fix Microsoft word keeps crashing Macbook 
recover my work and restart microsoft word
 
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Microsoft Word on your MacBook. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the crashing issue and recover your work:
 
1. Update Microsoft Word: Make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft Word installed on your MacBook. Open the App Store and go to the "Updates" section to check for any available updates for Word.
 
2. Restart your MacBook: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve software glitches. Save your work in other applications and then restart your MacBook.
 
3. Disable add-ins: Add-ins can sometimes cause conflicts and make Word crash. Try disabling any third-party add-ins you have installed. To do this, open Word, go to the "Word" menu in the menu bar, and select "Preferences." In the Preferences window, choose "Add-ins" and uncheck any add-ins listed there.
 
4. Repair Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office includes a built-in repair feature that can fix common issues. Close Word and open the "Applications" folder on your MacBook. Locate "Microsoft Office" and open the "Office" folder. Run the "Microsoft Office Reminders" or "Microsoft Office Updater" application and follow the prompts to repair your Office installation.
5.Create user: Create user admin, delete user old.
Clear Word preferences: Corrupted preference files can cause instability in Word. Quit Word, then go to the "Library" folder in your user directory. Within the Library folder, open the "Preferences" folder and locate the file named "com.microsoft.Word.plist." Move this file to the desktop (or another location), which will reset Word preferences. Launch Word again and see if the crashing issue persists.
 
 
If these steps don't resolve the problem, you might consider reinstalling Microsoft Office on your MacBook. Before doing so, make sure you have a backup of your important files, including your Word documents. Uninstall Microsoft Office, restart your MacBook, and then reinstall it from the original installation media or download it from the Microsoft website.
 
In terms of recovering your work, Word usually has an AutoRecover feature that automatically saves your documents at regular intervals. When you relaunch Word after a crash, it should prompt you to recover any unsaved work. Look for a document recovery option or a message in the startup screen of Word. If the AutoRecover feature doesn't kick in, you may need to manually search for temporary files in the Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar, select "Go to Folder," and enter "~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery" to access the AutoRecovery folder. Look for any files with the ".asd" extension, which may contain your recovered work.
 
Remember to regularly save your work as you progress to minimize the risk of losing important data in case of crashes or other issues.
