Microsoft word opens for a second and then closes automatically.

word opened and I could open a document, but it is in read only compatability mode
Try this:
Go to PROGRAMS AND FEATURES (or Add REMOVE PROGRAMS) --> find MS OFFICE --> select REPAIR
Reboot and see if it helped
If not, download CC Cleaner FREE version http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download and scan REGISTRY for errors. Repeat scanning and fixing until no errors are found (...and select to backup registry prior to each repair). It's intuitive interface, you'll manage it without problems.
Repair OFFICE (above mentioned) again, reboot and see if it helps.
Another option is to use MICROSFT FixIT wizard to reset MS Word options to default. Maybe some settings are corrupted:
