Can print og make pdf's from MS Word
I am experiencing a persistent issue with Microsoft Word on macOS.
• macOS version: Latest (26.1)
• Microsoft Word version: 16.103 (desktop version in a 365 enviroment)
• Word was reinstalled – no change
• Printer system works normally in all other applications
• In Word, selecting File → Print results in absolutely no response (no dialog, no error)
• Word works perfectly in a newly created macOS test user account
What I have already tried:
- Reinstalled Microsoft Word
- Removed all Word-related preference files (plist)
- Removed and rebuilt the Office Group Containers folder (UBF8T346G9.Office)
- Deleted Normal.dotm and rebuilt templates
- Reset macOS print preferences in my main user account
- Cleared Saved Application State for Word
- Verified that printing works from every other app (Preview, Safari, Excel, etc.)
- Verified that Word can print when logged in as a different macOS user
Conclusion:
The issue appears to be caused by a corruption or malfunction inside my primary macOS user profile.
Microsoft Word cannot open the print dialog at all, while the same installation works in a fresh test user on the same Mac. I need assistance diagnosing or repairing the underlying macOS user-level dialog or permission subsystem that is preventing Word from showing the print dialog.
Seems to start after upgrading to 26.1
Is there a wau to solve this without creating a new useraccount on my mac?
