Wink Quick question, How to stop running macro


Hello Pros,
I'm searching how to stop a running macro. I'm in Word 365.

I've looked it up, Esc, doesn't work, I've tried Ctrl-Alt-Del, but it kills everything of Word.

Isn't there a better solution?
Reason I ask, is that at times, it's slow to do an action, and I rather stop it and do it manually since I have Job rush requests.

When I try, I create a new Normal.dotm.

There must be a way? I've searche here and on Google.

Any help, would be so appreciated

Default I had to look up Ctrl+Break for my keyboard & tried it, no it didn't work

I have a Logiteck K850 and saw I need to do fn+B, and tried it.

Didn't do nothing.

Any other idea?

But thanks for trying.

I was unable to stop some infinite loops even with ctrl+break.

Ctrl-Break won't stop a macro running an infinite loop unless that loop includes a 'Do Events' statement or some other event that allows Word to capture keyboard input while the loop is running.
