There is a current issue with Word for Mac (certain versions at least). There should be an update available which supposedly fixes the problem. See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/my-word-keeps-freezing-word-for-mac/3b49f28e-... and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac.

Ensure both your Word application and macOS are up to date. Software updates often include fixes for performance issues. What's more, lack of storage space can sometimes cause applications to run slowly or freeze. Check if your Mac has enough free storage. Aim for at least 10% of your total disk space to be free.
