    Open Word.

    At the top right of Word, log out of Office.

    Restart (not shut down) your PC, then log back into Office, is your Office licence/subscription then recognized correctly.

    2

    If not, log into your Microsoft account on this link, is your Office licence listed correctly there, or if that is a subscription, check the expiry date listed on your subscription, is that listed correctly.

    https://account.microsoft.com/services/

    3

    If your Office licence/subscription is correctly listed on your account ,please provide full details on the features you are unable to use in Word, and a screenshot of any error you may be seeing.
