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

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.
Fixed now it seems. System just said an Office Update was available. After it was installed, cannot reproduce the problem.
Hello Gareez,
I just did an Online Repair as well and this did not resolve the issue, would you mind sharing what you did exactly to resolve this issue?

Did, as directed from the "German" case doc'd with MS. Did a repair operation on Office and it's taken care of issue. Relieved, indeed. What a hindrance!
REVISION!
DIDN'T REPAIR .. STILL EVIDENT. REPAIR of Office, DIDN'T FIX !!
Note: I also saw this on open of a document that I just saved to OneDrive (via downloading from Thunderbird into my local OneDrive account) and opened by double-clicking on it from the Explorer window.
