Spotlight Search Mac users have an incredibly handy built-in feature that you may or may not be using: Spotlight. Spotlight lets you search both your computer and the web for files, emails, specific contacts, directions to destinations, and more. To, hit Command+Spacebar, then just type in what you’re looking for. For example, if I type in “Monkeys,” the results I get back include an Excel document with that word, plus an iTunes link for Arctic Monkeys, plus a Wikipedia link to Monkey, and a handful of websites I’ve visited that happen to also be about monkeys.

By Geetesh Bajaj, James Gordon. Mac OS X has its own keyboard shortcuts in addition to Word’s keyboard shortcuts. When you press a key or a key combination, Mac OS X searches first to see whether a task is assigned to that shortcut in Mac OS X system preferences.

In Word 2016 for Mac I am attempting to reprogram some keys and create key combinations to activate fonts I use in my everyday work, but am finding myself frustrated with its quirks. For example: I use the font Myriad Pro Semibold Italic quite a bit to emphasize terms in my lecture notes. For years, I have used the F3 function key for this purpose; but, the key needs to be reprogrammed to do this.

Here are the steps used to create this shortcut: – Using the 'Customize Keyboard' command from the pull down menu, locate 'Fonts' in the 'Categories' window on the left. Scroll down to Myriad Pro Semibold It in the 'Commands' window on the right and select it. – Press the F3 key at the 'Press new keyboard shortcut:' window. Push the 'Assign' button.

– The next window below is labeled 'Description', which is also where one begins to notice that something is not working. Instead of showing a Myriad Pro Semibold Italic preview, it shows Myriad Pro Semibold without italics. (What is even stranger is that to the right of the word 'Sample' there is a word written in Hebrew script – dugmah.) – Press OK and end the process.

Save the new shortcut to the 'Normal' template, which should make it available to all documents and templates; or, you can save it as I do to a separate template I created specifically for lectures. When I test the shortcut in a new or previously created document, it does not work properly. Pressing the F3 key will give me text in Myriad Pro Semibold, but not Myriad Pro Semibold Italic. I have tried many times now to make it work but without success. However, if I open Word 2011 and go through the same process there, the shortcut works perfectly as it always has. As nearly as I can determine, modifications to text using custom key modifications that involve italicizing text will not work in Word 2016.

I have also tried the other way to do this--creating a macro to format the text. It always fails to work properly. The macro created will reformat the text and make it Myriad Pro Semibold, but the macro will not record the actual font Myriad Pro Semibold It, nor can you get it to italicize the text using the italicize command separately. As a Mac user, the thing I've come to expect with Microsoft Office for Mac is to assume from the beginning that upgrading is not going to be a simple process. For someone like myself who has created custom templates upon he relies, it is inadvisable to upgrade during the middle of a semester. Always.always wait until the break between the semesters or the summer to do any upgrading.

Another thing I have learned is that I will likely have to reprogram all my macros and keyboard shortcuts (about 12-15 total) because whoever wrote the previous version of Office for Mac has returned to the planet from which they came; and, they have sent down replacements from another planet to create the latest version of Office for Mac!:-) Neil. Hi Neil, I would like to confirm a few things to move forward: 1. Please try saving the shortcut to the normal.dotm template if you haven't already and see if the issue persists. If you have tried it, I would like to confirm if the issue persists. Try using different variations of a first-party font family and see if the issue persists. Manually select the problematic font (Myriad Pro Semibold Italic) instead of using the keyboard shortcut and see if it also outputs the Myriad Pro Semibold font. Please also make sure your Office 2016 for Mac applications are up to date and provide us with the version.
