Hi! Let me help you.
Does it happen with other Microsoft Office applications too, or just Word?
No worries. To activate Microsoft 365, open any app - let's say Word - and go to File > Account > User information. Sign in with the username and password of the Microsoft account that paid for the subscription. That activates the software. After doing that, you might have to close and re-open the app.
