We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now

    Run an online repair which is much more comprehensive than the one you get if you click on Repair Now.

    Note, if your Word is prior to Office 2016, check to make sure you either have your installation media and product key or that it is attached to your Microsoft account.
