Word 2021 crashes when you try and use table properties
Hey, I faced the same issue and was so agitated by it. This is what I tried.
File ---> Account ---> Update Options (Dropdown next to Office Updates) ---> Update Now
It took a while to search and update. Make sure all open files are saved as it asks to close them all. After the update, the issue has been resolved for me. Table properties and more colours are both working fine now.
I hope this helps.
I have exactly the same issue, i also get exactly the same crash if i hightlight text and attempt to change its colour from the font colour drop-down and select "more colours" - it also crashes in excel and powerpoint doing the same font colour change, so it seems like its something to do with the common features.... i havent tried installing the 32bit version to see if that fixes it, it will be my next try. frustrating and so many common things stopped working after upgrading from office 2019
cwowens well spotted...I also get the crash with the "more colours" in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
