Word 365 on the MAC not spell checking comments
Stefan_Blom To turn autocorrect on for Word 365, you mentioned modifying the Comment Text style. How would I access the Comment Text style
Thank you,
@Tim Giles
Hello Tim_Giles
In older version of Word, changing Comment text style was possible. Not so in the latest O365. I raised a ticket to MS to have that changed (visual accessibility), but they replied that for "security issues" this is not possible. What a load of crap :(.
Anyway.
- Hit Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S. This will open Style task pane.
- Place your cursor in the comment box. This should automatically highlight the appropriate style in the Style pane.
(If not, go to Manage Styles (the icon with a capital A with a green tick), go to the 'Recommend' tab and if your cursors is still in the comment box, the style should be highlighted. Click on 'Show'.)
- In the Style pane, when you hover over the highlighted style, it will give you a down-pointing arrow meaning there is a drop-down menu. Click on that one and click on 'Modify'. There you make the sought after changes.
However, again a little reminder, the current version of Office 365 will let you make changes in the Comment text style, but the changes won't show. 😞
Oh, and BTW, unless you post the change, the Comment Text style won't show. 😞
Huh, just tried it. I am on Current Channel, and MS even greyed out the options!!!, just to show you CANNOT make changes to Comment Text. Well, there goes visual accessibility :(.
