Control To Replace A Word In Microsoft Word Mac

Aug 20, 2018  Hi All, I'm new to MAC as I started a new job where everyone uses MAC. I'm a whizz on Windows but sadly not at all on MAC. I have this repetitive task that I have to find and replace words in Word documents and it's tedious to open each document to replace them. Jan 23, 2011  As for word editing, mac has a very capable suite of programs bundled in what is called iWork. This is often cheaper for students, and even cheaper again if purchased with the computer. However, if you are used to using Microsoft Office, which contains programs like Word, PowerPoint and Excel, then there is a mac version of that program suite. How to use the find and replace feature in Word on a Mac. Open Microsoft Word on your Mac. Click or hover over the 'Edit' tab found in the top toolbar. Click or hover over 'Find' from the dropdown menu. Click 'Replace'. Or hold 'shift' + 'command' + 'H' on your keyboard.

The Windows keyboard has two important keys to quickly complete tasks using shortcuts. One is alternate or ALT key and the other is control or CTRL key. We have listed out more than 450 useful alt code shortcuts under the article alt key shortcuts for Windows. And in this article we listed 100+ useful control key shortcuts for Microsoft word. These shortcuts are tested with Word 2010 and mostly work with many other office packages like PowerPoint and Excel.

Control Key Shortcuts for Microsoft Word

The default Microsoft Windows keyboard will have two control keys. You can hold any one of the control keys and then press other key combinations together to apply the shortcuts. For example, press CTRL + ALT + C to insert the copyright © symbol at any place in the document.

Learn how Microsoft Word 2013 content controls enable a larger range of structured document scenarios.

This topic provides information about changes to content controls in Microsoft Word 2013 and the document scenarios that those changes enable.

Structured documents

Mac

Control To Replace A Word In Microsoft Word Mac Word

Structured documents are documents that control where content can appear on a document, what kind of content can appear in the document, and whether that content can be edited.

Here are some common scenarios for structured content in Microsoft Word:

  • A legal firm needs to create documents that contain legal language that should not be changed by the user.

  • A business needs to create a proposal cover page where only the title, author, and date are entered by the user.

  • A business needs to create invoices where the customer data is included in the invoice at predefined regions.

Using content controls to structure a document

Content controls are Microsoft Word entities that act as containers for specific content in a document. Individual content controls can contain content such as dates, lists, or paragraphs of formatted text. Content controls help you to create rich, structured blocks of content and are designed for use in templates that insert well-defined blocks into your documents, creating structured documents.

Content controls are ideal for creating structured documents because content controls help you fix the position of content, specify the kind of content (for example, a date, a picture, or text), restrict or enable editing, and add semantic meaning to content.

Content controls in Word 2010

The following content controls are available in Word 2010:

  • Rich Text

  • Plain Text

  • Picture

  • Building Block Gallery

  • Combo Box

  • Drop-Down List

  • Date

  • Checkbox

  • Group

Word 2010 content controls enable various potential structured document solutions, but in Word 2013 content controls enable a greater range of scenarios.

Content control improvements in Word 2013

In Word 2013, content controls provide three key improvements: improved visualization, support for XML Mapping for Rich Text content controls, and a new content control for repeating content.

Improved visualization

Word 2013 allows an individual content control to appear in one of three possible states:

  • Bounding box

  • Start/End tags

  • None

Note

If not stated otherwise, this section discusses the visualization of content controls when the document is not viewed in Design Mode.You set the display mode for a content control by using the Show as drop-down list control in the Content Control Properties dialog box.

Figure 1. Content Control Properties dialog box

You can also set the display mode for a content control by using the Word 2013 object model (discussed later in New Word 2013 content control object model members).

Bounding box

The default rendering for content controls in Word 2013 is to preserve the look of content controls as they appear in Word 2007 and Word 2010; that is, as a bounding box. When a content control is set to show as Bounding Box, the display changes depending upon the following user interaction:

  • When the content control does not have the focus, no visualization occurs

  • On mouse-over, the content control appears as a shaded rectangle

Figure 2. Content control on mouse-over

  • When the content control has the focus (when the user chooses the content control), the control appears as a 'bounding box' (with a line around the content and the title showing, if a title has been set)

Figure 3. Content control with focus

Start/End tags

When the content control is set to show as Start/End tag, the tags are displayed regardless of user interaction, and the title never appears; but buttons, such as the Drop-Down List button, appear on mouse over.

Figure 4. Content control set to show as start/end tags

None

When the content control is set to show as None, the content control is not displayed.

Content control colorization

In addition to enabling a different kind of display for a content control, Word 2013 also helps you to set the color for an individual content control. You set the color of a content control by using the Color button in the Content Control Properties dialog box.

You can also set the color of a content control by using the Word 2013 object model (discussed later in New Word 2013 content control object model members).

Figure 5. Content Control Properties dialog box

Support for XML mapping for rich text content controls

Word 2013 helps you to map the content of rich text content controls and document building block content controls to the XML data store. To do this, you set the XML mapping for the content control. You can set this property by using the existing XMLMapping.SetMapping method in the object model. Within the custom XML part, the custom XML is stored as flat Open XML markup converted into a string (by using standard XML encoding), so that it can be stored as a text node in the custom XML part. However, the mapping continues to have the limitation that it can only successfully map to leaf nodes or attributes.

Note

Rich text content controls cannot contain other rich text content controls. If one exists inside of another (for example, because of file format manipulation, copy and paste, and so on), it is unlinked until it is no longer contained inside a mapped rich text control.

For more information about how to set up XML mapping, see the section New Word 2013 content control object model members later in this topic.

Supporting repeating content

In addition to visualization enhancements and support for XML mapping to rich text content controls, Word 2013 also adds a new content control that enables you to repeat content. The repeating section content control repeats the content contained within it, including other content controls.

You insert the repeating section content control around entire paragraphs or table rows. Once the control surrounds a section, you can insert copies of the section above or below the contained section.

Figure 6. Repeating section content control context menu

You can repeat the inserted section by using either the control on the end of the content control (displayed as a button with a plus sign ()) or by choosing a command on the context menu, as shown in Figure 6. The repeated content becomes a separate section of the control that you can assign a title by using the Content Control Properties dialog box.

Figure 7. Assign a section title in the Content Control Properties dialog box

Once you have given the section a title, if you select Allow users to add and remove sections in the Content Control Properties dialog box, users can add or delete the section by name.

Figure 8. Use the repeating section content control context menu to delete a section

When a repeating section content control surrounds other content controls, the enclosed content controls are repeated in each new item; but any such content controls have their contents reset to placeholder text. There are two exceptions where child control contents are preserved:

  • When a child control is a repeating section control.

  • When a child control is XML-mapped to a node outside the repeating section content control.

Figure 9. Repeating section content control containing child controls before repeat

Figure 10. Repeating section content control containing child controls after repeat

Repeating section content controls around XML-mapped controls

For XML mappings that are contained in a repeating section, Word 2013 maps them as follows.

If the mapping does not intersect with an item in the node set as part of its parent chain, the binding is an 'absolute binding' and shows the same content in all repeating section items.

If the mapping does intersect with an item in the node set as part of its parent chain, the binding is a 'relative binding', and is remapped as follows:

  • The absolute binding for the node is determined (flattening out any query expressions)─this should happen on initial mapping

  • The axis of the binding that intersects with the node set is removed

  • The remainder of the XPath is evaluated relative to the XPath of the repeating section content item

For example, the following mappings might occur:

  • The repeating section is mapped to rootnextpath

  • The control in the sample item is mapped to rootnextpath[2]baz

  • Word matches rootnextpath[2] to an item in the node set

The binding is therefore evaluated as .baz, where the base is the node of the repeating content item.

The following suggestions for working with repeating content controls can help you prevent data loss and avoid frustration.

Working with repeating section content controls that are mapped to XML data

If you insert a repeating section content control that is mapped to XML data, every time your user reopens the document, Word recreates the repeating section items, based on the information in the data store. Even if you save the document, any changes that the user makes in the repeating section items in the document that aren't also mapped into the data store are lost.

To help prevent this from happening, lock the repeating section content control and allow the user to edit only in unlocked child content controls that are mapped to the XML as well.

Binding a repeating section content control to a table

If you want to bind a repeating section content control to a table, insert the table and then the insert repeating section content control, and not the other way around. (Otherwise, you won't be able to select only the table).

Nesting repeating section content controls within a table

Nesting repeating section content controls tightly within a table (for example, when the end of the parent and child repeating section content control is in the same cell) causes the outer repeating section to be deleted when the inner section has an item added or removed.

You can prevent this from happening by adding a paragraph marker between the end of one repeating section content control and the next. To hide the paragraph marker, deselect the Show/Hide option on the Home tab of the ribbon.

Open XML File Format schema additions

The following elements were added to the WordprocessingML Open XML File Format schema.

Table 1. New elements in the WordprocessingML Open XML File Format schema for content controls

ElementDescription
<w:appearance>
<w:appearance> is a child element of <w:sdtPr>.
The following values are valid for the val attribute:
<w:appearance val= boundingBox
tagshidden.
The default value is boundingBox.
<w:color>
<w:color> is a child element of <w:sdtPr>.
The content model matches the existing CT_Color complex type. The default value is the color used in Word 2010.

New Word 2013 content control object model members

With the new enhancements and additions to content controls in Word 2013, the object model for Word has been updated to allow for programmatic manipulation of the new feature set. In addition, changes have also been made to the underlying Open XML File Format for word processing documents.

The following sections provide more information about the specific object model changes related to each content control enhancement.

Visualization enhancements

Several object model additions are included in Word 2013 for content control visualization enhancements. The following table list new members of the ContentControl object for visualization.

Table 2. New ContentControl object members

MemberDescription
. Appearance as WdContentControlAppearance
Gets or sets the visualization of the content control.
. Color as WdColor
Gets or sets the color of the content control.

The following table lists constants in the new WdContentControlAppearance enumeration.

Table 3. New WdContentControlAppearance enumeration constants

ConstantDescription
wdContentControlBoundingBox
Represents a content control shown as a shaded rectangle/bounding box (with optional title).
wdContentControlTags
Represents a content control shown as start/end markers.
wdContentControlHidden
Represents a content control that is not shown.

Code sample

The following code sample shows how to create rich text content controls and set visualization programmatically.

XML mapping

No additions were made to the Word 2013 object model to accommodate rich text mapping to XML nodes in the document data store. Instead, use the existing object model to map a rich text content control to an XML node in the document data store. Additionally, no changes were made to the underlying Open XML File Format WordprocessingML schema as part of the newly included rich text content control support specifically for XML mapping.

Code sample

The following code sample shows how to map a rich text content control to an XML node programmatically.

Repeating section content controls represented in the object model

The repeating section content control is available in the object model by using the following additions to the ContentControl object and the new RepeatingSectionItem and RepeatingSectionItemColl objects. Table 4 lists the most important new members of the ContentControl object for repeating section content controls.

Open XML File Format changes for repeating section content controls

Remove Microsoft Word From Mac

The file format representation of a repeating section content control generally uses the same element names, values, and so on as the existing XML markup; however, the <sdt> element representing the outer repeating section container exists in the Word 2013 namespace, to ensure compatibility with earlier versions of Word.
