Office Mac 2016 error. Word cannot create work file. Check the amount of start up disk space

I keep receiving this error.  Before and after upgrade from Yosemite to Capitan.  And then after upgrading to Office 2016 on Capitan I am still receiving it.  My HD has ~60Gb and I have rebooted several times without improvement.  Excel also has similar problems.  The problem is intermittent, but once it happens it seems rebooting does delay its return for a few hours.  The name on my hard drive is Macintosh HD and I have not changed any other settings to my knowledge.

A new 15.16 release is out, please use Help>Check for Updates in any Office app to install it, then check if Word's operation is improved.

I started this thread a few months ago, and unfortunately I can't say that I have any magic solution.  I have done one thing that seems to work and that was keeping Office 2016, but taking my Mac into the Genius bar and having them put Yosemite back on.  That was almost a month ago and so far so good, no more errors, though I am unsure if this is really a fix.  Good luck.
