I'm running a Beta version of Word for Mac, 16.97 and I recently encountered a 4707 error whenever opening Word and I can't debug or clear the error message without Force Quitting the application.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Beta versions are published to find bugs like this. Please choose Help>Feedback>Report a problem and include as many details as possible of the circumstances that lead to the error, so the problem can be reproduced and eliminated. Submitting sends the report to the PowerPoint programming team. They are unlikely to reply.

I'm having the same problem. No way to send feedback, given that the error won't clear and I havr to force quit the entire application.
Word 16.98
Mac OS 15.4.1
I was able to resolve this problem by throwing away my Word application and reinstalling Office.
This is the downside of using beta versions. You will see bugs that other users may never encounter.
