Hope this helps John McGhie, Microsoft MVP (Mac Word), Consultant Technical Writer. You can set a default language, you cannot default to "Do not check". "Do not check" cannot be set as a document default. From which defaults the Normal style will inherit the setting. The "Default" button sets the language defaults for the Normal Template - and, in Word 2016, the language of the document defaults. Make sure you save the style to your template so you can re-use it. If you apply that to the table, it will bring in the no proofing setting every time. You may consider creating a "No Proofing" character style. A table cannot have a "language" specification, so if you select the whole thing, the language and don't check will always come back as undefined. There does seem to be an issue in the operation if you select the entire table.
To switch off proofing, you need to: 1) Select the text 2) Go to Tools>Language 3) Assign a language 4) Check the 'Do not check' button 5) OK it. You can go into Table>Properties>Options and turn off "Automatically resize to fit contents" or you can read the same control from the Ribbon>Table Layout>Autofit button. You can go into Table>Properties>Options and turn off 'Automatically resize to fit contents' or you can read the same control from the Ribbon>Table Layout>Autofit button. If you use either of the AutoFit options, they will stay active until you turn them off. Word 16 does have a little collection of insects, but I think what you are experiencing is "working as designed". Word 2016 is the buggiest application I have ever dealt with. To allow me to run spellchecker without re-setting this preference. Every time I have to pull down the Tools menu to Language and click off the box that says "don't check spelling and grammar." Even when I click "default," Word 2016 refuses I am losing a lot of valuable work time setting and re-setting my tables.Īnd Word 2016 never remembers that I want to use the tool for checking spelling. And every time Word 2016 disregards my my settings and restores its own unwanted preferred formatting. Once or twice in the last couple of days WordĢ016 has merely re-set the table to the width it had before I used AutoFit. Most of the time Word 2016 shrinks the columns to maybe a millimeter in width. I go through these tables, uncheck all these boxes, tell Word to AutoFit the table, and it does.īut, then, if I do anything with the table, even something as simple as clicking the cursor inside one cell, Word 2016 goes nuts. Word sets a check mark in the box for preferred cell.Īnd just within the last half hour it has started setting a check mark for preferred row. Word sets a minus mark in the box for preferred column. Word sets a check mark in the box for preferred width. When I paste my tables into a Word 2016 document, Word insists on setting the formatting in this manner:
The last step is to toggle the field back to the text table by pressing Shift+F9.
WORD 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS REFORMATING AFTER UPDATE UPDATE
Typically I get my tables from two sources: my own Excel files and a particular website. To do so, click Update Table, click the Update Entire Table option ( Figure E ), and then click OK. Using tables in Word 2016 is a major frustration.
