- Word for Mac has a built-in autosave feature called AutoRecover which is switched on by default. This means that Word is quietly saving the document you are working on without you needing to.
- Normally, the background of a Word document in Office 2011 for Mac is white, but you can change the background color — and even apply document theme colors to it. You have to use Print Layout view in Word 2011 for Mac for this to work, so if you’re not already in Print Layout view, click the Print Layout view button at the lower-left corner.
If you plan to share the document with people who use an earlier version of Word, you might want to work in compatibility mode and leave the document in its current file format. This is because other people may be unable to edit parts of a document that you create by using new or improved features in Word for Mac 2011 and Word 2016 for Mac.
Step 1:
Open your document in Microsoft Word 2011 and click on the Review tab.
Step 2:
In the Tracking section, you should see Final Showing Markup is selected. You must be in this view to see all changes made by your editor. If you are in a different view, click this icon and scroll to find Final Showing Markup.
Step 3:
Here, the Track Changes icon is highlighted as 'On.' If Track Changes is on, you must disable this feature before you continue. If you do not disable this feature, all of the revisions that you make to your document will be tracked.
Step 4:
Once the Track Changes feature has been disabled, you can use the Accept, Reject, Previous and Next buttons to toggle from one correction to another.
Step 5:
Click Next to move to the first proposed correction. In the screenshot below, the first proposed correction is highlighted.
Step 6:
Clicking Accept will replace the original text with the editor’s correction and will automatically advance to the next proposed correction. In the screenshot below, “editor’s” has been replaced by “editors” and the cursor has advanced to the next proposed correction.
To accept all changes in the document without reviewing the proposed changes, click on the drop-down arrow next to the Accept button. Selecting Accept All Changes in Document will replace the original text with all of the editor’s proposed changes. The editor’s comments will need to be removed separately.
There are few Office experts around here. As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.
Mac Word Document Inspector
Microsoft did a format change in 2016 that made their forums harder to use by hiding sub-forums including the one for Mac users. Once you get to the Word section from the main page, there are filters on the left edge of the web page that will limit the responses to those relevant to Office:Mac.
