Hello guys,
i have this issue when use word 2016 for Mac (but the same problem was for the 2011 version of office for Mac):
when i type after highlighted text, word suffer of a lag of about 1 second, so it does not record the first typings..it's very frustrating! It is like Word would analyze the selected text before starting to record other commands......
Some solutions there?
Word 2016 for Mac-OTHER, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Office 2016 for Mac
tried also with safe mode, but it's the same thing: that's like Word (and other text apps) would analyze the highlighted text for about 1/2 second and then give the possibility to edit it!
Exactly the same issue with my Word 2016 on MacBook Pro 13" highest config.
Cannot work properly at all -- updated Word to the latest, updated Mac to the latest, neither did help nor can I find any settings on performance. Really, Mircosoft, what is this ****?
I called Mircosoft support today, it seems to be an issue with the newest Mac OS.
A 'save' version should be OS X 10.10, but you need to downgrade -- which is not feasible for me.
Therefore, I'll try to install Office 2011 for Mac and see if this will work 'flawlessly'...
Shame on you Mircosoft and Apple. Releasing something essential like Office and El Capitan this buggy into public is not professional at all. I am paying for this crap.
with the new 10.11.4 versione of El Capitan i don't have issues any more with the typing delay......try you too
I have the same problem with my office 2016. This can be solved by these steps:
1. Check the file you are working on, if it was in *.doc; you should save it to the newest type *.docx.
2. If it still lag, you should go to word preference, uncheck all the grammar and spelling.
It works with mines!
I'm running 10.11.6 and have this problem. I've tried everything: reboots, turning off all grammar/spelling and saving as a docx. Nothing helps. I do transcription and translation for a living so this is a real problem. I would appreciate it if either Mac or Office could get another update to fix this problem.
I have REALLY slow typing in some documents (but not all). It's clearly a bug. There are a few work arounds:
For .DOC file format, I've noticed the font rendering is different (not as good) on non-retina displays - kinda odd.
Hope this helps.
Mark.
omg, you saved the day!
None of the above works on iMac 2016 with 32 Mb RAM.
Stupid Msoft bug.
That works, for a bit. But you have to do it again every week or so.
Abysmal Microsoft Office.
Thanks for the tip about turning off all the spelling and grammar stuff. Now my cursor moves in real time.
