I upgraded my computer to the new operating 64 bit system and lost my ability to run microsoft office. How do I fix this problem at no cost to me? my Microsoft Office was fine before this.
If what you have (most likely) is Office 2011, the only free method to continue using it is to restore the backup you made before installing Catalina.
Office 2011 is 32 bit software and will not run in Catalina. No 32 bit apps will. That, and MS will never update Office 2011. All support for it was dropped over a year ago.
If you have other apps that require Catalina, then you have no choice but to replace your old version of Office.

All Macs and their operating systems have been 64 bit for ten years or more.
If your Microsoft Office is 32bit it will not open in macOS Catalina, so you will need to
buy a 64bit version of Office. You should have done your research before upgrading.
If you want a free app similar to Office try LibreOffice.
