Woof. Zorin OS was running Crossover and Microsoft Word 2016 great. After a recent update, Word is now crashing randomly and displaying improperly.
Should I roll back the Zorin updates? I don't think there was any Crossover update.
If I should roll it back, how do I do that? I know how to use the command line but am very uncomfortable with it.
[Please don't come in my mentions and tell me to use Libre Office. That is not the question.]

@D_J_Nathanson have you found a solution?
@mosgaard Thanks for asking. Not yet. It's intermittent, so I'm not sure whether to use Word/Crossover or not.
It's like a slasher movie. When will the crash jump out at me?
Libre Writer can fill in the gaps for the moment, thankfully but it isn't my preferred solution.
@D_J_Nathanson if you haven't done so already, I would drop a post in the Zorin Forum, and see if others experience the same.
We use Office 365 at work, so I have Word running in the browser. Which is kind of strange, because the whole "autonomy of data" thing, becomes like a spare time activity.
I hope one day to be able to move my colleagues to Infomaniak, where they can use Word in a closed environment - but it's still Word: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/ksuite-pro
@mosgaard Interestingly, I have the same Crossover running Word 2016 combination on a Linux Mint machine and do not have this problem.
I think I need to get to the Advanced Options for Zorin menu but when I hit esc on boot, it just brings me to a grub> prompt.
@D_J_Nathanson seems strange, I'm afraid my technical knowledge is too limited to give any suggestions at this point.
I hope you find the right help in the forum!
@mosgaard I was just thinking out loud. Not your responsibility! I appreciate the suggestions that you had.
@mosgaard "Spare time activity" is both hilarious and depressing. I will drop a note in the forums!
