Why is this popping out in my word file? I am using office 365 subscription.

Could you check which version you are running? I am currently on:
Version 1708 (Build 8431.2056
There seem to be no additional updates available for me and my OFfice 365 subscription is set to the most frequent setting: Every month (Current channel)
I would not "repair"
Update the applications. For Office 2016, open any app (e.g., Word), create a new blank doc, click File, click Account, look to the right and click Update Options, the Update Now.
It will take some time and you will see a pop-up working. This fixed the problem for me.
i also got the same problem. i have done the repair thing and found the same things happen
Find your Office app in apps/features . Click on it to expose the “modify” option, then you’ll ultimately get to the quick repair or online options .. to which I succeeded with the quick, with issue resolved
UPDATE:
Per Tony above, I just applied all Office 2016 (not 365) manually and the problem seems resolved in all Office Apps. I recommend everyone apply automatically, or for quicker results, apply manually.
