One of the most useful Microsoft Word features is finally coming to Mac
Microsoft has announced that its popular predictive typing feature will soon come to Word on Mac.
The Editor Text Predictions tool anticipates your next words and suggests words or phrases as you type, potentially expediating the writing process for the slow typists among us.
Apple customers will have to exercise patience, however, with the feature not expected to be widely available until September.
Microsoft Word upgrade
When the feature does eventually roll out, Office 365 users will be able to switch it on by heading to the status bar and choosing “Text Predictions: On”.
To accept the suggested text, press the “Tab” or “Right-arrow key” on your keyboard, and continue typing. And to ignore a suggestion, just keep typing or press “Esc”, and the suggestion will disappear.
Although users of Word on Mac will celebrate the upgrade, some components of the Microsoft office software suite are having their features trimmed.

As of March 15, Microsoft 365 business plans all increased in price, with the most complete package (Microsoft 365 E3) now costing $36/user/year. Thankfully though, these pricing changes do not apply to the company’s consumer or education products.
