It sounds like you updated to Catalina rather than High Sierra. On Catalina 32-bit apps will no longer run, you were warned of this when you upgraded to Catalina. Office 2011 will no longer run. Office 2016 has a free update to 64-bit. Otherwise you must purchase either Office for Mac 365 or Office for Mac 2019.

Do you have a Time Machine backup to Restore to/from?

Look into the Free LibreOffice, it handles MS Office files…

Apple macOS (Mac OS X)

The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on a Apple macOS computer are as follows:

• LibreOffice 6.3.x: macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher

• LibreOffice 6.2.x: macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher

• Intel processor

• 512 MB RAM

• Up to 800 MB available hard disk space

• 1024x768 graphic device with 256 colors (higher resolution recommended)

It is a recommended best practice to back-up your system and data before you remove or install software.

Notes:

• For certain features of the software - but not most - Java is required. Java is notably required for Base.

• Due to an issue, there are the following restrictions with Java: on macOS 10.10 and newer, JRE isn't found, JDK is required

• LibreOffice 4.3 can still run on OS X 10.6+, but please understand that this support ended when 4.3 was retired on May 27, 2015.
