  • Your version of Word for the Mac 2016 is over a year old, if that is what your are referring to with version 15.32.. As of April 2018, unless you are on a corporate volume license, you should be running 16.12 on the Mac and even then the corporate volume
    version of Mac Word should be 15.47.

    Until you bring yourself up to current, trying to figure out what is going wrong in your system is useless at least on the Mac side … In My Opinion. :-)
