Microsoft office cheap for mac. Jul 01, 2014  Question: Q: Spinning Wheel in Word and Excel Over the last couple of days when I use Microsoft Word or Excel, I get the spinning wheel of death for a minute or so when opening, clicking on or editing a document/spreadsheet. Nov 11, 2019  Once in a while, for no apparent reason, you may encounter the SPOD (Spinning Pinwheel of Death). It's that multicolored pinwheel mouse pointer that signifies a temporary delay while your Mac tries to figure something out. In this case, your Mac is trying to think but nothing happens, so the pinwheel keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning.

Hi guys,

I found a sneaky way to get a document 'unfrozen'. I take no responsibility for what happens if you try this, but it worked for me.

I went to Utilities -> Activity Monitor. Then under the Memory Tab, I selected 'Windows Server' and shut this down. The screen went blank and I was sent back to the User log-in screen. Then after I logged in again, my document was re-opened and re-appeared in the 'Recovered' state. I did have 'Allow Backround Saves' and 'Save AutoRecover Info every 10 minutes' ticked in my Preferences (under the Word menu). And I probably didn't need to do it this way because of that.
