Hello Jade,
Thank you for contacting us regarding your difficulty opening Microsoft Word on your Android device. I understand how important it is to have uninterrupted access to your documents, and I’m here to help.
To begin troubleshooting, please try the following steps:
- Verify Your Microsoft Account: Ensure you are signed in with the Microsoft account associated with your Office subscription. You can check this by opening the Word app and tapping your profile icon.
- Update the App: Visit the Google Play Store to confirm that you have the latest version of Microsoft Word installed.
- Clear App Cache: Navigate to Settings > Apps > Word > Storage, then tap Clear Cache. Afterward, try reopening the app.
- Reinstall the App: If the issue persists, uninstall the Word app and reinstall it from the Play Store.
- Check Subscription Status: If you're using premium features, please verify that your Microsoft 365 subscription is active by visiting https://account.microsoft.com
To assist you further, could you please confirm the following:
>> Are you seeing any specific error messages when attempting to open the app?
>> Have you recently changed devices or updated your Android operating system?
>> Are you using Word through a personal Microsoft account or a work/school account?
