The Dragon Naturally Speaking version 12 works with MS Outlook as well as MS Excel however whenever I attempt to open MS Word i get a response Microsoft Word has stopped working: A problem caused te program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Please help me or inform me how long shall it take to provide the solution.

Dragon’s site says this has been resolved with v12.5: http://nuance.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/15089/kw/word%202013
Hi Apurva,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community.
I shall try to assist you in related to your Word issue.
Verify if the ‘Dragon naturally speaking’ (Netspeak) add-in is enabled in Word application?
Try running the Word application as administrator by following the steps below
Right click on Word application and click ‘Run as admin’.
And follow the steps below to enable naturally speaking (add-in) in Word and check if it works fine.
Click on File, Options, Add-ins, and Click on ‘GO’ beside Manage – COM Add-ins and check the add-in option next to Netspeak and click OK
I hope this helps. If you need any further information, you can always reply and I’ll be happy to help you.
Thank you.
Microsoft Word 13 crashes after I run Dragon 13 Legal for awhile and then does so repeatedly. My version of Word does not have the add-in that you discuss at all -- it is not an option when I go into Options. Any other suggestions?
I've had the same problem w Dragon and Word 2013. Since I'm a translator and rely on Dragon to be able to accomplish the volume that I need, I'm unistalling Word 2013.
I'll try again later.
Same here, I'm also a translator, and have been forced to stick with Dragon Professional Individual (14) + MS Word 2007.
For some strange reason, I could not get MS Word 2010 to install on my computer, no matter what I did. Therefore, I am currently forced to use a copy of MS Word that is 9 years old!!!
When will this be fixed!!??!! Given the track records of both Nuance and Microsoft, I have a feeling the answer is Never.
This is not an isolated issue. See e.g.:

Yes, i have the same problem with the flickering (short duration highlighting of all the text above where the cursor is as soon a word is uttered) - so annoying. And it does this on 32-bit even for DNS11 on Office 2013/Windows 10.
