Recognizing that “stuff” happens, Microsoft offers an Office Repair utility. Because Word 2016 is a part of the Office suite of programs, the Office Repair utility works to fix anything horrifically wrong with Word. Obey these steps:
May 14, 2012 Intel Mac:: System Preferences Not Opening - Code 1712 Mar 24, 2012 My system preferences will not open and I get code 1712 with the message that it is unable to open.No new software was installed prior to this happening. Oct 18, 2009 Office 2016 for Mac is available for Office 365 and Volume Licensing customers. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users: the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. Jun 27, 2008 The Mac OS X System Error Code -1712 is a bit of an ambiguous one as all that it means is that the application has timed out. We got Error Code -1712 when we tried to run Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection on one of our staff’s Macbook. To diagnose this error in more detail we opened up the “Force Quit Applications” with command + option + esc. The program that I was trying to open was already open (RDC), so I force quit it in the list.
Close Word and any other Office programs. You should do so now; otherwise, you’ll be asked to do so again later.
Press the Win+X keyboard shortcut. In Windows 10, the Windows-and-X key combination brings up the super-secret shortcut menu in the lower left corner of the screen. If you’re using Windows 7, just click on the Start button.
Choose Control Panel.
Below the Programs heading, click the Uninstall a Program link. Don’t freak out: You’re not uninstalling Word. The link should read “Uninstall or Change a Program,” which is the title of the Control Panel screen you see next.
Select Microsoft Office from the list of programs. The name may be subtly different, such as Microsoft Office 2016 or Microsoft Office 365.
Click the Change button. The Office Repair utility runs, showing a screen similar to the one shown here.
Choose Quick Repair. If this choice doesn’t work, go back and choose Online Repair when you try again.
Click the Repair button.
Click the Repair button again to confirm.
Wait. The Office Repair utility attempts to figure out what’s wrong. What happens next depends on whether anything is fixed. If something needs attention, obey the directions on the screen. If everything is fine, you see the Done Repairing message (even if nothing was actually wrong).
Click the Close button.
