I find it SO annoying when Command + h doesn't hide an application. Somehow Microsoft's developers seemed to find a way to break that functionality on most Office apps. Anyone know why this is? I've seen this behavior across many different versions, but currently I am on 10.9.3 on OS, and Office 2011.

To clarify, this is not every time, but about half the time that hide fails to hide an app.

    The cmd-h works on my MBA 10.9.3, with MS office 2011 word app. So give us more information to help you.

    Same here, cmd-H works with my office apps (just tested with Excel, Outlook and Word). My Mac is 10.9.3 and the Office apps are 14.4.2

    Third "same here." Do other windowing shortcuts work, such as "command +m?" Test this behavior in another user account as well. The guess account will suffice.

  • It is intermittent, it works for me right now, but didn't an hour ago. I have seen this behavior since 10.6, maybe earlier. I don't know what causes it, but it's practically an every day occurrence, just not consistent. OS X and Office are the only constants I can think of,

    @GreggLeventhal Test the shortcuts in a separate user account. Yes.
