Microsoft 365 Won't Open On Mac

Hi, For the last couple of days, the word app on my mac won't open. It bounces after clicking in the icon and then nothing happens. I have to force the app to shut down. All the other office apps are working fine. I downloaded the latest version of Mac OS. What should I do to fix this? If the Open in OneNote or Edit in OneNote command in OneNote for the web doesn’t work, it means there’s something wrong with the add-on that this command uses. There are several things you can do to get the add-on working. First of all, make sure you have Microsoft OneNote 2010 or later installed on your computer because earlier versions of OneNote won't work with this command.
