Microsoft Word Mac Spinning Wheel Save Document Rating: 3,5/5 9714 reviews
New MAC Pro. OS X 10.9. app - MS Word for MAC. Spinning wheel every few minutes, all morning, while attempting to edit 20 pp doc. After researching problem: Checked activity utility, no apparent problems, except Word not responding. Plenty of disk space, memory, etc. Closed all other apps (except Webroot). Using only styles to format. Before today, performance seemed to be getting sluggish. My first Apple computer. Blech! It's touchy and difficult, plus I don't know my way around very well. I only changed to MAC because I couldn't tolerate Win 8 -- what have I done?? More important, what can I do to fix this? What do I need to know to prevent it happening again?

Over the last couple of days when I use Microsoft Word or Excel, I get the spinning wheel of death for a minute or so when opening, clicking on or editing a document/spreadsheet. Uberly frustrating.


Any ideas what might be going on?


Thank you,

I was typing a document in Mac Word and a spinning rainbow pinwheel appeared. How do I get rid of it and - Answered by a verified Mac Support Specialist We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our website. May 31, 2010 Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Word is just as subject to failure on a PC as a Mac but on either one you might as well be prepared to start over. I currently have a Mac but had PC's for many years and just made it a habit to save the document as soon as I titled it and every few paragraphs after.

Apr 25, 2017  Every app on your Mac has a so-called window server. When an app receives more events than it can process, the window server automatically shows you the spinning ball. It usually takes about 4 seconds for the app to decide that it’s non-responsive. Why does the Mac spinning wheel of death appear? Well, the reasons are countless. Do a 'Maggie' on the document: 1. Turn on hidden characters the ¶ button. Click at beginning of document. Scroll to end of document 4. Click just before the last ¶. 5. Now do a copy (⌘-C) 6. Open a new blank document 7. Now do a Paste (⌘-V) 8. Now save document with a slightly different name (example: letter.docx would become letter1.docx. Nov 03, 2017  Question: Q: MS Word spinning wheel. I'm on a MacBook Pro, Yosemite 10.10.5, with Office 15.32. Word spins a constant beach ball as soon as I click in the document area - cannot even load a file or type in the doc area. This lovely beach ball keeps spinning ad nauseum. Mac OS X Speciality level out of ten: 1.
