TotalSpaces 2 and Microsoft Office

TotalSpaces

Hi Stephen,

I wanted to follow up with you to see if you’ve found any solutions to the ill behaving Office applications?

Best,
Kevin

To be more specific, I’m still having challenges with…

  • sporadic space changes between PP documents open in different spaces
  • inability to use the “move current window” hotkey to move Word documents between spaces

Thanks!
Kevin

Hi, not much progress on this I’m afraid.

The difficulty is ignoring the unwanted space changes (the spurious ones from MS apps) without ignoring the wanted ones.

If we prevent space changes that come from the system then things like cmd-tab won’t work (or just clicking on an app in the dock for that matter).

It may be that we could make some kind of experimental mode that would do this though.

Yes, it sounds challenging trying to clean up the unwanted space changes. However… I don’t use cmd-tab or the dock so not sure if I would miss these features. Not sure if I’m alone in this regards or if others would like this type of ‘experimental mode’.

Hi Stephen,

Just wanted to let you know that TotalSpaces 2 seems to be working perfectly with the pre-release of Office 2015 for Mac.

So problems solved!

Best,
Kevin
