Remove Metadata From Mac Word Effective with Office 365 for Mac there is no longer an option to remove metadata; the instructions below do not apply. By default Mac Word should be removing personal information on save. Fully Automating Inspect Document with Save. There’s no direct equivalent of Inspect Document in Word’s VBA but it’s possible to combine commands. In fact, a VBA function gives you more options. This custom function ends with a Save command.

Because add-ins are developed using HTML and JavaScript, they are designed to work across platforms, but there might be subtle differences in how different browsers render the HTML. This article describes how to debug add-ins running on a Mac.

Debugging with Safari Web Inspector on a Mac

If you have add-in that shows UI in a task pane or in a content add-in, you can debug an Office Add-in using Safari Web Inspector.

To be able to debug Office Add-ins on Mac, you must have Mac OS High Sierra AND Mac Office Version: 16.9.1 (Build 18012504) or later. If you don't have an Office Mac build, you can get one by joining the Office 365 Developer Program.

To start, open a terminal and set the OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras property for the relevant Office application as follows:

• defaults write com.microsoft.Word OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras -bool true

  Problem solved!Beware that all the operations had to be performed very quickly between clicking 'No' which removed the message box for about 5 seconds, before it re-appeared again! I work remotely 99% of the time and never had this problem until I came into the corporate office and hopped on their internal WiFi. Outlook on mac keeps asking for password.

• defaults write com.microsoft.Excel OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras -bool true

• defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras -bool true

• defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook OfficeWebAddinDeveloperExtras -bool true

Then, open the Office application and sideload your add-in. Right-click the add-in and you should see an Inspect Element option in the context menu. Select that option and it will pop the Inspector, where you can set breakpoints and debug your add-in.

Note

If you're trying to use the inspector and the dialog flickers, update Office to the latest version. If that doesn't resolve the flickering, try the following workaround:

1. Reduce the size of the dialog.
2. Choose Inspect Element, which opens in a new window.
3. Resize the dialog to its original size.
4. Use the inspector as required.

Clearing the Office application's cache on a Mac

Add-ins are often cached in Office for Mac, for performance reasons. Normally, the cache is cleared by reloading the add-in. If more than one add-in exists in the same document, the process of automatically clearing the cache on reload might not be reliable.

To help ensure that your document enters publication without any regrets, Word 2016 offers a tool called the Document Inspector. It’s designed to remove certain items from your document, such as comments, hidden text, revision marks, and other items that might be necessary for document production but unwanted for publication.

Follow these steps to give your document one last swipe before you commit it to paper or silicon:

1. Save your document.
   Always save before performing a document inspection. Some of the changed items cannot be reversed, in which case the saved copy serves as a backup.
2. Click the File tab.
   The Info screen appears. If not, click Info on the left side of the window.
3. Click the Check for Issues button and choose Inspect Document.
4. If you haven’t recently saved your document, you’re prompted to do so; click Yes.
   The Document Inspector dialog box appears, shown on the left. It lists items you might have overlooked or forgotten about. You can add or remove check marks to direct the inspector to find or ignore specific items.
5. Click the Inspect button.
   Word scours the document, checking for those items you selected in the Document Inspector dialog box. A summary appears, listing items of concern, as shown in the right.
6. Click the Remove All button to purge your document of the unwanted items.
   Repeat this step as necessary.
7. Click the Close button.
8. Examine the document.
   Look to ensure that none of the changes did something unintended.

In case something untoward happened and you can’t undo the action, do not save the document! Close it, and then open the copy you saved in Step 1. That’s your best avenue for recovery.

The purpose of the Document Inspector is to ensure that unwanted items don’t remain in your document before you release it into the wild. This holds true especially for electronic documents.
