My MS Word has worked fine until a few days ago, but suddenly it has decided Microsoft 365 needs to be activated and stopped working. Any idea why this happened and how to fix it? Many thanks.

My MS Word is currently on Read-Only mode and contents cannot be copied and transferred to other applications.
