MS words not working on new Macbook Air I transferred all data fr.om an old Mac to a new one (Macbook Air 2023) and everything seemed to be in order. Yesterday, however, I discovered that MS Word (Office 365) crashes all the time and cannot be used. At first it opens, but when I click on the file and try to write, colored cursor wheel starts spinning and I can't do anything. There is no other option but to force quit Word. This happens to new blank Word fail and to old transferred Word files. I have checked for updates (MS Office programmes are up to date), I reinstalled Word, tried to look guidelines from web and I tried the suggested solutions, but so far nothing has helped to resolve this issue. What would help? On old Mac all Word files work perfectly and with other MS programmes (Excel, PowerPoint) there is no such problem. Please help!

How to fix the "Microsoft Word Can't be Opened" error on Mac I have been using Microsoft word fine up until a few days ago and now I keep getting this message: The application “Microsoft Word” can’t be opened. I have tried updating the app itself and it says it's up to date and I even updated (OS 14.4.1) and restarted the laptop but nothing has changed and it still won't open. All other 'office' apps are working fine for some reason it's just word. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unable to open Microsoft Word Format Document, Custom Margins windows in Ventura 13.3.1 I have a 2020 Macbook Air with Ventura 13.3.1. In Word (which I just updated, BTW; version 16.72), when I go to Format>Document, no dialog box opens. Same thing when I go to Layout>Margins>Custom Margins and Layout>Size. There may be more dialog boxes I can't open, but I am not yet aware of them. Does anyone know of a fix?
