'Restrict Editing' button greyed out I am using Office 365 and need to restrict editing to most of a document. I've previously had no problem before I upgraded, now the 'Restrict Editing' button is greyed out and I can't use it. Help file, index tab, item 'comments;inserting/editing/deleting/printing' gives the information about comments. On the /Insert menu, below Caption should be Bookmark, Cross reference, then Comments. /Insert /Caption will be grayed out until a captionable item is selected. If you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber then the easiest way to rename, or move, an Office file is to open the file in your Microsoft 365 desktop application, such as Word, then click the file name on the title bar. In the menu that appears you can rename the file, select a new location to move it to, or see the version history for the file. Microsoft Word toolbar options are greyed out.

Word 2011 Mac - Most of ribbon and menu greyed out I do not know how she does it and I cannot figure out how to get it out of the state. To me it looks like there is some sort of modal, but I've used expose, and also cmd+` to switch windows in the application and I cannot find any modals.

Issue

Occasionally the MathType Toolbar/Tab will disappear from the Microsoft Word Toolbar/Ribbon.

Reason

When Microsoft Office Auto-update runs and installs new updates, add-ins will occasionally be disabled and in doing so, removes any Toolbar/Ribbon additions. Depending on the version of Microsoft Word you are using, this can be easily corrected.

Solution

Before we go further, it's necessary to know precisely which version of MathType you have, and which version of Word.

  • If your version is MathType 6.7-something, but not 6.7h, please download and install MathType 6.7h before proceeding. You don't need to remove or uninstall anything, and your existing product key will still work. Just install the new one. If that doesn't fix the issue, continue…

• With Word open, click the Word menu and select About Word.If your version of Word is 15.xx but earlier than 15.39, do not proceed! These steps will not work.

• With MathType open, expand the Help menu (by clicking it), and select About MathType. Note the version number. Dismiss the About MathType dialog by clicking anywhere inside it.
• Now in Word, if your version of Word has a File tab at the far left of the ribbon, click File. If it has the 'Office button' instead of 'File', click the Office button.
  • If you see Account on the left, click it. If Account isn't there, Help should be. If so, click Help.
  • On the right, look for 'About Microsoft Word' for the version number and bit level.
  • This will reveal the version of Word and (if you're using Office 2010 or later) the bit level (32-bit or 64-bit). Example:
    Microsoft Word 2016 MSO (16.0.7127.1026) 32-bit
• Once you have confirmed your version of MathType and Word, ensure your version of MathType supports your version of Word:
  • Word for Office 365 requires MathType 6.9b or later (not 6.9 or 6.9a)
  • Word 2016 and later requires MathType 6.9b or later (not 6.9 or 6.9a)
  • Word 2010 requires MathType 6.7 or later
    (64-bit Word requires MathType 6.8 or later)
• If your version of MathType does not support your version of Word, you do not need to proceed. This is why the MathType tab is not visible. Your only option is to upgrade.
