Question

MS Word for Mac runtime 53 errors

When on the Microsoft Community board, I was told that this is an Adobe created problem.  So posting here.

 

Whenever I open a Word document, I get a dialog. See copy below.

 

Is there a way to get rid of these warnings or does it indicate an issue needing corrective action.

 

Thank you.

So I just grin and bear it?

 

Does a newer Adobe Acrobat solve the issue?

 

Thanks much,

Norm

Yes, this issue is resolved in Adobe Acrobat Classic 2024 and Adobe Acrobat DC tracks. You can upgrade Acrobat to these versions to avoid this issue.

Whilst not getting the same message, I am getting error messages, such as 'Part of this app has been blocked' or 'This application is not responding'.  Until a couple of months ago, this would be occasional, but now it is every time I want to use Acrobat.  I am seriously considering cancelling my subscription to Adobe as a whole.

Please read my post again. The problem occurs when I open a MS Word document. Therefore I can't reproduce in Acrobat.
