Drag-select not working in Word
MS Word seriously broke on me today. very little seems to be working properly. I tried everything Claude suggested, and what I could find on these forums. I cannot drag-select anything. Navigation pane doesn't work right: doesn't get headings. I don't have time for basic functionality to break. Whatever update you sent out that broke this, please fix it ASAP.
CoPilot has suddenly stopped working in Word?
CoPilot suddenly stopped working in Word this morning. After any prompt I enter I get an "Oops, something happened. Can you try again" error message. The error occurs in both the desktop app and web versions of Word (CoPilot is still working fine in Excel, Outlook etc). The issue is not limited to one device or version of Windows - I have Windows 10 on a PC and Windows 11 on a laptop. I have engaged with Microsoft Help Support via chat and after multiple efforts to try and resolve the issue, the suggestion from the agent is that it may be related to a server-side service disruption or a backend issue rather than Word itself. Very frustrating! Is anybody else experiencing the same issue and have you been able to resolve it?
Simply cannot delete a section break. It is impossible. Cannot be done. Please prove me wrong.
So I was introduced to section breaks as a means of getting page numbering up-to-spec for book I've written (roman. numerals in the front material, arabic numerals in the book itself). I'm using the latest version of Word (16.8?) on Mac. To my horror, I've found that it is impossible to delete section breaks once they're in my document. I have spend an entire day in Google on this subject, and every single suggestion fails. So I have enabled showing markup, so I can see page breaks, section breaks, paragraphs I cannot select a section break. Word will not allow that. So I can't select and delete it. I cannot put the cursor after a section break and then hit the delete button as many suggest. Word will not allow the cursor to be placed after a section break. Putting the cursor before the section break, as other articles recommend, is just wrong. All you're doing there is deleting text before the section break. Why is this so hard? I've lost a whole day on something that should be simple. In the screenshot from my document below, The section break simply cannot be touched.
Formatting issues in Word Microsoft 365 Copilot online.
I am experiencing formatting issues in Word (Microsoft 365 Copilot online). I am a student, and I have a problem formatting my thesis in M365 Copilot after previously working on this file on an older device with an older version of Word. I recently purchased a new laptop, where I no longer have access to that same version of Word. My only option now is to use Word in the browser. However, the file that formatted correctly on the old device is now not formatting properly. The automatic table of contents is breaking. After clicking “Update,” Word assigns random page numbers, most often all entries show as page “8,” or, for example, the “Introduction,” which is actually on page 3 (I manually set page numbering in the old version), suddenly appears as page 5 in the table of contents. Every chapter and subchapter is shown as being on the same page, usually page 8. The formatting options and capabilities also seem worse compared to the interface of the older version. The same issue occurs on my student account. Please help, I am currently writing my thesis.
Can not add-in endnote
For the past few days, I have been unable to use Microsoft Word reliably because the application keeps freezing. I contacted your Microsoft support team, and the issue was reportedly resolved by updating my registry. After this, I noticed that I’m no longer able to use the EndNote add-in / “Cite While You Write” functionality. I upgraded my EndNote to the latest version, but I still cannot configure it in Word. When I attempt to set it up, I receive the message stating that “the current Word is not supported for EndNote.” Could you please advise on how to fix this? If the registry update may have affected Word’s add-in compatibility, I would also appreciate guidance on what needs to be changed to restore EndNote support. Thank you for your help.What is the right way to convert Word to PDF in bulk on a PC or Mac?
I am a Mac user and new to Windows 11. Currently, I have a task that needs to convert more than 100+ Word documents (.docx) to PDFs. Doing this one by one would take too much time, so I'm looking for a way to convert them in bulk. Does anyone know of a method or tool that can help me efficiently convert multiple Word documents to PDF format all at once? Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that's easy to use and saves me a lot of time. P.S. I have a Windows 11 laptop and MacBook Pro. ThanksCan't save MS Word files anymore on my Mac
Hi all, I have a macbook air 2020 version with an Intel chip. I'm using OS Sequioa 15.7.4 Microsoft Word version 16.107.1 Since this week I'm having issues with saving Microsoft Word files on my Mac. When I'm trying to save a file I'm getting the following message (translated from Dutch): "saving has failed because of insufficient memory or space on the hard disk" My hard disk is using 133 GB out of 500 GB. So that can't be the issue. I've tried already the following things: Reinstall MacOS (via cmnd R) Reinstall Word Log off out of word, restart, and log on into word. Reset Office 365 on mac via Office-Reset.com Saving the file in another folder / external disk Transfering all my files to a new Mac with OS Tahoe 26.3.1 and start working from there On both Macs I'm investigating deeper what goes wrong and this is what I've noticed so far I can open a new word file, typ in it and save that file. But the moment that I start pasting things from certain (a lot but not all) other files the problems start. I can't undo previous actions anymore I can't save the file I'm working on anymore (USB / Mac / onedrive) These issues occur on both MacOS. These issues occur often when I'm pasting pictures or formulas from those certain word-files. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Stephan
