If you were using Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 or earlier, as you have found, they are not compatible with Catalina. Options include either subscribing to Office 365 or making a one-time purchase of the current version of Office: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir
