I cannot copy and paste or use the drop-down menus in the equation editor without causing Word to crash. I had a similar problem when I made the mistake of having Co-Pilot enabled. But things were ok after I disabled Copilot until today. I have lost almost an entire day of productivity due to this <profanity removed> terrible software.

    Do these problems occur when you start Word in safe mode?

    Are you using the desktop application?
