Microsoft Word (for Apple) dictionary not working

I have recently noticed that my dictionary on Word will not let me add new words to it, it previously allowed me to do so, it is on custom dictionary. I am not aware of having changed any of the settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

This would be better posted on the [MS Office for Mac forums|http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums>.

  • My Microsoft Word for Mac hasn't worked since I downloaded Yosemite. documents can't be save, edited or closed

    My Microsoft Word for Mac hasn't worked since I downloaded the upgrade to Yosemite.  Documents can't be saved, edited or closed

    Hi There,
    I have similar issues with the whole MS Office solution since I "upgraded' towards Yosemite:
    when I use Cmd+W or the "close" menu option to close a Word file, Word crashes down (I always send a message to Microsoft but I guess this is more related to Yosemite or to its installation; consequence is it become very difficult to close a file, as it re-opens it the next time :-(
    same thing for Excel and PowerPoint
    When I try to save in PDF format a Word file containing several sections, it produces one PDF file per section - wasn't before Yosemite
    Excel crashes down much more often than before because of lack of memory
    Well, if someone has a suggestion, I would be grateful, 'cause it is becoming actually boring - and counter-productive !

    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • Apple dictionary not working in ios7

    still i am unable to use apple dictionary in my ipad retina ios7  , but oxford dictionary  working  perfectly , any one is here to help me?

    The reason why the Tap-Dictionary does not work with iOS7 is because iOS7 is failing to make the required Bookmarklet.  When one presses the "click here" to integrate the Tap-Dictionary with Safari it is supposed to make a Bookmarklet in the Bookmark folder.  You can check this by going through your bookmarks and noting its absence.  Fortunately it is possible to generate your own Bookmarklet.  Rather than go to a long explanation on how to do it, here is a link to a page where the explanation has already been given.
    http://static.chrisbray.com/bookmarklets/
    The actual code is not given on this site, only the method of doing it so I will now give the code to use (in place of the code used on the example page).
    Tap-Dictionary Bookmarklet - don't try to type this code; just select it and copy it.
    javascript:(function(){if(document.getElementById('__td_display')){return;};wind ow.__td_id='fb3963062dcb4cf8eaa55dd81671c56863d6094e';window.__td_lang='en';wind ow.__td_base='http://iostranslate.appspot.com/js/';var __td_d=document;var __td_s=__td_d.createElement('script');__td_s.setAttribute('src',__td_base+'wikt .js?x='+(Math.random()));__td_s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');__td_d.bo dy.appendChild(__td_s);})()
    When the Bookmarklet has been made and placed in the bookmarks folder just go to the page you want the definition of and select the bookmark you've just generated to activate it and a tap on any word will show a pop up definition in yellow.

  • Microsoft Word for Mac will not open when I am logged into my main username.

    If I log on as a guest I can open microsoft word. I spoke with Microsoft technical support and they said that there was some problem on my mac username. What do I need to do to figure out what is wrong with this username that I cant open my program. Or how do I transfer my word files from this username to a new username that I create?

    You may also want to search/ask in the forums run by the people who make the product which is causing you problems:

  • Pages for iPad dictionary not working at all

    Hi, I just downloaded Pages for iPad. When I highlight a word, then right arrow, then define, it doesn't do anything. I'm French and if I do the same thing in an English document or an English ebook, it defines the word immediately.
    Someone knows the solution ?

    Are you expecting to see a French dictionary?  If so, that's not available, only English and Japanese, as stated in the info published by Apple:

    To ask Apple to add more languages, you can go here:

  • 1080p for Apple Devices not working in Compressor

    Was happy to see the new settings for the ATV3 in Compressor, but it doesn't work.  I keep getting a qucktime error -108 about a third of the way into processing.  Plenty of memory is showing in Activity Monitor.
    I've tried both a short and long movie, with quickcluster turned on and off, both fail.
    I've tried all the suggested fixes I can find.  Reinstalling Compressor, Stop/Starting/Resetting sharing, deleting preferences.
    The same movies work fine with the previous Apple TV/Device settings.
    Share from FCPx to ATV3 works, but it extremely slow for the longer movies, and I want to use Compressor and the quickcluster.
    Is anyone else having this problem.

    Some people (including me) have reported flakey changes in sharing after updating. (My issues, however, were broader than just Apple Device presets.)
    If I understand your description correctly, sharing is working – just not for one preset – so it's questionable whether it's even Qmaster-related.
    You've already tried the fixes I would have suggested – except you might also try Digital Rebellion's Compressor Repair.
    Finally, take a look at this thread and see whether David's method works for you.
    Good luck.

  • Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

    Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
    I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

    I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
    I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

  • Lion - 2004 MS Office for Mac will not work

    My 2004 version of Microsoft Office for Mac will not work in Lion. I suspect because this is a PowerPC application. My question is this:
    Is there any program out there which will map the PowerPC to an Intel format? Other than trying to seel more products, I am surprised that Apple does not supply a mapping program for products made by Microsoft for the Apple devices.

    Eric, can you tell me where please? It's not mentioned on the Lion compatibility pages at all. (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html) nor on the 'how to upgrade' page (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/)
