    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 

    version: 14.5.8

Also, downloaded file from external sources when contain Arial Bold also have the same problem. When it shuts down, all my work including work open in other word/ppt windows is lost as well.

    Office crashes on Macs are often caused by font conflicts. Such crashes may be indicated by a line like ‘Crashed Module Name: libTrueTypeScaler.dylib’ in the crash log. Go to the Applications folder and run the FontBook app (located in Applications/Utilities folder) to resolve any duplicates. FontBook Help can guide you through the process. If you do find any duplicates you must restart your system after resolving them. If font-related problems persist, you may have a damaged font file – FontBook won’t tell you if a font file is damaged. Since your problem concerns Arial Bold, in particular, try uninstalling, then reinstalling that font. For the details, see: http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/03/installing-removing-fonts-in-mac-os-x/.

    PS: Don't simply reinstall a copy of the damaged font.
