Cannot open MS Word

When I try to open MS Word 2013 in Windows 8.1 I get a 2 x 3 inch version just above the Word logo on the task bar. It will not enlarge. I attempted to do a quick repair on the MS Word program but received the following error code: 1610612703-8

What do I try next? Help!

Can you start Word in Safe mode? Exit Word if it is currently running. Hold the Ctrl key as you click your usual shortcut for starting Word. When asked about Safe mode, click yes.
