Word 15.26 Upgrade crashes when I press the insert tab

[tommiy]

I posted on Microsoft support but thought I would try here. I recently updated my word 15.25 version to 15.26 and since then if i press the insert tab word crashes. I can restore 15.25 and it works fine again and if I upgrade it again to 15.26 then the insert button crashes word again. I was wondering if any one else has the issue?

The top of the log is below but there is 46 pages of it. Appreciate any responses that would indicate that 15.26 is fine and its just me.

Just noticed this only happens from the ribbon insert tab. If I use the menu insert option it works fine.

corrupted user directory some how. a new user works fine. all this user issues after upgrading to el cap.

after 2 days of working fine after recreating a new user etc i now find that today word is doing the same thing and crashing when ever i use the insert on the ribbon. This is painful and there is obviously some thing that is going on within word and the mac because i've added nothing to the system in the mean time. Back to the drawing board.
