Hi,

Which version of the Office suite are you using?

Have you tried the uninstall and reinstall process?

To fix the error problem in Microsoft Word and MS Project that indicates they have run into an error and need repair, you can follow these steps:

1. Exit all Office applications: Make sure that all instances of Word, Project, and any other Office applications are closed.
2. Run an Online Repair:
   • Go to Settings on your Windows device.
   • Navigate to Apps and find your Microsoft Office product in the list.
   • Click on it and select Modify.
   • Choose Online Repair and follow the prompts to complete the repair process. This may include a reinstallation of Office, so ensure you have access to your Microsoft account.

If the Online Repair does not resolve the issue, you may need to completely uninstall Office, restart your PC, and then reinstall Office from your Microsoft account.
