If I right click on the document and select OPEN Microsoft Word will open and display the DOT or DOTX file and not a new Word document. If I right click and select NEW, Word will not open.

15.4 shuts down abruptly as I edit a document. My iMac is new and running High Sierra 10.13.1. My other problem is drifting — that is, the document shifts around, especially from side to side either by itself or when I’m trying to navigate up and down in a document. This happens with my old plug in mouse from 2008 and my new rechargeable Mighty Mouse 2.

Which one is associated with this purchase? Microsoft: Okay no worries, as I'd be happy to assist you with anything regarding Microsoft products! You will want to select Microsoft Account.

One of my two Exchange accounts triggered a pop-up that stated it was 2010 SP1 and therefore would not allow me to connect to Exchange after import (which aligns with your question). I am now exporting that old archive e-mail and will create a new Outlook 2011 profile with MSDB utility for the “good” Exchange account so that is at 2010SP2 as the only account inside it. I will try to import it again and see if the trouble goes away. The interesting issue is that I was able to go through this exercise at initial installation and even connect to the 2010SP2 Exchange account without issue. It downloaded and synchronized all e-mail, events, and contacts. However, after closing/restarting the application, “something” continues to overwrite the server URL in the configuration.

Hope this helps.
