If a Microsoft Office application has been Not Responding for several minutes the likelihood is it has crashed.
Close the Application by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, selecting Task Manager, highlighting the application and clicking close.
Once the application has closed you should then open it again in the usual way.
Most of the time the application should be able to recover your document for you from the time when it crashed. However this is not guaranteed as the application can crash for many different reasons.
If the application does not provide you with a recovered copy of your document(s) you will have to revert back to the version of your document from the last time you saved it. We strongly recommend that you save your work at regular intervals.
