MS Word keeps crashing in OSX10.9

Only Word was crashing on me all of a sudden, using Mac OSX 10.9.5, reinstalled Office 2011 (14.5.2) two times and updated to 14.7.7. Refuse to update to 10.10, so don't mention it. I removed the duplicate fonts and still crashing as soon as I opened a new document in word. SOLUTION: Don't open a new document, just open an older .doc file on your computer and then it did not crash, for now... I still think its a font based error that is causing this. It began to crash after I installed Futura T and some other fonts.

Use iWork?

Just a warning, Office for Mac is so buggy that it's not practical.

Have you tried re-installing the office package?

What error messages do you get?

You mention Word version 14.0. That seems to imply that you haven't installed any of the updates (in Word, select Help -> Check for updates). Is that correct? The current version of Word for Mac 2011, as of this moment, is 14.3.8, and I'm not noticing any crashing (I just installed Mavericks today, too).

I'd check those updates, if I were you. 😉

Version 14? Isn't that for PC only?

I believe the version for Macs is 2011.

~Bee, version 14 actually is Word for Mac 2011. It corresponds to Word 2010 on the PC:

The same here.

Just update to 10.9. Outlook and Excel are working fine. Word is crashing with same error message.

I got exactly the same problem:

Excel and PP work fine. I did reinstall the whole microsoft office package from scratch, that is deleted ALL of its files across the HD, but to no avail. I guess Microsoft has, again, proven to be a ****** company. Office has always been very slow, and sometimes also unresponsive. Nothing like its windows version - wich works way better. I think the do it deliberately just to make sure that one day, when you've had enough, you'll run back to its windows lair...

Same here, tired a lot, deleting entire MS and installing it again followed by all up-dates available and unfortunatelly no result whatsoever :-(

On top I'm facing IMAP issue on Mail from a local provider all devices are fine but the Mavericks one, anyone having the IMAP issue on Mail as well???

I even followed Word troubleshooting guide: delete com.microsoft.word smth.smth .plist file. It didn't work however.

F..ing Microsoft. I'm going to cancel my Office 365 subscription.

Same here 😟 PP is fine, XLS too, but Word keeps on crashing...

Please try to repair Disk Permission in Disk Utility.

I solved my crach problem by it.

thanks but.... it didnt work. here is what i get
