Unable to read Word documents. What can I do?

I just tried this and it modified my Dropbox files, but I still get the same error message that the file may have become corrupted and to use text converter. Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Just solved the issue! I had downloaded Dropbox from the Dropbox website. I deleted that and downloaded the Dropbox app from the Microsoft Store. Now I can open my MS Office documents without a problem.
