Microsoft Word is a popular word processing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite of products. This ITS training document deals with Word 2011, which is the latest version of Word for the Mac. New Features. When you open Word 2011 for the Mac, the following screen will display: Word Training for Mac 1. Explore the Word user interface. Apr 06, 2016 I've just upgraded to Word for Mac 2016. In Word for Mac 2011, I could change my Preferences and choose not to show my name and timestamp in my Reviewing comment bubbles. This is handy, because I write so many comments that they overrun the margin space and run into a sidebar or bottom bar, which is annoying.
I've just upgraded to Word for Mac 2016. In Word for Mac 2011, I could change my Preferences and choose not to show my name and timestamp in my Reviewing comment bubbles. This is handy, because I write so many comments that they overrun the margin space and run into a sidebar or bottom bar, which is annoying. I don't want to take up the space on every single comment for my name and the timestamp. I cannot find out how to hide this information in Word for Mac 2016. I've looked under Preferences and I've fiddled with Markup Options Balloons, and nothing works yet.
Just to be clear:-) the setting you're looking for does not hide the personal information, it removes it. IOW, you can't just turn it off to restore the metadata once it's been used. In Word 2016 the setting was moved from Preferences where IMHO it never should have been in the first place - it's a per document setting, not an application preference. You'll now find it in Tools Protect Document at the bottom of the pane. Please mark HELPFUL or ANSWERED as appropriate to keep list as clean as possible ☺ Regards, Bob J. I want the setting that's available in Word for Mac 2011 under Preferences that simply toggles off the commenter name and timestamp ( hides it), as I said.

The information remains somewhere, but doesn't clutter up the margin. A user could toggle it back on if they wanted. If I had Word Mac 2011 anymore, I'd tell you exactly what it said. It was a checkbox in Preferences Reviewing under the Comment Bubbles section, and it said something like 'Show Commenter Name and Date/ Time.' All you had to do was uncheck the box, and it worked the way I want it to. At least in my usage, it has nothing to do with privacy or protecting documents.
It has to do with not filling up the entire margin and then some, causing readers to have to click into a side- or bottom-bar to finish reading the comments (or the printer to print out extra pages just of comments). I'm a writing teacher, and my comments take up a lot of space, much more so when every single comment or change I make (even adding a hyphen, which Word interprets as deleting a word and adding a new one, thus a comment bubble) is at least two lines long, the first line being my name and the time I made the change. I tried your suggestion, by the way, and all it does is change 'Patrick Madden' to 'Author' in every comment bubble, which does not help my problem in the least. The comment bubbles are cluttered with as much useless, space-filling information as before.
Thanks for trying, though. Sorry, I did misunderstand what you were looking for. Thanks for the clarification.
Unfortunately, the answer I now have to give is that the preference you seek is removed from Word 2016 for Mac. Don't hesitate to express your opinion on the exclusion & your need to have it restored by clicking the ☺︎ at the right end of Word's Ribbon. Don't expect a personal reply, but the more feedback the higher the priority. Also, provide a request @ in order to get more exposure & support from other users as well.

Click to expand.You My friend, are a genius! How can you do a batch convert to PDF from Word.
And then a Batch save as JPEG in Preview. There are 84 documents, and doing them one by one is gonna take a long, long time! (This is not actually for me, my mother is an English teacher and she is doing a project with her students where she has them write and illustrate poems, she prints them out on iron ons, and has them make pillows as Christmas presents for their parents. She does it every year, and runs into problems EVERY year, so I don't know why she keeps doing it! Guess she's just a good person Her school just upgraded to OSX yes, I know, a bit late and she could not get it to work at school.
So she said in her words f. it, i'm going to do it at home, on my printer. She still couldn't get it to work, so she calls me, her not so resident Mac Genius ) ((Little does she know, my Mac Geniusry is actually here!)). I've never used automator before but I figured this should be fairly simple to do.
Turn's out it is. Here's how to do it. First she needs to make sure that each poem is on its own page in one big word document. Then she can print to pdf and get a pdf of all the poems, each occupying it's own page. Next she needs to make and run the automator script: 1: Ask for Finder Items (She'll point it to the pdf she just made) 2: Render PDF pages as images (this will produce jpegs of each page) 3: Copy Finder Items (This will copy the jpegs to a folder on her system) 4: Flip Images (flips the images in preview and re-saves them) I just gave it a try and it produces a folder full of flipped images, each representing a page of the original word document. Hope that helps. Print mirror image I realize this is an old post, but I just figured how to do this today and just used Word (Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.5.
I made t-shirt transfers this way. So, in case someone else searches this forum, this process should work for them: 1. Open Word document File Print 2. Mark in lower left hand corner PDF menu select 'Open PDF in Preview' 3.
In Preview of document select File Take Screenshot Selection 4. Select what you want to take a screenshot of (may be image and text) 5. Save image 6. Open NEW Word document 7. Insert screenshot image (picture file) you made. Select the inserted image on the Word doc.
And under 'arrange' (Format picture menu) select the rotate button flip horizontal.
