How to fix "upload pending" error message in Microsoft word
I dealt with this frustrating issue for over a year, but here's how you can fix it. Example image: How to fix: 1. Make sure Finder is open and all office apps are closed, including Microsoft Word. 2. Click on "GO" in the top bar. 3. Once the drop down menu descends, hold down the OPTION key on your keyboard. You'll see that a folder called "LIBRARY" appears. Click on "LIBRARY". 4. Once inside"LIBRARY", click on a folder called "CONTAINERS." 5. Scroll down until you find a folder called "com.microsoft.Word". 6. Once you've found it, delete "com.microsoft.Word" off your computer. 7. Now, reopen Microsoft Word, and make sure the upload pending error message is gone. It should be, and you should now be able to delete the file if you so choose. Also, if you're experiencing this problem with Excel and/or Powerpoint, you can probably fix it the same way. You'd just have to delete "com.microsoft.Excel" and/or "com.microsoft.Powerpoint" respectively, instead of"com.microsoft.Word". All the steps leading up to that would remain the same. I really hope this helps other people who are dealing with this problem. And if for some reason it doesn't work for you, reach out to Microsoft support while signed into your Microsoft account and get into a chat room. Chatting with a specialist was the only reason I was able to figure this out in the first place.
Creating unique headers and footers?
I am looking for a word processing product that I can create a template with unique headers and footers that I can share with users who can only add text content but not change or delete the headers and footers. I looked at Word, but it does not have this capability. I am trying to convince my boss to use Google doc's but he is old school. I tried telling him that Word is old, outdated tech and very limited, but he asked me to check ifthere is another MS product that comes with our 365 platform that can do what I described here?

Hyphenation feature not available on Office 365 for MAC
Hello, I'm encountering an annoying issue with the Word app on my Mac. Whenever I open a document with hyphenation activated, I receive the following error message: "Word hyphenation feature is not available. Run the Microsoft Office Setup program, install this feature, and then try again." Additionally, attempting to activate "Automatically hyphenate document" in a new document yields no results. I've unchecked the "Don't hyphenate" option under paragraph options, tried reinstalling Word, attempted saving the document as a .doc instead of .docx, and reached out to Support, but they were unable to resolve the issue. It's crucial for me to have this function working, as it affects the layout of documents created with it enabled. I'm using Microsoft 365, Word Version 16.81 (24011420), on a MacBook Air M2 running MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71). Has anyone else encountered this problem on a Mac? On Windows, everything works fine, and I've never had any issues with this function. Thank you!Draw Table and Eraser tools not in Table Tools Layout Tab
In MS Word for Office 365 Business and Office 365 Pro, the "draw table" and "eraser" buttons do not show up on the tool bar. I have tried to add them by using the customize ribbon features but have been unsuccessful. On two different computers, these two tools are unavailable which really makes adjusting/creating tables difficult, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MS Word Keeps crashing on windows 11
Isn't it funny that MS Word keeps crashing on my Windows 11 Samsung Book 3 Ultra core i9 RTX 4070 while editing my book which is 600 pages while the same document is running normally and smoothly on my Macbook M1 pro 2021 8 core CPU? Does that mean Apple is optimizing the app Office 365 better than Microsoft itself? any solutions or ideas?Renumber specific footnote
Hello I would like my footnote numbering to skip numbers 71-75 and go from 70 to 76. Footnote 76 is not in a different chapter; Actually my document is consisted of extracts of a single chapter text (hence the omission of several footnotes) but I still want the original footnote numbering kept. Thanks
