Hello!


have bought a new mac air and the word and excel are freezing my computer.


First, try in Safe Mode. Safe mode can help you to determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support.


You could also test in new, test user account on your Mac and see if the issue persists: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support.


Additionally, make sure your Mac is up-to-date: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support.


If you need more help, contact Microsoft Support.

Please provide some detail and context such as what model/year computer, what MacOS version, and what version Microsoft Office. Maybe you need to upgrade your Office app. Maybe you have installed third party apps that are contributing to the slowness issue.
