- what version of word are you using? Today I accidentally solved the problem again. By uninstall the problem version of office which is Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise and reinstall Office 365 Pro Plus, my issue is gone now.
- Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.14026.20304) 32-bit
Version 2105 (Build 14026.20308 Click-to-Run)
