!

For example, if I want to re-use this table several times when writing a user guide, I can select the whole table, click on Insert > AutoText > New and name the entry. Then I can use the tool tip to add it.

Some examples:

  • Sign off for different clients
  • Name and Address details that you often type
  • Standard paragraphs of text
  • A table with a particular style applied
  • The list goes on….

How will you use this tip? Will you create AutoText entries to speed up your working day?

The session was well structured and the explanation was very clear. It was amazing how Shelley managed to squeeze so much info in just one hour and a half! Colin’s support and contributions were also very valuable, and so were “Virtual Veronica”‘s. Thank you for a most interesting and useful training session at the Miss Jones Virtual Summit!

I haven’t used PowerPoint in 20 years, this has really boosted my confidence.

Course is packed with so much valuable information in a easy-to-understand and follow language, even for a complete beginner. I can respect the fact that sometimes it’s very hard for an expert to break the information down to basics. but Shelley has done it brilliantly. I was sure that I knew quite a bit but Shelley has proven me wrong even at the very beginning of the basics of PowerPoint. Lessons are short and precise which allowed me to easily transfer the new skill into practice without being overwhelmed and to carry on adding on more with each lesson. I had so many ‘Aha!’ moments and for most of them I couldn’t believe I used to pay graphic designer to do it for me, now, thanks to Shelley, I am looking forward to creating, designing, converting my presentations all by myself!

Shelley was very thorough and knew a lot of tip’s for using Teams, thank you 🙂

Very informative, constantly getting everyone in the meeting involved, loved every bit of it!

Fantastic and informative training and great to see all of the exciting functions with Microsoft Teams.

Shelley was really clear in her teaching and went at a pace that was helpful to us. We covered all we needed to know to get us started, as a small team, using MS Teams. She was also very helpful in the run up to the session, with check in calls and ensuring our platform was set up correctly. I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone wanting to learn to navigate their way around MS Teams.

Microsoft Teams One to One Training Session

Shelley was approachable, easy to work with, and agile with answering questions to apply the session to my specific needs

A course on Outlook had been on the top of my list when Shelley asked VA’s what they wanted to learn. It was a real case of ‘so that’s how you do it’ or ‘I never knew that’. I have to say that I learnt so many great tips it has definitely improved the way I work in Outlook and my inbox is looking colourful and organised and I can’t wait to share this knowledge with my clients.

A great course with lots of examples and step by step instructions. I can now confidently create infographics and as a bonus, I learnt a lot of new PowerPoint functionality that will enhance all my PowerPoint work and save me so much time.

I really like Shelley’s courses. She has a clear and easy to follow teaching style. In ‘How to Create Fillable Forms’ I’ve learned about the functions of the Developer ribbon which will mean I’ll be able to create a bespoke Returns Form for a client who has an online shop

Absolutely superb course, easy to follow and to refer back whilst putting it all into practice! I was unaware of the extent you can customise a presentation and it’s just made me want to know more – what’s next Shelley?

I thought I had a pretty good grasp of Outlook until I did this course! In her videos, Shelley is clear and concise, and the language she uses is straightforward and jargon-free. Each module is broken down into manageable chunks, which helps keep your attention and means the course is easy to fit in around other commitments. I’ve created email templates and implemented rules that are already saving me time, and as all the other things I’ve learnt start to become second nature, the positive impact on my efficiency is fast becoming clear. This course has been incredibly beneficial and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their skills and boost productivity.

I thought I knew Powerpoint really well, but I wanted to specifically learn how to use Powerpoint to create better infographics, easily and quickly. Shelley explains everything in a very logical and clear way, so I understood everything the first time I heard it. The most useful thing I learnt was that Powerpoint can do so much more than I thought it could. By also using the short cuts that Shelley showed me I am much quicker than I have ever been and I thought I was already quick!

Shelley Fishel of Tomorrow’s VA has a wealth of experience in Microsoft Office. I met her in person 2 years ago at the PA Show in London. I also saw her in action in a fab workshop and knew she was the whizz that everyone had told me she was. I have since bought a lifetime access to her HUB and all the courses in there are a MUST if you are a VA on a mission. The courses will give you confidence in all the Office 365 components and will catapult you to dizzy heights

I hardly ever want to paste with formatting when copying into Word 2016 or Excel 2016 (seriously, who wants fonts when copying into a spreadsheet?). Is there a way to set the default paste to paste text only when I hit Cmd+V?

asked Jun 18, 2017 at 2:46

Jeff's user avatar

In a roundabout fashion yes, mostly…

In MS Office their version of «Paste as plain text» is called «Paste and Match Style and uses the macOS system defaults (OptionCommandShiftV) for paste as plain text for that function.

Now if you don’t want to have to do that four finger salute just to paste (essentially) plain text, you can change the menu shortcuts in any application via the Keyboard Preference pane.

  1. Click on System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
  2. Click the + button and from the Application menu select (for example) Microsoft Word.
  3. Enter the menu title that you want to change. noting that the menu that you want to assign or reassign its keyboard shortcut must match exactly what the menu says down to the capitalization.
  4. Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and tap the keyboard shortcut you want to assign to that menu option, then click Add
  5. Repeat for any other keyboard shortcuts you want to add/change in any other applications you want to change them for.

In this example I reassigned «Paste» to OptionCommandShift V. And «Paste and Match Formatting» to CommandV.

Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences

I didn’t do this for all applications as I don’t want to chance messing up the behavior of other applications that you can copy/paste with.

NOTE that this is not really «paste plain text» but will give you at least some of that functionality with very little pain.

To really get paste plain text in an MS Office application you would likely need something that could capture a regular paste command and then select the plain text icon from the formatting menu that pops up at the insertion point after you paste. There may be a macro program out there that can do that but I am unaware of any specific ones with that functionality.

For some versions of Word, I have v16.16.7 (whatever edition that is), I was able to use a version of the Tools > Customize Keyboard solution. Once there, select Edit on the left and PasteTextOnly on the right. Then, add whatever keyboard shortcut you want, e.g., command+V. I have not extensively road tested this but it seems to work. No idea if this can be extended elsewhere in Office.

Steve Chambers solution works for Word, but not for Excel, because there simply is no «Paste and Match Formatting» command in Excel. Only Paste or Paste Special. Thus for Excel, I believe the answer is no, unfortunately. But I’d love to proven otherwise.

Here is the definite solution for all versions:

  • Select a cell and copy it.
  • Go to Tools > Macros > record new macro.
  • Specify a shortcut, for example option+command+b
  • Click enter
  • focus on any empty cell and click control+v, then select «paste and style formatting» in the options.
  • Go to Tools > Macros > Stop Macro.
  • Next, download and install BetterTouchTool.
  • Go to Preferences > keyboard.
  • Add new shortcut. Enter command+v in the shortcut field and enter option+command+b in the triggered shortcut field.
  • Done.

I used the above answer as a reference and added my own solution:

Macro1:
Copy some formatted text.
Let the document cursor stay somewhere in the document.
Go to Tools > Macros > record new macro.
Specify a shortcut with option+command+shift+b (finish macro creation)
Press cmd+v
Select destination formatting
Go to Tools > Macros > Stop Macro.

Macro2:
Go to Tools > Macros > record new macro
Specify a shortcut with cmd+v (override the normal paste)
This time you press option+command+shift+b
Go to Tools > Macros > Stop Macro
Done.

Now each time you press cmd+v you will call a macro which calls another macro and your text will be formatted correctly. (This is a solution tested in word)

Here is a solution that works on Excel for Mac 16.42!

  1. Go to the Tools > Customize Keyboard... menu.
  2. Under Categories choose Commands not in the Ribbon
  3. In the Search bar under Commands type «Match» and select the command named Match Destination Formatting . (I bet you would have searched for «Paste» instead and never found this command!)
  4. Click in the input box that says Press new keyboard shortcut:
  5. Type the shortcut you want, in my case that is Command+V and make sure to click Add. Note: that it tells you this command is already assigned to «Paste». That’s fine, we will overwrite it.
  6. You should see your keyboard command in the list of Current keys: now.
  7. Click OK.

Note that the «Paste Values» command doesn’t work for values copied from outside of Excel for some reason. But «Match Destination Formatting» seems to do what I want.

I found that every option on here didn’t work for me, but you guys have helped me find a way.

I am using a Mac Pro with macOS 11.6 and Excel for Mac 16.54 with MS Office 365.

I managed to get plain text on CmdV in Excel by going to Tools > Customise Keyboard, then in the Categories:, select Commands Not in the Ribbon**. Then in the search box under Commands:, I typed in «Paste». I then selected Paste Values and then clicked in the box below «Press new keyboard shortcut» and pressed the CmdV keys. Then clicked Add and OK.

I can now paste just the values.

I upgraded to Office 2016 and I have to say Word is super slow when it comes to typing. Like it lags behind each word when I type. And, its worse when I type in a table. It’s driving me crazy. Is anyone else experiencing this? It’s the same for me on my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini. And, the slow typing on a table is also there on Word 2016 for iPad.

Odd, it’s not happening to me on mac mini or ipad mini.

Isn’t just because Microsoft has made the movement smooth?

I already deleted mine and can’t remember, but recall that is how the latest version on Windows, I tried, behaved.

Mine is the same and it’s very annoying — all my work is report writing and it’s a nuisance….I type too fast for word / powerpoint and it’s just annoying the life out of me. I thought it was maybe just the beta version but got a new Macbook and got Office for Mac 2016 and it’s still the same.

In addition to this .. I have a problem where I’m typing in a table in Powerpoint and come to the end of the line — naturally powerpoint should just continue my sentence on the next line but it seems to be highlighting the whole cell text and then as I am typing faster, it is overriding the cell text .. I keep having to use undo and be careful when I come to the end of a line … also same thing happens when I press enter for a new para in powerpoint … highlights the whole cell text and overrides it … again I have to use the undo and work around it … I really hope this isn’t it .. they better have updates to fix these few things.

I’d love to use iWork or Keynote but unfortunately we have standard templates for our reports at work and most people operate from a windows machine so I have to go with Microsoft Office for now.

I have the same issue from time to time on my MBA. Word 2016 usually crashes on the first attempt to open it. Then, I get the random slow, laggy typing.

For those wondering why not just use Pages, Word has better spell/grammar check. I’ve copied countless papers that showed no issues in Pages into Word only to have Word point out a simple mistake. Word also has better citation tools than Pages out of the box.

Why not stick to Word 2011. Unless you are using collaboration, Word 2016 is just dumped down version compared to Word 2011. That is why I can’t check the typing speed here, because it was a step back and I removed it.

Hi, did you ever find a solution to this problem?
I started using Office 2016 recently on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and Word can sometimes be very very slow while typing. Luckily it seems to be limited to documents saved in the old .doc format, but it’s an annoyance nevertheless.

Thank you.

Same problem. You type, and seconds later the letters appear.

I found the problem only occurs if the document is saved in .docx format. If you save as Word 97–2004 Document (.doc) there is no typing delay. But then you’re limited to the older formatting and features of Word, which can be even more infuriating.

For those who say just use Apple Pages, I agree. And I have been for the last 4 years. Until now, I need the equation editor in Word to collaborate with my colleagues.

This is very strange: as I wrote in my previous post, my feeling is exactly the opposite!
On my MacBook the problem is more present in files where «Compatibility mode» is shown in the title bar, i.e. .doc files and .docx files saved with compatibility option active.
I can say, for sure, that in some cases I had the problem with a «compatibility mode» file, I saved it as standard .docx, and the problem disappeared.

But anyway based on my tests the issue is not limited to that.
I have some files with a not-basic layout, long tables etc., where typing is very slow even in docx format.
I also tried starting my Mac in safe/clean mode but the problem remained, so it’s not caused by background apps.

It’s true that draft mode speeds up typing quite a lot, but then we’re going back 20 years before real WYSIWYG was here… it’s not a solution.

I have the same problem, but it only happen to files that open in the «compatibility mode» (can be seen on the top bar, next to the file name). Then simply I convert the document (file > convert document), and the problem disappear.

I have the same problem. It seems as though I type too fast for word to handle so there is a bit of a delay in the time the text appears on the screen, from several tests my typing speed appears to be 140wpm. It’s not a huge annoyance because I don’t do a lot of typing in the time being, but I can see it becoming one very soon when I get back to work. Are there any actual workarounds at the moment?

  • #20

I have the exact same problem on my RMbP13. It’s not text smoothing, as sometimes it is fine and at others it is not.

I switched to 2016 because of the annoying disappearing footnotes saga with Word 2011, but Word 2016 is even more annoying with the delayed typing!

Hopefully MS put out a fix!

  • #21

Yes have the same problem occurring somewhat randomly but most often with long documents (+50 pages). I would’n’t hold my breath waiting for Microsoft to fix it; Word 2016 has been out for a year and even updated to 64 bit, without any noticeable performance improvements. It is incredible that they cannot make a decent version of one of the most popular applications on the Mac and I have gone back to Word 2011. Word on Windows is just so much better even on very low spec hardware, but I like the Mac hardward and iPhone integration.

I think it might be that Microsoft records every keystroke now. I see the same thing in equivalence with the Windows version. Slow typing on screen.

The absence of the accented letter on QWERTY keyboards doesn’t have to be frustrating. This walkthrough will show you a few ways to type the letter «é» on an English-language keyboard on Windows and Mac.

How to insert a special character by copying and pasting?

The simplest solution when it comes to inserting a special character is to copy and paste the character from the internet to where you need it. Here are the most commonly used accented letters:

Upper Case:

À Á Â Ä Å Ã Æ Ç É È Ê Ë Í Ì Î Ï Ñ Ó Ò Ô Ö Ø Õ OE Ú Ù Û Ü Ý Y

Lower Case

à á â ä å ã æ ç é è ê ë í ì î ï ñ ó ò ô ö ø õ oe ú ù û ü ý y

How to type the letter ‘É’ on a Windows PC?

To type the letter «é» on a PC, press and hold the ALT key and type 0233.

In Microsoft Word, press CTRL + ‘, followed by the letter «e». This should make the letter «é» appear in your document.

How to type the letter ‘É’ on a Mac?

In order to make an acute accent mark appear above the standard letter «e,» start by pressing and holding the ALT key on your keyboard. Next, press the letter «e»; this should make the acute accent appear.

To use a lowercase accented «e,» simply release the ALT key and press the letter «e» once more. To use an uppercase accented «e,» release the ALT key, press and hold the SHIFT key, and press the letter «e» on your keyboard.
