Sue I am having a problem with newer versions: the installed Word for Mac 2016 v. 15.4 shuts down abruptly as I edit a document. My iMac is new and running High Sierra 10.13.1. My other problem is drifting — that is, the document shifts around, especially from side to side either by itself or when I’m trying to navigate up and down in a document. This happens with my old plug in mouse from 2008 and my new rechargeable Mighty Mouse 2. I’m a writer, and what I need is reliability and the ability to write, share, edit and save — not a multitude of features I’ll never use.

I went to the 'Services and Subscriptions' area of my account. There I choose Office 365, then picked the Install section. There I picked 'Language and install options', in there I picked 'Additional Install Options'. Then a drop down list appeared that gave me the option of choosing Office 2013 - 32 bit or 64 bit. Hope this helps. ' Let me guide you to resolve the issue' Refering them elsewhere is a retarded method of 'Guiding' them to a resolution. Hi, We understand how you feel about the situation.

I often see people start blaming Microsoft when the third-party add-ins don’t work in Outlook but Microsoft is not responsible for third-party add-ins. They are written by a third-party (e.g. Adobe) and are the responsibility of the third-party to make sure they work with Outlook. The best approach is to disable all the add-ins that are currently in use and then start enabling them one-by-one until you find the add-in that is the culprit. Once you find the add-in that is causing the problem, contact the company that created the add-in to see if they have a new version.

What should I do? What if I start a new outlook.com email. Will that help me for the future emails?
