Microsoft Works problem [View all]

I've been using Microsoft Works (from a CD that I got way back when) the past few years on my Windows 10.
Due to unrelated problems I reinstalled Windows 10 last night and have been able to download or reinstall all my programs,
and this morning reinstalled from the CD disk the Microsoft Word.

I can bring up the templates, etc but when I click on any to 'open' it won't respond.

I’ve tried the suggestion online to go to programs, and click on ‘compatability’, but that didn’t work.
One suggestion was to run the CD and click on ‘repair’, but I don’t see it. It just shows ‘install’.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. It installs, but the trmplates won’t open.

Appreciate any/all help.

Thanks
