Why Microsoft Word Keeps Crashing on Mac

I tried to the new version of Microsoft Word from both the App Store and websites several times, and it finally worked. But after opening the PowerPoint, it just kept crashing and crashing, and when I finally opened the files, the whole screen just turned transparent. Why does this happen?

Microsoft Word keeps crashing on Mac, which is very common, and there are many reasons leading to it. Read the following causes:

  • Your Word files are lost or deleted accidentally.
  • You may be running an incompatible version of Word on your Mac.
  • Some third-party tools are interfering with Microsoft Word.
  • You may unintentionally move the Word application somewhere else.

If you are sure that your Word files are lost, you can use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac Pro to recover Word files.

Step 3. To preview the Word documents selected, double-click them. Then, you need to click "Recover" to get the lost files back.
