Hi Everyone!

I recently upgraded to the new Office Suite for Mac (2016 version) and now my Microsoft Word is pretty useless. I can start a new document and type, but once I try to adjust the settings (e.g., font, text size, add bullets/numbering, etc.) it just goes crazy. The first time it happened, my screen went half black and half pixalized. The second time, well I really don't know how to describe it so please see the attached photo. I've uninstalled the Office Suite, restarted my computer and reinstalled Office, but nothing I do seems to help. I really don't know what to do at this point, so I would very much appreciate any help you guys can offer.

Thanks in advance!

P.S., I used some of the other Office 2016 apps to see if the same glitch occurs, but it doesn't. The major glitch is ONLY happening in Word. The other apps do have a little lag, but they fix themselves fairly quickly and I can resume editing without the apps going crazy/freezing/glitching.
