Word For Mac Not Saving Since Update



Word for Mac crashes and slow performance. Word does not respond when using 'Save as Picture' WordRake add-in causing Word for Mac to crash since upgrading to Catalina (OSX 15.0) Problems launching Word for Mac 2016 (Version 16.11) FIXED Issues affecting Word for Mac features and add-ins INVESTIGATING Office documents are not rendering as. I installed Office 2016 on Mac back in September, but I have not been able to update the suite since. Not a big deal, considering I have what needed to do with the suite.

Word 365 for Mac is getting what’s called the ‘Edit PDF’ feature, already available in Word for Windows. Don’t get too excited, Word can’t really edit a PDF file and the results might not be what you want.

The ‘editing PDF’ feature is now available to Office for Mac insiders (v 16.29 build 190830 and later).

As we noted back in 2012, when PDF conversion came to Word 2013:

  • A common troubleshooting step is to delete the Word Data registry subkey. When you restart Word, the program rebuilds the Word Data registry subkey by using the default settings. When you delete the Word Data registry subkey, Word resets several options to their default settings.
  • Word for Windows and Mac now look substantially the same, although you may find that not all of the Windows’ features are available on your Mac. As a word processing tool, Word 2016—which, at.
  • That's why we recommend you to backup Mac data before update. If you didn't backup data and unfortunate lost data after MacOS Big Sur update, don't worry; try 4DDiG for Mac Data Recovery. This powerful Mac data recovery tool can easily recover photos, videos, documents, etc. On Mac and recover data from unbootable Mac.

“Behind the scenes, Word 2013 is actually extracting and converting the PDF content into an editable form. That means the original formatting of the document may not always be retained in the Word 2013 version. As usual, the more complex the PDF file, the more likely there’ll be formatting variations.”

Nothing has changed since then. Word 365/2019 still convert the PDF into a Word document with mixed success.  That’s not a complaint, it’s a fact of life that Microsoft glosses over. Any document conversion will have problems and especially from PDF which was never designed as an editable format.

Word’s conversion from PDF can work well, especially if the PDF was made with Word in the first place. However other PDF’s with scanned pages won’t convert in the way people expect.
