    Hi

    This is an caused by incompatible Adobe Add-in. Please try following steps:

    1. Open Word
    2. On the top of your Mac taskbar, click "Tools"
    3. Click on "Templates and Add-ins..." at the bottom
    4. Under Global Templates and Add-ins, selected the item "linkCreation.dotm"
    5. Clicked the little (-) button to delete the item
    6. Restarted MS Word and have a check.

    You may also try to delete the file 'linkCreation.dotm' and it is located on this folder:

    ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word
