Hi @Hemdi,

Good day, and I hope you are doing well.

To help me better understand the issue you are experiencing with Microsoft Word and provide more accurate guidance, kindly share a screenshot of the error message or the exact wording shown.

While waiting for your response, you may also try reviewing the following common steps that can often help resolve Word-related issues. Please feel free to let me know if any of these can be applied to your situation:

1/ Restart your device to clear any temporary system issues.

2/ Try Word on the web:

Sign in to https://word.cloud.microsoft/ with your account.

This can help check whether the issue is related to the desktop application.

3/ Run Office Quick Repair:

Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features
Select Microsoft 365 or Office
Click Change > choose Quick Repair

If the issue persists, try Online Repair (this performs a more thorough repair).

For reference: Repair an Office application - Microsoft Support

4/ Check for updates:

Open any Office app > File > Account > Update Options > Update Now

5/ Start Word without add-ins

Try starting Word in troubleshooting mode by pressing Windows + R, typing winword /safe, and pressing Enter.
This starts Word without add-ins and global templates, which helps check whether an add-in is causing the problem.

6/ Uninstall and reinstall Office

If the issue persists after trying the above steps, you may consider uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Office.

You can find guidance for uninstalling and reinstalling Office here:

Uninstall Microsoft 365 from a PC - Microsoft Support.

Download, install, or reinstall Microsoft 365 or Office 2024 on a PC or Mac - Microsoft Support.

Please feel free to try the steps above at your convenience. If the issue persists, you’re most welcome to reply on this thread with a screenshot or the exact error message. I would be glad to take a closer look and assist you further.

I look forward to continuing the conversation.

Answer 2

Follow these steps in order until Word works again.

Close all Office apps
Make sure Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. are all closed.
Run an Online Repair of Office
This fixes most “Word has run into an error” problems, even when the in‑app repair prompt fails.
1. Open Settings in Windows.
2. Go to Apps > Installed apps (or Apps & features on some versions).
3. Find the Microsoft Office / Microsoft 365 entry.
4. Select it, choose Modify.
5. Select Online Repair, then Repair and let it complete.
6. Restart Windows and try Word again.
If Word still won’t work, do a full reinstall of Office
If Online Repair does not resolve the error:
1. Go back to Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
2. Select Microsoft Office / Microsoft 365 and choose Uninstall.
3. Restart the computer (use Restart, not Shut down).
4. Reinstall Office from the Microsoft account or school portal where it was originally obtained.
5. Open Word and test again.

If the error persists even after a clean reinstall, the issue is likely environmental (Windows profile, disk, or malware). In that case, involve the school/IT admin to check the Windows profile and system health before reinstalling again.
