Sounds like you may have a Bluetooth Add-in that is causing the problem.  Click on the File menu, then Options and then on Add-Ins and then click on the Go button alongside Manage Add-ins and if there is a Bluetooth Add-in, disable it.

    I am so angry and frustrated!  I am paying $16 a month and excel and word constantly say they are not responding.  I cannot find a phone number to call and get help, so I just keep paying.  I am getting ready to cancel.  I have had it.  

    Microsoft - get a call center and let your customers call you!!!!! the money you are making off of us, you can afford it.  I actually manage call centers, I can set up a real cheap team for you, if you are having trouble with this let me know.

    I can't download my sales for the week and then audit, correct and send them to our client because every single time I download a report in excel it says - excel is not responding!!! or I start working get 5 minutes in and it starts this.  I am so frustrated.  forums are confusing and a waste of time, I don't want to be my own customer service or tech person and have to look things up on my own.  I seriously cannot believe that when you go to contact us there is no phone number and just  a bunch of options to help yourself.

    Am I the only one that thinks this??????????

    I installed Office Home & Student 2013.  But when I try to call up Word with my shortcut, I got a message that says:  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  My computer is only two weeks old and would not take my old Office 2003.  I now have Windows 8 which S**ks as I did have Windows XP which I loved.  I feel like a computer invalid with this new Windows 8.  It already instructed me to download Windows 8.1 for free, but had a problem and would not download.....Can someone help me get Office 2013 working?
