Ok. I just did this about a month ago for my old Office 2010 instalation, 
because it would actually not let me uninstall it until I had performed a 
repair as something was broken. I'm now looking at Office 2016 in control 
panel, and I do not see a repair option. I discovered though that I can do this 
through the "modify" button in the settings app. Unfortunate as I much prefer 
control panel, but it seems Microsoft considers the settings app to be priority 
now and is trying to get people to use that for most things. The control 
panel/settings dichotomy is one of the most hilarious things about Windows 10, 
which is an oS I generally do like.

However, you might have this option in Control panel, especially as you are 
using an older version of Office. , so I'll try and tell you what I did. No 
guarantees that this won't be slightly different for your experience, but try 
this:

Hit windows key + r to open the run dialog box.
Type "control" (without quotes obviously) and hit enter
Control panel will open.
Hit "p" three times or so, and "programs and features" will be announced. Hit 
enter.
Now you can use first letter navigation to get to your "microsoft office". 
Hit the applications key and you should see, at the very least, "uninstall" and 
"change". Maybe there will also be a "repair" option there. If not, try 
"change" and see what happens. Once you pick an option from that menu, remember 
that the user account control box will likely open and you will have to hit 
alt-y to click "yes".

If you have to do this through the settings app instead, as I now apparently 
do, the steps will be a bit different. The way I get there is to hit windows 
key to open the search box, and type "apps". You should hear "apps and 
features" if you do this. You can hit enter there. You'll see a list of 
installed stuff. Unfortunately these pesky new Windows apps won't let you use 
first letter navigation, so you'll just have to use your arrow keys and/or page 
down until you get to what you want, or you can type "office" into the search 
box, which will probably also work.

I sympathise if you find this method a little annoying; I personally wish 
Microsoft just kept everything in control panel, but that's just not the way 
it's going.

Could you supply the instruction for the control panel option, please?

No idea really. But maybe try doing a repair of your office instalation from 
within control panel. It does seem to fix some problems related to corruption 
of Office. Just let the repair run while you do other things; it can take 
several minutes. If it doesn't fix the problem, try searching around web forums 
for others who have had similar issues. Bleeping Computer is a good one. There 
are Microsoft Support forums as well.

Afternoon all.

Using JAWS 2018, Word 13 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop, I am having a really 
odd problem.

When I go to open Word 13, I get several strange messages. The first one says 
that I do not have sufficient memory or disk space to perform the requested 
operation. When I press enter on the “okay” button, wordword opens a blank 
document. Another time, after attempting to open word 13, I got a message that 
there are too many fonts to open the document.

Has anyone ever gotten these messages, and if so, what was the solution, if 
there is one? Thanks in advance.

Jerry
