Word 2013 not opening with windows 8

Word 2013 is not opening in windows 8 either in normal or safe mode.  I have tried deleting the ABBYY FileFinder file and still no joy.  I have spent the day searching through all threads and support through the Microsoft support pages but nothing helps.  I get the We're 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 it now?

When I select the repair option nothing works.  I also get the same message when trying to open in safe mode.

All other programmes like Excel, PowerPoint and Access all open without issues.  Please help.

See the Article “Why can’t I start my Office 2013 application at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/why-cant-i-start-my-office-2013-application-HA104011864.aspx
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.

Hope this helps,
