Hello, I'm encountering an annoying issue with the Word app on my Mac. Whenever I open a document with hyphenation activated, I receive the following error message: "Word hyphenation feature is not available. Run the Microsoft Office Setup program, install this feature, and then try again." Additionally, attempting to activate "Automatically hyphenate document" in a new document yields no results. I've unchecked the "Don't hyphenate" option under paragraph options, tried reinstalling Word, attempted saving the document as a .doc instead of .docx, and reached out to Support, but they were unable to resolve the issue. It's crucial for me to have this function working, as it affects the layout of documents created with it enabled. I'm using Microsoft 365, Word Version 16.81 (24011420), on a MacBook Air M2 running MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71). Has anyone else encountered this problem on a Mac? On Windows, everything works fine, and I've never had any issues with this function. Thank you!2.9KViews0likes5CommentsWord 2019 for Mac searching in Word document for stray fonts
I am working on a book length document which is intended to use only two fonts, Calisto MT 11pt and Perpetua 12pt the latter very much less than the former. The pdf from this file when analysed by Adobe Acrobat revealed fonts other than these. I have by checking certain parts of the document found two lines in Cambria, which I changed to Calisto MT. I need to be able to search for the fonts which Adobe identified and correct them. It is almost impossible to do this visually especially with Cambria and Calisto being so alike. I recall being able to do this several years ago for another book in Word 2011 for Mac by using the Advanced Find and Replace. I just can't do it now in Word 2019 for Mac. I realise that select all, change font etc is possibility but with two fonts both needed it becomes less attractive as I don't wish to disturb pagination as will happen due to global point size changes, I am in very late stages before printing. I should be most grateful for a simple guide as to how to do it in Find and Replace; I only need Find a Font actually' Many thanks Spencer330Views0likes0CommentsCreate Word Plugin to Insert remote content in remote SharePoint Library into local Word document
I am planning to create a Word Plugin to insert content (Word, PowerPoint) located in an external SharePoint Library into an existing Word document Here are the various participants Local User -> local Word Doc -> Word Plugin -> External SharePoint Library -> External Word Doc 1, 2 Here, is the proposed workflow of how the plugin should work User installs plugin in local Word on Windows / macOS User opens local Word and plugin is installed User clicks on plugin icon in toolbar in local Word and is asked to select destination SharePoint document library Plugin checks if user is already authenticated and if yes, then shows the user the SharePoint document library If user is not authenticated, plugin proceeds to authenticate user (using Microsoft 365 built-in auth flow - email, password, MFA if present) Document library can be accessed and is viewable after authentication User can click in Word document where they would like to insert the content User clicks on plugin, SharePoint library is displayed, they select an external word document within destination SharePoint library User inserts external word document within current word document Contents of external word document are inserted into existing word document Can anyone provide some guidance on What would be involved (prerequisite knowledge, languages, SDKs)? (I've never created a plugin before) How to get started with this? (Resources) How would this work with both Windows and macOS?630Views0likes1Comment
