What happens when you try, is there an error message.
Try to repair your Office install. Open Apps and Features and look for Office 2013 in the list, select it and then Modify. This should open the install dialog and you can select Repair.

Just wanted to say that I, too, am suffering from this dreadful issue, which started occurring only after I updated my machine to Windows 10 version 1809 earlier today.
Symptoms:
- All other Microsoft Office programs appear to be running fine, just like before, except for Word (2016 and 2019, doesn't matter which version)
- I can open any Word document (.doc, .docx, etc.) and edit it without issue, but clicking the "Save" icon does nothing, likewise for "CTRL+S"
- When trying to choose a save destination folder through "Save as", clicking "Browse" does nothing
- When closing any Word document, I get the following prompt: "Want to save your changes to "(document name)"? If you click "Don't Save", a recent copy of this document will be temporarily available.", but clicking "Save" does nothing and "Don't Save" simply closes the document without saving it
Already tried:
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office 2016 and re-installing Microsoft Office 2019 from scratch (no success)
- Disabling "Controlled folder access" from within Microsoft Defender Security Center (was already turned off by default)
- Adding WINWORD.exe as a an "Allowed app" through "Controlled folder access"
Is there anything else that can be done about this, since this never happened to me before and it's keeping me from working! :(
