Thanks for the help along the way!

I'm at 14.3.1 and still getting this incredibly annoying crash on a regular basis. the only positive thing is that neither Word nor Excel seem to be affected by it crashing - in which case, why in hell is the service running? Fixing this should be very trivial for MS - the easiest way to not give everyone who is not subscribed to Office365 a BAD experience would be simply to not have the service run if you have a full retail copy.

Could you post your hardware specs and what error exactly are you getting, logs ?

The only other solution maybe to roll back to an earlier version (before 14.3.0) when the problem began.

27" iMac, Late 2009 with 16GB RAM and OSX 10.8.2

In my case it seems to be crashing more now that I have updated it to 14.3.1 than it did when it was at 14.3.0.

What I believe to be the relevant parts of cthe rash log:

Let me know if you would like to see anything else from the crash log.

I tried deleting the service but it failed

After updating to 14.3.2, Office365Service is no longer running on my system when any of the Office apps are running, so the problem has finally gone away.
