You probably will need to force-quit Word. Go to the Apple menu, choose "Force Quit", locate and select Word in the list of applications and click the "Force Quit" button. You will of course most likely lose any changes you made to the document since you last saved it (or it was auto-saved, if you have that option turned on in Word).
Regards.

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • How do I get out of this box????

    I froze after the original installation of lightroom 3 and couldn't decide whether to create a new lr file or upgrade my elements 9 file.  At the freezing point I am stuck in a little box which asks me to (myself!) create the file or choose another file.
    I don't know where to  create the file, or how to name it, or where to put it.  Would prefer to upgrade my photoshop elements file, but no longer seem to have that choice.  I can't get back to that choice.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my new lightroom, but it just comes up to that box.
    Help help help please.

    Hi there...yikes, I don't use this email address very often and didn't see all the messages until just now.  I went on chat with an adobe person this morning, and he walked me through the manual removal procedure, including how to find hidden files.  Once I had deleted lightroom in that place, everything was fine and I could relaumch it completely...thanks for your interest.

  • Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

    Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
    I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
    Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
    Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
    I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

    Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.

  • Sleep, Restart, Shutdown loop - how do I get out of this loop?

    I installed os X Panther on mom's older iMac.
    Tonight, when it's booted it comes up with "sleep, restart, shutdown" options.
    We've selected each of these 3 items, waited, then either woke it up, waited for it to restart, or restarted it from shutdown; however, again it will eventually show a screen that only allows her to select "sleep, restart, shutdown"
    How does she get out of this loop?
    Note: There is not option to cancel the screen that has "sleep, restart, shutdown."

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    You may need to do a clean install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • When i click on iphone ine. how do i get out of this and sync normally?

    When i click on iphone in itunes it just comes up with option to restore from backup. how do i get out of this and sync normally?

    Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

    You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

  • Hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4 os to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks

    hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4  to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks
    Got a i7 processor with win 7 64bit.
    How do i get back ?

    How do you "accidentaly" upgrade to iOS 5?  Are you a registered developer?  As I understand, Apple has told developers that they do NOT support downgrading from the Beta. You'll have to go over to the developers forums and see if someone there can help you.
    If you're not a registered developer, then congratulations. You are now the proud owner of an iBrick until you either pay to enter the developers program or until the final release comes out in the fall.
