Got it. After finding my office program, I did the applications key, arrowed
down to change, and there was the repair option. We will wait and see what
happens next. Thanks for the tech help. Send me a bill (preferrably a fifty
or hundred lol).

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
