Word stops working on a OneDrive file

I store my work files on OneDrive. Usually it's fine. However, a couple of months ago I ran into a problem where Word would suddenly stop working on a word file - usually with an error message while saving the latest version. When I tried to reopen the file
it would hang and eventually give an error message. It got progressively worse until it wasn't working with most word files. I spent several days going round and round with various MS customer support groups - office, Win 8.1... Finally I got the usual MS
response for intractable problems - rebuild your machine from the metal up.
Now it's starting again!!!
Just as before, I can open the files on my Windows 7 machine running MS Office 10. Today I discovered that on my Surface Pro, I can use explorer to move a file from OneDrive to my hard drive and it works fine there - no changes whatsoever - just a move.
So, clearly it's a problem of Word using OneDrive. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED AND FIXED FAST! 
8.1 Surface Pro - all updates applied
Office 2013 version 15.0.4623.1003

Thanks for replying.
OneDrive - All versions
I've done more research. It turns out that it's not just OneDrive related. Files where this problem arises eventually have the same troubles on my hard drive, dropbox, box, etc. when I open them with the Surface Pro, but not when I open them with Web Word,
my Win 7 Office 10, Google Docs, or with my iPad, or iPhone. The same file opens and edits fine everywhere except on the Surface Pro Office 2013.
The problem arises when I try to open the file. It saves without an error message. It can be immediately opened by my other methods without a problem so it is getting synced. But when I try to open it with 2013/Win8.1 it just hangs. Doesn't matter if I open
it from Word or from explorer. I have changed file names, locations, everything I can think of and it just hangs without an error message. Sometimes I get a notice that the last time I opened it it caused a serious error. Then if I choose open it hangs and
if I choose recover it either hangs or opens a page full of gibrish. Usually after I open it via an alternative method and save it from there it will open on the Surface Pro - usually, and not always.
This doesn't happen on all documents. Even documents in the same directory are not affected and work well. It just picks some documents and, of course, they are always the most critical, must have work.

  • Elements 12 organizer has stopped working on importing of files

    I am running a brand new PC w8.1 fresh install, second install of elements and photoshop 12.  when I am attempting to import my files in the organizer I am getting a consistant crash "Elements 12 organizer has stopped working".  Need assistance to make this go away.
    Background:
    The crash happens while importing videos or photos (have not even gotten to the part to work with files yet)
    I have tried to take smaller imports (less then a couple hundred files) but that doesn't seem to matter.
    It is not crashing on a consistent file.  Sometimes when I try again, it completes the import.
    Brand new Dell PC 7i, 24 gig ram, amd advance graphics card (PC not the issue)
    Windows 8.1 pretty much out of the box.
    Tried to "rename" the psa file to psaold, (still crashing).
    Re installed software, no change
    Downloaded the latest updates for everything.
    Webroot security
    Thanks for any help you can give me, I hate to have to return the product but considering how unstable it is when everything is fresh, I cant imagine living with this.

    Hi Clarasgp,
    Could you tell me which version of Office? Office 2010 or Office 2013? If Office 2010, you may install the security updates mentioned in the following link.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553091
    Since Oart.dll is not a system dll file, and is stored in the location of “[system drive letter]:\WINDOWS\system32”.
    We can try these methods to check if it’s helpful.
      1. Repair Office from Control Panel > Programs and Features > Office >Change > Repair.
      2. Download Office installation source from Microsoft website and reinstall it.
      3. Perform a clean boot in Windows to avoid conflict with other applications.
    If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • InDesign stops working correctly on some files. Flashing UI and deselecting objects.

    I am using the latest version of InDesign (10.0.0.70) on the latest version of Mac OSX (10.9.4).
    Recently I have been having an issue with InDesign which only affects some documents. The interface sort of flashes every few seconds sort of like the application frame is being deselected and then selected again. Whenever this happens (roughly every 4 seconds) anything I was doing is deselected, so if I'm dragging an object it snaps back to where it was and is deselected or if I'm entering a value into an input box the input box is deselected and reset. I think you can imagine how this can make InDesign fairly unusable.
    The problem doesn't occur on all documents, but I've been unable to find any link between the files it does do it on. Sometimes it will occur on a completely blank document that has just been created and other times it will be fine. On files that it does occur on it sticks and consistently happens to those files, if I copy the contents of the file onto a new document that was unaffected the problem does go away temporarily, but will occur again after a little while or the next time I open the file. Saving the file as an IDML does not make the problem go away it carries over to it. Deleting every element and all pages on an affected file doesn't fix the problem either.
    The problem does only seem to occur on one file at a time, if I have multiple files open only one of them will be affected, if I open two affected files at the same time one of them will be fixed and the problem will go away while the file is active and then return when I switch back to the other one. If I then close one of the files the problem will re affect the file.
    Copying an affected file off of the server I work off and opening it from my desktop does not change anything.
    I work in a studio with five other Macs all running the same version of OSX and InDesign none of the others are affected by this at all. My Mac is only a few months old and the newest of the lot, I don't have anything different installed on it from the others.
    I have tried completely removing InDesign and Creative Cloud and doing a fresh install which did not solve the problem.

    Sounds like you have an Extensis font manager. Turn off the auto-activation plugin and complain to Extensis.

  • Reader X stops working after closing PDF file

    We have a small problem on our businesscompany with Reader X.
    When a user opens up a PDF file (windows XP sp3) it opens ok and everything seems to be fine. After reading the user closes it. But when a user wants to open up a new PDF file, nothing happens. We have to open up the taskmanager and have to close a few AcroRD32.exe tasks and after that it works again.
    We have to delete a registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader to let it work again, but a few days later the problem is back.
    We have a huge company (2000+ users and 10000 students) and the probem is getting bigger and bigger. First there were a few people, but it is growing rapidly. So i hope you can help us. Most users (98%) dont have Acrobat Pro on it. Also no traces of old versions.
    Anyone has an idea?

    Good day,
    Couple of questions that may help us in finding a solution for you:
    What is the exact version of Reader you have installed?
    Does the issue occur when users with administrative rights are logged into the computer?
    Did this just start happening? 
    How long has this behavior been occuring?
    Are these PDF files being opened through a browser window? If so, what browser?
    Does the process hang every time or is this issue intermittant?
    Can you check a few of the documents your users are opening?  Specifically, choose File > Document Properties and share both the PDF Producer and PDF Version.

  • I installed yosimite and microsoft word stopped working, how do I fix this?

    I open it and I cannot type, how do I fix it?

    What version of Microsoft Word is it? If it's 2004, you're SOL. If it's a newer version, you may need to re-install it. I'd say you'd have the best luck with Word 2011.

  • Illustrator CS6 Workspace Stops Working within a day or 2

    Hi,
    I'm starting to get very aggravated with Illustrator CS6 (Mac) -- every day or 2, it stops working after opening 1 file. I clear the prefs, cache, etc. and it will work again for another day or 2.
    It seems to be the Workspace I've created, but that's just a guess.
    As of today, I won't create another workspace and see if that really is the issue -- everything was working well up until about a week ago and then nothing but problems -- and I have been using the same Workspace for at least a year.
    Anyone else have any other suggestions?
    Oh, and I've also re-installed Illustrator CS6, which didn't help.
    Many thanks for any and all suggestions!

    Thanks for replying, Scott.
    1) File > Open = nothing happens. No file opens and no error message.
    2) Dragging a fle to the AI icon = same as above.
    3) Files are local.
    4) I haven't tried booting into Safe Mode because that would mean I'd have to work in Safe Mode for days on end. This weird problem occurs either same day or, when using Essentials now, 5 days later. It would be impossible to get any work done in Safe Mode.
    5) I'm logged in as admin and will certainly try logging out the next time it happens.
    I really don't want to trash my prefs every day or clear the cache so frequently -- it will take me three times as long to work on any files as you can hopefully appreciate.
    I also tried removing the internet connection which seemed to work as well, or it was a coincidence -- I am a fully registered customer and have been since Aldus! I'll have to try it again the next time. But again, doing this every time I need to work on files is going to get old very quickly.
