Office Tab: Fixing Crashes When Tabbed Windows Cause Problems

Author Tech Support Last modified

If using Office Tab has caused crashes in Excel, Word, or PowerPoint, here are proven steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Update to the latest version. Download and install the newest Office Tab release from the official site.

  2. Disable other add-ins. In the Office app: go to File → Options → Add‑Ins, select COM Add‑Ins from the Manage dropdown, click Go…, and uncheck non‑Office Tab add‑ins.

    com-add-ins

  3. Gather diagnostic info. If crashes persist, send a screenshot of your Add‑Ins Manager with your Office version and system details to sales@extendoffice.com.

  4. Check desktop‑management software. Tools that manage windows or screen behavior may conflict with Office Tab. Disable or uninstall temporarily — if the crash stops, that's likely the cause.

Note: These steps apply whether you’re using Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
