Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly

I'm trying to open Microsoft Word and I'm getting the following error message:

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 now?

I tried to repair multiple times. I ran the trouble shooter and tried all options. I'm still getting the same message. Any ideas to get Word to work?

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.

Hope this helps,
