Microsoft Word 2013 won't allow me to edit or add a graph/chart

As stated above microsoft word 2013 won't allow me to edit or add a graph/chart in any document i open, even if I create a new one. This has never happened before and it has always just worked fine before,I haven't done anything new or checked anything different, the only thing i haven't done is make graphs for awhile but that should not just mean it stops working all together. When I click on "insert a graph" -> i get a window that lets me choose the graph/chart i want but when i click ok the window refreshes and continues like that repeatedly, i can never get past "ok", copying graphs works but i can never edit the data on the graphs, i click "edit data" but nothing happens. Also restarting my laptop did not solve the problem.

Plus when i tried to do the same on Microsoft Powerpoint it no longer works either but i get a message "The program or feature "\??\C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows." I'm very confused and this has never happened Before. Does anyone know how to fix this?
