I am encounting the same problems: word keeps crashing and EN is not usable. I have tried the appleeventsd workaround, but appleeventsd will relaunch at some stage though. This is very annoying, as the word documents can not be saved or restored. So until there is a bug-fix from TR there is no way to use EN on a MAC.
I dont want to write to apple to describe a problem, which I dont understand. I just want to use the software, the way it is intented to be used.
I expect the software, which is payed for, to work without any problems and not being told to contact the computer manufacturer. Please provide a fix for this problem!
Thanks
