Almost certainly you have either not activated your product or it is a
60-day trial version that came free with your computer. Either way, if you
click on Help, Activate Product, you will quickly find out which.

If an expired trial version, you'll have to buy a license.

The version of word that shipped with your computer is a 60 day trial
version. It has now expired. You will have to buy Microsoft Office to
continue using it.
