[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1950994, member: 204485"] I suppose in a way you're right Patrick but in the early days we didn't have "old" Macs and OS's. Today we have users who are still using 10+ year old Intel Macs with MacOSX still running 32bit applications. When these users are forced to update to Silicon Macs running eg. Sequoia then it's only natural there will be problems. For me Macs continue to "just work" because I have an M Series MBP running macOS 15.4.1, a iPhone 16e running iOS 18.4.1 and an Apple Watch 10 running AWOS 11.4 Compatibility has become an issue that never really existed 10-15 years ago. Sadly, the price we pay for using MS apps is the uninstall/reinstall and install of new versions of either MS Office for MacOS or elements of it, like MS Word. If you do a quick search for Uninstall MS Office for MacOS you will find all the instructions for doing so, see below. [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3[/URL] These instructions need to be followed to the letter in order to successfully Uninstall MS Office components. Following that you can successfully install/reinstall MS Word or the entire MS Office suite. [/QUOTE]
