Office 2013 won't open

I recently downloaded office 2013 and did some work on it. However, I came to print off my English coursework and office won't work at all. I tried all the applications and they didn't work, I also tried to reinstall it through the shortcut in the menu of windows 8.1 but noting happened at all. This is the message I've been given:  

Winwordexe- Application error

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application

I therefore cannot access word, or any other office 2013 product

See the Article “Why can’t I start my Office 2013 application at:

If that does not help, then you might remove all traces of the Office installation by downloading the fixit from the following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501
saving it to your computer and then running it.

Then reinstall Office by logging into www.office.com/myaccountwith your registered email address and click Install Office.
