Microsoft Word stopped working!

We have a Microsoft 365 Basic plan. We only use Word and it has stopped working. Very limited PC skills so will need very easy step by step help. We are using Windows 11 and PC is used by family so cannot say what has been recently added or changed on PC. Ready to cancel subscription! Messages we get when trying to open any Word documents.

    Microsoft 365 Basic is only for web and mobile apps (Basic does include additional OneDrive space and e-mail storage as well). If you are trying to use Word, Excel etc. locally under Windows, you'll need a different product.

    Or are you saying that you see an error message in Word for the web?
