The Force Touch "Lookup" function does not work in Microsoft Word in my new M1.

This is quite ironic, since I only ever use Lookup while writing (to look up for synonyms).

The weird thing is that Lookup still works with its dedicated shortcut (ctrl+cmd+D), and works in any other context.

Using Lookup for synonyms is really key to my writing routine, so I would like to ask:
- Since Force Touch does not work, is there any way to restore the "triple tap" gesture for Lookup, which works so well on older Macs?
- If not, is there any other way to fix it? I would really prefer using a trackpad gesture over using keyboard shortcuts (I bought a Mac after all!)
PS: I am running the latest Microsoft Word on the latest version of Monterey

Hmm.... In Microsoft Word For Mac version 16.59 (volume license and 365 subscription), I see you can perform a Smart Lookup via (CTRL+CMD+L), if you click the small more link there are Synonyms listed and when you right-click a highlighted word there is a Synonyms menu of choices and selecting one will change the word to the synonym of choice.

Force-clicking on a word in macOS Apps results in a preview from the Dictionary App. But Microsoft chose to implement their own dictionary, thesaurus, etc. Sorry, seems you are stuck with Word and Microsoft's design decisions. You might be able to find a way to code a macro and a custom keypress with some considerable effort or you can just right-click and go to Synonyms which will be listed.

Does the touch bar predictive text function on a MacBook pro work when using Microsoft word. I seem to think mine was and now it is not. If it should work, how can I get the touch bar to suggest words. The bar is working with regard to a lot of the formatting options but doesn't show a keyboard icon and won't predict words. How turn off one particular keyboard shortcut in Word for Mac
I'm very keyboard-centric and use an Omoton full keyboard with my iMac 24" and macOS Monterey. When writing in Word for Mac I often use Option-Shift-[Left-Arrow] and Option-Shift-[right-arrow] to select text one word at a time. However, my fingers sometimes slip and I end up doing Control-Shift-[left arrow] and Control-Shift-[right arrow] instead which seems to set a different style on the current paragraph. I don't see those shortcuts described anywhere, but it definitely happens. Is there a way I can turn off that those two keyboard shortcuts that I sometimes mistakenly press?
Hi there, Can anyone please tell me how to page up and page down in MS Word using the MacBook Pro trackpad? I am able to do this in Acrobat Reader by simply selecting 'Fit One Full Page' from the drop-down menu next to the icon that looks like a page. After that every time I flick the trackpad up or down with two fingers it simply 'pages up' or 'pages down' for me. But I cannot seem to get this to work on MS Word, unless I hold down the Fn key and then press the up or down arrow key. But is there a way of doing this using the track pad? I have attached a picture of the icon on Acrobat if that helps at all. Thank you.

I don't recall Word ever being able to force click and display dictionary or synonym information. But it if it did in prior versions it no longer does so. Since Microsoft Office for Mac 2016, the software has gone through a complete rewrite by Microsoft. Many older features didn't make the cut in the transition.

You'll need to take this topic up with Microsoft. Apple has no control over how Word has implemented their word processor. Since Microsoft is using their own code instead of using the Apple supplied API's various features that Apple provides to applications won't be available. It seems Microsoft has developed their own similar features in regards to dictionary, thesaurus, and synonyms, etc. Microsoft has apparently cut a deal with the Oxford University Press for access to the Oxford English Dictionaries. Apple uses a similar New Oxford American dictionary and thesaurus in macOS but Microsoft is rolling their own solution here.

Microsoft Word does not use the Apple macOS Dictionary, pressing Ctrl+CMD+L opens the Word Smart Lookup right-hand sidebar window. Right-clicking a word in Microsoft Word offers a Synonyms menu listing all the synonyms. Instead of force clicking, use one of those two options.

If Ctrl+CMD+L opens Launchpad instead, you can turn that off in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Launchpad & Dock. Uncheck the "Show Launchpad" option which is mapped to Ctrl+CMD+L. Doing that allows Word to use that keyboard shortcut.

As to the BetterTouchTool, that software offers you the option to create keyboard shortcuts and gestures within the tool that can execute macros to help enhance your user interaction with the computer. The BetterTouchTool needs to be running so it can detect those custom key shortcuts and gestures then it will run the macros. If BetterTouchTool can do what you want in regards to Force Touching to perform Ctrl+CMD+L then perhaps you should use BetterTouchTool.

Or you can open the Dictionary App on macOS and copy/paste a word from Microsoft Word and run lookups that way.

Thanks, but I don't see how this could be the right explanation. If Microsoft was forcing us to use their own dictionary and we were "stuck with their design decisions", as you put it, it's not clear why:

we can still use Lookup in word (with the keyboard shortcut) to browse the OS's dictionary

we can seamlessly use paid third-party apps to make Force Touch work in Word (see here )

Since we can use the keyboard shortcut, it doesn't look like Lookup is inactive in Word.

It looks like the problem is specific to Force Touch, and reversibly so. I'd just like to find a solution that doesn't involve third-party apps.
