Outlook Zing And Crashing Mac Users Have

Mac users have reported that Word, Excel, and Outlook applications started freezing or crashing.

After the recent macOS High Sierra upgrade in September 2017, Microsoft claimed no issues had been registered.

If you do experience Word freeze-ups on the earlier OS X versions, read on to learn how to fix them.

Word Keeps Crashing on Mac Experiencing a Word freeze-up in the middle of working on something important is very stressful.

Lets say, you are writing your term paper seeking an answer to the question that would make the life of millions of people around the entire globe much easier and more comfortable (for example, Do Woodpeckers Get Headaches).

And in the middle of the process, when your thoughts smoothly flow from your head into the text editor; when no slightest paper help is needed from anybody; when the inspiration is overflowing; when you feel on the verge of the greatest finding in the history of humanity dear Lord Word just crashes or freezes.

If youve never suffered such a tragedy, you must be the luckiest person on Earth and should definitely play lottery right about now.

To partly recover the document you have been working on, try printing out the screen.

After that, try force-quitting the application by using the Command-Option-Esc shortcut.

When the Force Quit window appears, select the app you want to abort and press Force Quit.

If an app crashes or closes unexpectedly, the files you have been working on, are lost in most cases.

However, Word saves the file edits automatically, so it can help you recover the information after restarting the program.

In case, Word doesnt request file recovery permission from you, most likely it failed to save the edits, and theres nothing to restore.

If you use Time Machine backups and the default backup frequency is one hour, chances of file recovery are quite high.

Adopt a habit of saving the documents as often as possible to prevent unexpected data loss.

Also, check if the autosave options are set in Words preferences to make sure at least a part of your file is recoverable.

By default, the auto recovery is set to save a file every 10 minutes.

So, in the event of unexpected quitting, Word should have saved the document version created ten minutes before that.

There is one more way of finding the file if the Word app has crashed: go to the Finder to check if the file locates in the Documents folder.
