is your office/ word application bundled together when you purchased your new laptop?

did you see any "Activate" button in your word application?

Activate Office 365, Office 2016, or Office 2013

you may also contact the shop which selling you the laptop to enquiry whether do you still need a license in order to use the Microsoft office/word.

You have to buy Office to be able to use it in full function mode.
Most of the Laptops were shipped with 30 days trial version of Microsoft Office.
After 30 days your microsoft office will be deactivate the trial and you cant use the product without having a new license or you have to buy the product.
