Word 2019 spontaneously corrupts all other open Word files
So, recently, my Word 2019 software has been exhibiting a serious problem: when I have files open, and am typing in one of them, all of a sudden this entire file will go corrupt. That is: all the t...
Based on your description, this appears to be an issue with the user interface rather than with the files themselves, that is, there is no permanent damage to the files.
Assuming that you are running 64 bit Windows, ensure that you have also installed 64 bit Office. There have been multiple reports of a "broken" user interface in 32 bit Office running under 64 bit Windows. To change the "bit-ness" of Office, you have to uninstall and reinstall.
Thanks, Stefan...I appreciate the thought; but, both my Windows and Office are 64-bit versions.

- Thanks for the suggestion, Stefan...but: has this been tried before? If so, did it bring about a solution? Knowing that no other programs on my computer were affected with this corruption issue, is there something special about MS Office which would require this update?
I doubt it could hurt...but, just curious if this is speculation, or if updating has previously worked to fix a similar issue with MS Office.Yes, for display issues, updating the video driver is recommended, even if the symptoms are not present in all applications. Of course, there are no guarantees that it will work in this particular situation.
