Microsoft Word not responding

When typing into  Word document, the document tends to go into "not responding" mode every other sentence.  The screen tends to fade and it takes 60 seconds to reload.  I've never experienced this on any of my other PC's or laptops. 
The tech advisors in the Microsoft store thought it had to do with downloading updates, which they did. However, that did not fix the problem.

Go to File>Option>Advanced>Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

  • Convert PDF to Word - Word (Not responding)

    I've used Adobe XI to convert PDF doc to Word. When working within the Word document highlighting or editing it "hangs" every few seconds showing "Word (Not Responding)". It's very frustrating as well as time consuming. Autosave is off. Any help or recommendations appreciated.

  • Importing word - not responding

    I've been trying to import a Word 2003 document into version
    x5 but I keep getting a message that says "Microsoft Word seems not
    to be responding. Would you like to continue waiting for a
    response?" I've tried starting a new project and importing the
    document, as well as opening an existing project and importing the
    document but neither method works. Does anyone have any
    suggestions? Please help.

    It worked! Thanks Peter!
    Now, I just have to troubleshoot the import. The images are
    all out of whack, but I'll do another search on this forum before
    posting my question. ;-)
    I went to your site and found the information you provide on
    importing invaluable.
    FYI, I'm a freelance tech writer trying to decide between
    RoboHelp 7 and Flare. I will be creating simple online help for web
    applications from scratch, as well as updating and restructuring
    complex help projects for robust client applications. I use Word
    2000 and the Vista OS (long story, but I'm roped into it). I have

  • Microsoft word stops responding when i open a document

    This has been happening on and off for ages, from half a year to a year. I have been trying to open a document for 4 hours now, it opens it and then freezes, i then have to force quit it and start over again. Some times i have left it for a while others i quit it after it stops responding. It is getting ridiculous now, i have also searched for ages on the internet, some problems are unrelated some seem related but the fixes don't work, I need help to get word to stop doing this.
    I thought maybe it was because it keeps opening all my previous documents that I had open, i unchecked the box so it doesn't reopen windows and it still freezes but on this document instead. I do not have a clue what to do and I urgently need access to these documents, the documents aren't damaged, i was working on them before, and had this problem with many other documents that also weren't damaged. What should I do? I do not have a clue and it's been a truly annoying problem for a long time now.

    Hello, I did as you asked, I hope this isn't too many lines i put. I don't understand any of it and so I don't know what is needed, but this doesn't have over 50 lines so i thought it may be okay. I can't see my name in my log so it seems okay from that point of view. Thanks for your help, this problem has been driving me nuts, i don't know if i've done anything or this is just because of gradual ware and tear as my macbook is the last one they produced. But i wouldn't think its software would have suffered much ware and tear to become that outdated already.

    Below are some troubeshotting for you:
    Make sure your IE 8 is 32-bit
    Add the URL of dev2 to Trusted Site
    Make sure that SharePoint OpenDocumentsClass and SharePoint OpenXMLDocuments are enabled as IE Options->Programs->Manage add-ons
    Repaire Office 2010 under Control Panel

  • Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
    It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
    Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
    Thanks!

    Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
    fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

  • Adobe and Microsoft Word not working with upgrade 10.10 Yosemite

    I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.  Now my Mac Microsoft Word 2011 and Adobe keep closing and will not work properly.  I feel like my computer is slower.  It definitely takes way longer to start up.  Any suggestions?  My computer is still under warranty, but it is hard to find time to take it in.  I only upgraded my laptop and not my desktop yet.  This laptop is a Macbook Pro (15-Inch, Late 2011), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 BG 1067 MHz DDR3, HD: 119.99 GB free of 498.88 GB.  I know I need more HD space.  I emptied trash and took off apps I do not use.  I'm not sure what to buy for my Mac that is compatible to increase speed and HD space, but it is slower after the upgrade.  I use a Lacy External HD for time machine.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.

  • Microsoft  word- not included in basic macbook?

    I want to purchase a macbook but need a word-processing software included. Does the macbook have something like this included? and if not, why in the world would it not be included?

    Why should it be included? Apple sells iWork '06 for word processing. Microsoft Word is not an Apple product. OS X includes TextEdit that can perform basic word processing as well as text editing.
    There are several excellent word processors available:
    Neo Office Aqua (beta freeware)
    Nisus Writer Express
    Nisus Writer Professional (beta)
    Papyrus
    Mariner Write
    You'll find them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Microsoft word not existing

    I spilled water on my last mac book air so i got it replaced/fixed and now I can't find microsoft word. I sounds like the dumbest question ever but I tried everything! Looking in the search , exc. Please help.

    When your MacBook Air was replaced, it sounds like the Microsoft software was not installed on it.  You will have to use the original media that contained the Microsoft software and re-install it on your replacement machine.  You will have to enter the ownership key again (I forgot exactly what that is called, but I think it's about a 20 character code that identifies you as the legal authorized owner).  You should then do Help > Check for Updates once the Microsoft software runs before you actually use it to do work for you.

  • Microsoft Word not saving files

    after updating a file and saving, the file well....isn't saving. i've tried different ones just to be sure there wasn't anything with a specific one and its the same. when i press cmd + Q to quit, it asks whether i want to save and i do, but then i press cmd + Q again and it says the same thing.
    any advice on how i can fix this?

    Force quit Microsoft Word (by pressing Command-Option-Escape, selecting Microsoft Word and then clicking "Force Quit"), and then reboot the computer.
    If the problem persists, reinstalling Microsoft Word may be necessary.
    Hope this helps! Reply if you have any questions or need more help!
