Word freezes when using modern comments with tables
Hi everyone, I’m running into a very frustrating issue with Microsoft Word and I’m hoping someone has seen this before. Word Desktop consistently freezes when I try to use modern comments with tables. The freeze happens after typing into the comment field and trying to save the comment. The application becomes unresponsive and needs to be force-closed. What’s strange: The exact same document works perfectly fine in Word for the Web. I can add and edit comments in tables there without any issues. Brand new Lenovo laptop (Windows 11) Microsoft 365 (latest version) Issue started immediately on this device Same workflow worked fine on my previous laptop What I’ve already tried: Running Word in safe mode (winword /safe) Creating a new Windows user profile Quick Repair and Online Repair of Office Fully reinstalling Microsoft 365 Disabling / removing McAfee antivirus Testing with a completely new document Disabling modern comments (old comments work, but are not ideal) Testing local vs OneDrive files (same behavior) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hyperlinks no longer copying out of Word
Within the last month or so I have found that embedded hyperlinks in a Word document (on desktop PC) are being lost when I copy text into another program. The links revert to text only in WordPress and between the desktop Word document and pasting into Word Online. The only way I have found to get round this is to open the document in Word Online - in which case the hyperlinks stay intact - and then copy from there into WordPress (or anything else). This is not ideal and I wondered if this was a known issue or there is a setting in Word which is causing this to happen. It feels like the copy function in Word is set to only copy text and not the links (or formatting for that matter). I wondered if I had triggered a setting that has caused this to happen but when searching in settings and tabs (or forums) I have not found anything obvious. Does anyone have the same issue?
Ignore all in Word Editor
I am working on a Surface with Windows 11 I am having difficulty understanding how the Grammar function in Word works. I have three questions: 1) Why does word as you are working through grammatical errors continue to add more errors even as you are eliminating them? 2) If you are working with a large document with over a thousand grammatical errors, some of them more style than substance like a preference for participles, if you choose "ignore all" when confronted with a participle like "the boy stood his ground, hoping not to be..." rather than he hoped etc. is ignore all going to ignore only this particular configuration where the word "hoping" is used? 3) If when working with a large document one with over a thousand errors, in which for stylistic reasons you use "ignore once" how can you save those changes so that when you close and then reopen you aren't confronted with those previous errors you already dealt with?

Hello all, I've recently run into a weird issue with Word after having to reset my PC due to a completely different issue. The problem is that when I turn on dark mode, it applies it like normal besides the document itself, which remains white. I know that there's a setting that you can switch this with under the 'View' tab, but it doesn't show up for me at all. I have tried activating Office Insider and I also tried resetting Word's settings to default but nothing has worked thus far. Does anyone know of a potential fix for this issue?Blacked out Style elements
I'm having an issue with numbering.xml. For some reason, Word only shows black boxes in the "Styles" menu section, if numbering.xml does not contain the following element: <w:num w:numId="1"> <w:abstractNumId w:val="0"/> </w:num> Previously it worked fine without this element, but now it only shows black boxes if I don't put this element into the xml. I've checked the document with OpenXml_SDK Validator, and it does not complain about this missing element and says the document is valid. Is it really a mandatory xml tag or should I report it as a new bug?Office Add-ins error: Cannot connect to catalog
One of our admin-managed add-ins (Adobe Sign) has gone AWOL from the ribbon of the Word desktop app recently (it still shows up in the web-app version of Word). One of the suggested troubleshooting steps is to check review the Office Add-ins from within the app itself. When doing so, I receive an error: Insert ribbon-->Add-ins section-->My Add-ins-->See all...-->Admin Managed "Cannot connect to catalog" I've tried: signing out, back in, clearing the Office cache, and redeploying the add-in from central management. The deployment always reports that it was successful. Can anyone else reproduce this "Cannot connect to catalog" issue, or suggest additional troubleshooting steps/workarounds?
