How to disable tracking of formatting changes in Word for Mac 2011?

Question

Consider such type

type Last<TProps> =
TProps extends [infer TProp]
  ? TProp
  : TProps extends [infer TProp, ... infer Rest] & PropertyKey[]
    ? Last<Rest>
    : never;

export type L0 = Last<['a']>;           // 'a'
export type L1 = Last<['a', 'b']>;      // 'b'
export type L2 = Last<['a', 'b', 'c']>; // 'c'

It work as I expected. But if I want to restrict generic parameter - it fails

type Last<TProps extends PropertyKey[]> =
TProps extends [infer TProp]
  ? TProp
  : TProps extends [infer TProp, ... infer Rest]
    ? Last<Rest> // error. 'Rest' does not satisfy the constraint 'PropertyKey[]'
    : never;

I tried to use & - it give no error, but output is not what i expected

type Last<TProps extends PropertyKey[]> =
TProps extends [infer TProp]
  ? TProp
  : TProps extends [infer TProp, ... infer Rest]
    ? Last<Rest & PropertyKey[]> // no error
    : never;

export type L0 = Last<['a']>;           // 'a'
export type L1 = Last<['a', 'b']>;      // string | number | symbol
export type L2 = Last<['a', 'b', 'c']>; // never

How I can use generic type constraint in conditional type to obtain such output

type Last<TProps extends PropertyKey[]> = ????

export type L0 = Last<['a']>;           // 'a'
export type L1 = Last<['a', 'b']>;      // 'b'
export type L2 = Last<['a', 'b', 'c']>; // 'c'

P.S. I know that in this example this constraint doesn't have much sense, but it is simpliest example that I find.

Solution 1

For Word: Go to the "Review" ribbon and click on the arrow section and select "Change tracking options". About 2/3rds of the way down, you'll see "Formatting". Just uncheck the "Track Formatting" box.

For Mac: Go to "Show Markup" on the review tab and uncheck "Formatting".

Solution 2

1. Go to Review Ribbon
2. Click on the arrow to the right of Show Markup
3. You will see the following list of options:

Comments
Insertions and Deletions
Formatting
Markup Area Highlight
Reviewers

4. Uncheck 'Formatting' and all the formatting notations will be eliminated

Solution 3

I went to the "customize tool bar" section (View --> toolbars--> Customize Toolbars and Menus), found an icon for "Accept All Changes in Document" and dragged it to my toolbar (this function eluded me everywhere else). Presto! It worked! You STILL have to uncheck "Markup" each time you enter the document, however. A royal pain.

Are you on a Mac? I'm not locating and arrow section, nor do I find a Change Tracking Options item.

My apologies. I've edited my answer to include how it's done on a Mac.

Thanks for the Mac answer, but the answer you supplied is one of the possible solutions that I said did not work in my question. Is this working for you? If so, what might be different in your environment?

[Karen927]

Are you using a template?

[WilliamKF]

Not that I know of, how would I check?

This looks like little more than a restatement of the second paragraph of the answer from a year ago. Yours may be a little clearer, but doesn't really add any information.
