Word does not let me in

If you're encountering issues with Word and PowerPoint where it states that the repairing attempt failed, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Run a Repair: Go to Control Panel, find Microsoft Office in the list of installed programs, right-click it, and select Change. Choose the Online Repair option to fix any issues with the installation.
2. Check for Updates: Make sure that your Microsoft Office applications are up to date. You can do this by opening any Office application, going to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
3. Start in Safe Mode: Try starting Word or PowerPoint in Safe Mode. You can do this by holding down the Ctrl key while opening the application. This can help determine if the issue is related to add-ins or extensions.
4. Check for Conflicting Software: Sometimes, other software can conflict with Office applications. Consider disabling any third-party add-ins or antivirus software temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
5. Reinstall Office: If the above steps do not work, you may need to uninstall and then reinstall Microsoft Office to resolve any underlying issues.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, it may be necessary to consult Microsoft support for further assistance.
