I am trying to open MS Word 2013. I have purchased the MS Office online and pay a subscription. When opening MS Word, it comes up with the error message "Sorry, something went wrong and word was unable to start. (6)" This appears to be happening with all MS office applications. Can someone please help? 

Please try to repair your Office as a quick fix.

If the repair doesn't work, please uninstall the current installed Office, and reinstall it again.

To uninstall the Office, follow the instructions in the following support article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501

I faced this same problem and reinstalled office several times but no luck, then followed below steps and got my issue resolved:

Solution is that you run word in "Administrative" mode:

To run the Word program in administrator mode, try the step below:

go to Computer, Programs files/Program files X (86).

Look for Microsoft Office ->Office 15.

Look for Winword.exe

Right click on it and click Properties

Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box forRun as admin.

Clickok.

The above worked just fine...

For Windows 8 follow these alternate instructions-

Pull up your mini tiles

Look for the Word tile

RIGHT click on the Word tile and you will see a check mark in the top right corner

Now look down to the bottom of your page and you will see an option to "Run as administrator"

LEFT click that option, you will be asked to permit this program to make changes to your hard drive

Permit the action and Word should automatically open for you at that time

Fixed my issue!

This solution works great.  Just have to search from winword.exe...good to go!  Thanks!

Hi

I got it to work by opening task manager and ending the officeclicktorun.exe process, it should restart by itself, if it doesn't open services and restart the "Microsoft Office ClickToRun Service" service, it has worked for me every time so far.

To end the officeclicktorun.exe process:

1. Open task manager by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC
2. Select the Processes tab
3. Scroll down the list to officeclicktorun.exe
4. Right click the officeclicktorun.exe node and select End Process

Thanks, this is the  perfect solution
