word 15 error 24

I am getting this when I try to attach files to my webmail. When i browse to a word 365 file and click it the error 24 appears and will keep returning every few mins a online repair fixes this but is it a bug or glitch MS needs to fix?
Does the error message include any text?  If so, what is it?
Hope this helps,

Hi Michael,

 

As I understand you are unable to attach Word documents as an attachment to the email from web-mail.

 

I would need more information on the issue:

1. Does the issue occur only while attaching Word files as attachment?

2. Are you able to open Word files saved on the computer?

3. Are you able to attach other Office application files as attachment to an email from web-mail?

4. Try to attach a PDF or a WordPad file as attachment and check if it works fine.

5. Which is the default web-browser set up on the computer?

Set Internet Explorer as default web-browser and check. Refer to the link to set Internet Explorer as default web-browser:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-your-default-web-browser

 

If Internet Explorer was set as default previously then reset internet Explorer. Refer to the link mentioned to reset Internet Explorer:

You will also lose any password saved while logging into email service provider websites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.

I have not been getting that error message lately I will re post if it happens again. I was trying to attach PDF or word files to my web mail when the issue was happening. I believe it was because it was not displaying the preview in windows explorer correctly. But now outlook hangs and will not close so something is buggy.

This is the error I get when I try to open a word document from my documents folder. 

I have run the short repair and the long repair to no success. I have windows 10 pro 64 bit.

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

or

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3091375.

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.

BEFORE REMOVING THE OFFICE INSTALLATION,  MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT!

Or, to see how to go back to your previous version of Windows, take a look at:
