Hi Paul,
As I understand you’re facing issue working with the Microsoft Office Word program.
I would need more information to help you better.
- What is the exact error message you receive?
- Are you able to work with the other Office applications?
- From which Microsoft article you have tried using the Fixit tool?
Try Working in Word safe and check if it helps. To know how to start Outlook in Safe mode, follow the steps below.
Hold the windows key + Letter ‘R’ from the keyboard to launch the Run command > Copy and paste the following command line in the open box and click Ok.
Winword /safe
If Word safe works as expected, disable the add-ins as suggested below:
a. Click on File menu.
b. Click Options.
c. Click Add-ins.
d. Click on Go button besides Manage: Com-Add-in.
e. Check if there are add-ins listed, clear the checkbox to disable them.
f. Close the Word and restart it.
You may also try clearing the startup folder from the following location and check if it helps:
C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\STARTUP
Or
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClentX86 or ClientX64\Root\Office15\STARTUP
Note: Take the backup of the files before deleting.
