Word WILL NOT open!

Hi , 

Try launching  Microsoft Word 2013 in the safe mode

Type winword /safe and press Enter to start Word 2013 

By running the application in the safe mode we can determine if there is any issues with the add-ins , if the application starts in safe mode disable all add-ins by navigating to File > Options > Add-Ins and restart the application normally 

Please make sure your Windows is fully up-to-date and confirm the operating system version you are facing issues with .

Try this steps ,

• Press the Windows + R key on the keyboard.
• In the Run windows type appwiz -> Click Ok.
• Select Microsoft Office 2013 from the Programs & Features list.
• Click on Change and repair Office 2013 and restart the computer.

Sorry for the typo error ,  Its appwiz.cpl 

• In the Run windows type appwiz.cpl -> Click OK  and continue with the above steps.

Download the free Belarc Advisor and run it on your computer to create an inventory of the software that is installed, which will include the Product Keys for that software where applicable.

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.

Hi Ronaldo,

Are you able to work with other Office 2013 applications?

To work with Word 2013, it is not necessary to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. That said it is better to ensure you have all updates installed on the system.

You may try opening the Office applications from the Program Files location and verify the results. Browse to the following location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX86\Root\Office15 or C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\ ClientX64\Root\Office15). Double click on the application icons (Winword.exe, Excel.exe, Powerpnt.exe and Onenote.exe) to open them.

If issue persists and since repair has not worked, as suggested by ‘Doug’ in his previous post, you may remove Office using the Fix it and then re-install it.

Follow the steps and let us know if that helps.

Thank you
