Weird!<\/p>\n<p>So, a workaround is to close Word documents in order to surf the web without crashed. But is that the best solution? No. Word should be able coexist with &#8230; Internet Explorer. For the record I am using Word as part of Office 2010. I may try to edit documents online (using Office 365) as the default &#8211; this may resolve the issue long-term. At this point, I still prefer using the locally installed Word but I cannot handle IE crashes and restarts. So, another real fix is this: go into Internet Explorer&#8217;s Internet options, into Programs &#8211; you can see there is an HTML editing option. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY edits web pages in Word [the default]! Microsoft Word is the king of standard and advanced document editing, but it is not used for editing HTML pages. I do not care what anyone says otherwise ;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>So, do yourself a favor and change this to Notepad. This will not eliminate certain other types of crashes, for example, PISS POOR design on websites &#8211; something all too common these days. But it will go a long way to stop many crashes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/riguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IE-11b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6711\" src=\"http:\/\/riguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IE-11b-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"IE-11b\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IE-11b-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/riguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IE-11b.jpg 426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so shocking when you have a brand new ASUS Windows 8.1 hybrid touch, keyboard laptop, but standard web surfing CRASHES continuously.
