Microsoft Word

Were sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result.

Would you like us to repair now?

    Hi, I am an Independent Advisor, and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Microsoft Word.

    Please close all Word files.

    Try a Quick Repair for Microsoft Office.

    Follow the steps below.

    Press Windows + R, type: appwiz.cpl

    Locate Microsoft Office / Microsoft 365 > Change > select Quick Repair first.

    If it is still not working, run Online Repair. Online Repair will uninstall and reinstall your Microsoft Office Suite. This method will take longer to complete.
