[ms office - o365] How to disable Editor Button/Pane in Word (Office 365)?

[Karlmash]

Hi, does anyone know how to disable the Editor Button/Pane in word (Office 365)? It's part of the Proofing Tools.

 

This is for Exam accounts where I have already disabled the other proofing tools (Spell Check/Grammar/Thesaurus etc.), however users can still access some of these functions by opening the Editor Pane.

 

Thanks

I had to disable the 'Editor' on the 'Review' tab in Word for our exam accounts this week!

 

I found the latest Office Fluent UI Command Identifiers for Office 365 (https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-fluent-ui-command-identifiers/tree/master/Office%20365/Semi-Annual).

 

In that repository there is 'wordcontrols.xlsx'.

 

In that document, you can add a filter to the 'Tab' column to 'TabReviewWord' and filter the 'Group/Context Menu Name' to 'GroupProofing'.

 

In there, you'll find the controls for the 'Proofing' section on the 'Review' tab of Word. There's a 'Control Name' of 'WritingAssistanceCheckDocument' with a 'Policy ID' of 27964. This is the ID that disabled the Editor button.

 

You can then add this ID to User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Word 2016\Collaboration Settings\Customizable Error Messages\Disable Items in User Interface\Custom\Disable commands.

 

We use the other ID's from this post: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/office-software/181129-disable-spellcheck-word-2016-a.html too.

Hello, I am looking at disabling 'Editor' too, we use Office365.

 

I have the Office2016 Fluent UI Command Identifiers (can't find a 365 version specifically) but there is not an option for 'WritingAssistanceCheckDocument' or a 'Policy ID' of 27964.

 

Have I missed something? Maybe there's a 365 version that I should find?
