[Hidden-tech] Microsoft Office headache in Windows 10

[Aaron E-J]

You could also go to settings > app > search for 'office' or 'word' > 
click once on the icon, click 'modify' > on the window that shows up, 
click repair. I have needed to do this several times on my Office 2010 
(a better version than the current one that has striped out a lot of the 
features).
Or just use LibreOffice - it has as many or more features as Microsoft's 
proprietary version and I find the 'Calc' app has a much better user 
interface than the 'Excel' equivalent.

There is nothing I have tried that will make this screen go away so I can open a Word document.  I have tried changing the computer resolution, quitting via Task Manager, tabbing to every single option available, and nothing works to get me to a "finish" point to get rid of the interpolated screen.
