How to use furigana in Mac Microsoft Word

Hey! I’m trying to add phonetic alphabet above the kanji but it’s saying something is wrong or if I try this with only one word I can put but it messes up the whole text. I figured that on windows I can put furigana easily but not on Mac. Also can’t find any useful information about this problem.

    Applying furigana

    Applying furigana is a little more tricky than in windows. You need to do the following:

    Highlight the word of interest
    Select the Format->Phonetic Guide option
    In the text box at the top, type in the hiragana
    Click apply (or apply to all)
    Note you need to type the hiragana yourself, not like in word.

    Note there is an “apply to all” option, that you can use to have the furigana through the whole document; you will need to do this once the words are all written (I think).

    To remove hiragana you need to do the same thing, but select “remove”. I think this applies to all words in the document instantly.

    So it’s a bit trickier than Windows but not hard.
