Follow-up: Microsoft Word - Getting rid of unused fields in equations (small dotted squares)
Dear All, This is a follow-up from post https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365/microsoft-word-getting-rid-of-unused-fields-in-equations-small/m-p/4269588#M54220 (which I believe is not seen anymore since a first solution was proposed)) Apparently due to an Apr 2024 bug in Word, "placeholder" boxes in Word equations are displaying when printed or converted to PDF when they did not used to. I'm trying to get a working macro to detect such empty fields and delete them (or at least, populate them with an empty space " " so that the small dotted squares don't show anymore). I'm trying to have a working macro, unfortunately without success yet. Equations are indeed detected, if I display them I see their fields (all in 1 MsgBox). Now, the eq itself will not be "empty", some of of the eq fields might be. I cannot find a way to go through each field of each equation, and then delete (or assign " ") to each empty field. Your opinion and help on this would be most welcome! Thank you!

Dear All, I have several Word documents containing equations, and I did not use all the proposed fields. For example, an operation can have an upper limit and a lower limit, and sometimes I don't need both. The fields I didn't need, I left them blank, so they show a small dotted square in Word. Unfortuntely, the PDF and the printed version still shows those empty squares. Is there any way, without editing each of my equations (๐ฐ), to get rid of all those empty squares when I export my file to a PDF, so that they don't show when printed? Many thanks!
Word (Version 2408 build 17928.20216): "Paste Special" not availible in Keyboard Shortcuts
Hey Team, This is seriously frustrating. In previous versions of Word, it was possible to set a custom keyboard shortcut to bring up the "Paste Special" context menu. This is ubiquitous because you don't always want to use a specific paste special command (i.e. sometimes it's paste as text, or sometimes I want to paste as Picture (Enhanced Metafile). In the new Excel and Visio, "paste Special" remains a command (which I have assigned to cntrl + alt + v) but the option to remove that has been removed from Word, as a side note I see that there are now several different "paste options" which can be used, but not "PasteEnhancedMetafile" (which is an option in the paste special popup. Anyway, please add this feature back in. It's really something that keeps Office in line with the rest of the MS365 apps. Thanks!macbook air 1 mail merge problems
I just bought a MacBook Air M1. I installed office 360 โโbecause I use mail merge for my clients. I tried to use my database by merging mail but the first client does appear, if I continue merging, they appear blank or Word simply keeps thinking it takes 40 minutes to change the item. Copy the raw database to a new file and do mail merge and it worked, but it slowed down too much. is there any patch? or why is that problem? Aid

Read Aloud of Japanese text, -็
In Read Aloud of Japanese text, -็ is sometimes not properly pronounced as -TEKI, but as -MATO. For example, in ใใจใใฏๅฏพ่ฑกใจๆฌ่ณช็ใซ็ฐใชใใชใ: ่ถ ่ถ่ซ็้ๅ ใไธ็ใๆ้คใใใใฎใจใใฆ่ชค่งฃใใใใจ the first ็ is properly pronounced as TEKI in ๆฌ่ณช็ (hon sitsu TEKI), but wrongly as MATO in ่ถ ่ถ่ซ็้ๅ (cho etsu ron MATO gengan). This happens in most of the -็ words, where the root noun such as ่ถ ่ถ่ซ is modified with -็ to make an adjective, and the entire formulation, such as ่ถ ่ถ่ซ็, is not in the dictionary. In this case, it appear that the firstๆฌ่ณช็ is in the word list dictionary, whereas ่ถ ่ถ่ซ็ is treated as a sequence of nouns and็ is not recognized as a suffix (TEKI), but a separate noun (MATO). As something-็ construct is quite frequent in Japanese text, this severely impacts the read-alound quality in negative way. Can someone take a look at this issue? BTW, ChatGPT does not make any mistake in the pronunciation of something-็ at all.
Live Word Collab Changes Reverting
Our team (~5 people) is collaborating on a large "Live" document. There are many comments and suggested edits left on this document. Annoyingly, formatting changes that one user will make will frequently revert after the change is made (i.e., adjusting font style, changing text alignment, accepting suggested edits/redlines, etc.). Typed changes or changes involving characters usually don't disappear. Has this happened to anyone before? Would appreciate any insight anyone might have into any possible issues or fixes. Thanks!How can I share a word doc for review but not download?
We have an issue with reviewers downloading shared files and returning them 3-4 weeks later with markup that is out of sync with the shared version. I see how to share for review. I can share for view only - no download. Is it possible to share for review and not allow downloading?
