Hi Naman,

If you receive this error:

Use this article to remove Office and then try installing it again.

    I have tried looking for help on line, but I haven't had much luck.  When I click Word or Excl to open,I either get the sorry there was a problem message or the screen to enter my product code won't come up.  It says it needs to be repaired, but nothing happens.

    I have been getting messages that something needed to be done. I tried to do install, re-install and contact support. Now I cannot use my software.
