I recently purchased an HP Envy23 with Windows 8. Office 2007 (pro) installed and ran fine. Then I (stupidly?) upgraded to 8.1 without making a recovery disk to downgrade if I didn't like it (I didn't learn about this till after I updated to 8.1). Well ... Word 2007 is hanging whenever I ... save, use keyboard shortcuts, click and drag to select text, try to close a document ... you name it, I could continue the list. I end up having to End Task in Task Manager, but then nothing I just did in the document is saved.
I spent a good portion of today double checking the updates to make sure I had SP3 and other recent security updates. I've restarted my computer several times, as well. Nothing seems to help.
I have installed no other software since updating to Windows 8.1. I already ran my antivirus and malware software. Both came back clean.
What updates should I look for, or what could you suggest I do to fix this problem. My dissertation proposal is at a standstill until I fix this.
