My copy of Office was crashing and not responding and I could no longer get updates for the software I suspect due to the fact that I was using a year old version of the software.

Now a year later I had not tried to upgrade to any recent builds which might have something to do with what went wrong. I finally ended up formatting my hard drive and installing Windows all over again just get Office to install. I had trouble then uninstalling the previous copy of Office and putting in a new copy. I installed a copy of Office 2016 from about a year ago from this forum using the OfficeRTool from here.
