Hi,

I started receiving a 4707 error on Monday whenever I open Word for Mac. I'm running version 16.97. I know there is a repair routine for Windows users but is there one for Mac users?

Thanks,

Norm.

You're right... That was a typo 😊 Thanks for the correction.

    I'm having the same error, and this was an update that appeared to me as I was working, with no indication that it was a testing version. I now have an appeal due in criminal court with tons of TOA and TOC markings that I cannot access.

    The Rosetta hack does not work for me.

    On another Microsoft website, I got the suggestion to downgrade, accompanied by a link: How to revert to an earlier version of Office – Microsoft Support. As one might expect, that link gives a 404 page not found error.

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    The version is 16.97, not 16.96 but I do understand the risks that go along with Beta versions. I didn't realize there were channels to report those issues. Do you have links to those that you can forward me to point me in the right direction? Appreciate it.

    Norm.
