- Word For Mac 2011 Italic Text Disappearing In Word
Word 2011 is a black spot on Microsoft's reputation that is still in beta testing; it doesn't deserve to have the same name as its Windows counterparts, which are faster, stabler, easier to use, and more efficient. Office 2011 for Mac All-in-One For Dummies. If you liked this tutorial, do look at this book, authored by Geetesh Bajaj and James Gordon. This book is the single most comprehensive content for Microsoft's latest Office suite offering for Mac users. (Font type, font size, tabs, italics, line spacing, etc.) Any new text you copy and paste into your document, make sure you paste it as text only without its outside formatting or you run the risk of recorrupting your document and losing your cursor again. Issue with Font Italics in Microsoft Word - Office 2011 for Mac I'm operating MacOS Sierra 10.12.1, using Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. In Microsoft Word only (this doesn't happen in powerpoint, for instance), whenever I try to make text in the system font Avenir Next Regular italicized, the text disappears.
I'm sure there's an easy solution to this one, but it's such a specific situation that it's hard to Google for it. What happens is this: In Word, I press ctrl-I. I type a word. I press ctrl-I again, because the word is in parentheses so I need to put a non-italic closing bracket right after it; the italics formatting vanishes. What I want is this: (word), what I get is this: (word).Is there a way in Word to just switch off the styled input, without removing the style from the previous word? In fact, why is that option set as a default at all? It's very annoying.

If you are getting bored while changing
style
then you can do 1 thing,first write that word completely and then double-click on that word which you want ITALIC
and now press CTRL+I
, this will change style
of only selected word nor braces
also.Ex. It will output,
(word)

I see that this is an old thread, but I believe I have the answer:
Go to File | Options | Advanced. Under Editing options, UNCHECK the box for 'When selecting, automatically select entire word.' This should resolve the issue.
(This is in Word 2010 by the way.)

The text cursor, or caret, is normally in the visible form in applications at the start of its display cycle. It then goes to the flashing sequence once you stop moving it with arrow keys or typing. However, in Word 2011 I'm constantly frustrated because the cursor disappears, or defaults to the invisible state of the flashing sequence, while I'm typing or moving it. This makes it painfully difficult to edit text without using the mouse. As I write this post and keep going back to word I'm noticing that it seems erratic as to what behavior it's acting. I think that it stays in whichever state it was last in, which 50% of the time is invisible.
I've since changed the blink rate to 200ms via changing the default in Word's plist file. This helps a little in my frustration, but the behavior really needs fixed.

It doesn't appear to be a problem on documents created locally. It seems to be an issue with documents I've got from elsewhere, quite possibly from other operating systems.

I noticed the problem when I tried working on a document I created working on a PC using Windows 8. So your theory on operating systems may be valid.
I opened a blank document and copied the content out of the dysfunctional one and voila... my cursor came back.

In my case, the copy/paste of the document did not work. But after a bunch of tries, I found a workaround:
Move the mouse pointer outside the Table area!

Yeah I know it sounds weird. But if I use the keyboard arrows to move the cursor in a table cell while the mouse pointer is located inside that table, the cursor will annoyingly start disappearing.
This seems related to the Move icon appearing in the upper-left corner of the table when you move in the mouse pointer, which keeps switching on/off when you use the keyboard.
BTW I'm using Word 2011 v14.4.8 (latest as of now).

If it's not affecting locally created documents, could it have to do with Compatibility mode? Try re-saving the doc in the latest native .docx format and re-opening.

I had the same issue but it was solved easy. You are probably using a .docx extension if you save as your file to a .doc format the issue will go. I did not test but i think it will work if your original file is a .doc format and you save it as a .docx.

My screw up appeared to be from copy from gmail into word doc for mac yosemite, google search that worked was: copy the faulty doc into a new 'local' file. fixed it.
