Microsoft Word Quits Unexpectedly

I was working on Microsoft Word and everything was fine, but when I tried to click on the application to open a new file an error message came up. I restarted the computer, and now I am unable to access any Microsoft Word documents, because the error message keeps popping up.

Not sure how much the problem details will help, but...

I would appreciate any help/ideas anyone has! Thank you so much!

If anyone has any ideas for me to try, I would really appreciate it! I'm a college student, and not being able to use Word on my laptop is going to kill me!
