Word is crashing, continuously loading and not responding, also lagging on Mac.
My word is crashing my Mac. Word is continuously loading and not responding. Word is lagging. Slow.
I believe this is a known issue with certain releases of Word for the Mac. There are numerous threads regarding this issue in the Community forum (see for example https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/word-is-laggin-on-my-mac/a520fea1-564f-4118-b73b-ada1d8a0e9ef). Someone suggested that installing the most recent preview version of Word/Office might fix the bug. However, you may prefer to wait until the fix has been tested and is being provided as a standard current channel release.
