Continuously receiving this message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Word keeps crashing whilst I am working from a document, and using formatting tools. Below is the accompanied error report. It also says that it will attempt to recover my work, but never does. Would anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it? Thank you.

I am a newby to the mac. I experienced many crashes with Word for the Mac with a VBA program in Word.
I don't believe these crashes are an error in Microsoft but are due to a bug in the Mac.
Of all those numerous crashes I kept the log file as generated by the Word, similar to that here above.
I noticed that all those crashes occur on or around the same time.
I know, the following sounds weird, but give it a chance.
Your crash was on 19 minutes past an hour.
I had 3 crashes on 19 minutes past an hour.
Here is my list of crash time. I think this is at least remarquable.
Well, perhaps someone knows something about maths and can calculate whether this is just a coincidence.

  • How can I stop syncing error message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    On my Mac I am endlessly receiving this message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close" it relates to the sync which between Calendars (iCal and Entourage) .
    The error messages were coming up every 5 SECONDS and were impossible to deal with. They stated there was a 'Blame Module' which wasEntourageCore
      I have been unable to find any idea how to resolve this.
    Please can anyone describe what they have done to sort this?
    I am using MS Office 2008.
    Turning off the sync between the two calendars was not the answer, as the messages continued. So I have temporarily disabled the sync between iCal/Entourage and my iPad.  This has prevented the error message, but obviously means I must enter diary dates manually on iPad which is the whole point of the sync!
      I haven't found a way to sync between iCal and iPad - this would be a possible work-round. But I'd be so grateful to know how to resolve the sync error.

  • Microsoft word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

    After installing Mavericks, I get this same error box for each of the MS Office 2008 apps.  "Microsoft [word,excel/etc] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."   I've tried to open in a test user account and same thing happens.  Any ideas?  I don't really want to splurge for a new version.  Thanks.

    Have you installed all of the available updaters for Office 2008? In each of the apps use the Help ➙ Check for Updates menu option.
    Then be sure to run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.

  • Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I've been using Microsoft Office 2008 for a long time and just this week I'm getting the below message:
    "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    I can't open it at all. Word works fine.
    I've deleted com.microsoft etc. in Preferences but the problem still persists.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated : )

    Than you for your help.
    Yes, it works fine when logged into another user account. That's a relief, although not for my Accounts department : )
    What do you suggest knowing that I've already tried deleting the preferences files
    Thanks

  • I have a new MacBook ProI have a new MacBook Pro. When I try to edit a Word document in any way I get a screen that says Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; that I may lose the info. I was working on and I can't recover my work. Help?

    After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?

    This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

    Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Word 2011 for Mac, Word has encountered a problem and needs to close

    When I open word a lot of previously closed word documents open. Flashing up about twenty different  documents before I can open a new document. Also when I try to close them Word shut down, 'Stating Word has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    Any help? 

    Hi Susan,
    First you should know that this is not a Mac forum. It is for PC IT types. How's that acronym jargon? It doesn't help much with clear communication does it? :-) (Windows Information Technology Professionals... not end users). The correct forum for you is
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword and there you'll get your answer a lot quicker.
    With that said, I'm bilingual in PC and Mac environments so I will try to help. Try this:
    In Apple's System Preferences>General make sure this checkbox is marked:
    Quit Word completely... remember quitting is not closing on a Mac. You must "Quit" the application.
    Hold down the Shift Key and then start Word. Keep holding the Shift key until Word fully opens. Once it is open if any of those old documents appear in the Recovery task pane, now close them.
    Quit Word and if prompted about reopening any documents, respond No.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards, Rich ... http://greatcirclelearning.com

  • Reader 9 causes message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." whenever a tab is closed.

    After installing reader 9, Internet Explorer gives the message: "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." everytime I close an internet window. If I remove reader 9, the problem no longer occurs. Reinstalling reader 9 causes the problem to return. I got rid of reader 8.1.4 because it was not working properly. Any suggestions about this issue?

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

    windows xp   Windows XP Pro  

    He's right. Make sure you follow ALL the instructions for uninstalling.
    I think the problem is actually related to a Quicktime error, and not iTunes, but it relies on Quicktime.
    One of these two things fixed this same problem for me:
    -Deleting the Quicktime files in the System32 folder (mentioned in the uninstalling instructions).
    -Installing Quicktime by itself FIRST, then installing iTunes
    I think the Quicktime files in the System32 folder were the culprit, though.
