I went through Apple support and they had me reinstall office, reboot in safe mode, reinstall OS X and then the last suggestion was to do a clean install of OS X. None of this fixed my issue. I went through Microsoft and they gave me much the same suggestions. Nothing is working. Is there any suggestions?
I had this problem as well, but serendipitously found that if I closed my Dragon for Mac software, Microsoft Word did not crash. If I re-open Dragon, Word crashes. This is reproducible. I do not know if you are using voice recognition software, but closing Dragon for Mac has solved my problem.
Does it show any kind of error message?
Microsoft says there's a known issue:
Customers report that Word 2016 for Mac crashes and returns the error "There is a serious disk error on file".
We're currently investigating this issue, and we'll post updates here as we know more.

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS usually indicates that your Outlook Profile/Identity is corrupt.
Create a new profile and see if the crashing stops.

Add your IMAP accounts and let your data download from the server. Note: IMAP does not save your contacts or calendars. Do you have that data on Outlook 2011?

Re: Office Preview Outlook 2016 crashes
It's for a beta version of Office 2016, but might be the same issue.
I just tried that, and it still crashes....this is so frustrating as I need to run office for work. I am almost to the point of giving up on OS X and just running in bootcamp.
Did you perform a complete uninstall of office or just moved the applications to trash?
Yes I did the complete uninstall. I also went to drastic measures and did a clean install of OS X and office.
Your error report indicate it's your Profile. It's not the install. You can prove that by testing in a new User.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar.
Log into the new User.
You can skip logging in with an Apple ID. Hit continue then skip.
Only Apple apps will be in the Dock.
Go to Applications.
Open Outlook.
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
I did a support call with Microsoft and they took remote control of my machine and uninstalled it.
I just created a new user, started word, excel and powerpoint, and powerpoint crashed. Here is the beginning of the log:

What happened when you tried to launch Outlook in the new User?
Since PP crashed, this indicates some issue at the base level. Do you still have Office 2011 installed. I have on occasion seen removing Office 2011 fixed issues with Office 2016. Usually it's fonts. You could just try moving the Microsoft fonts folder in the main Library/Fonts folder to the Desktop then empty font caches using Font Nuke.
There is a 64 bit version is you are interested in trying it. Under Help in the Menu bar select "Check for Updates". Select Insider Fast and it will download the newest version that is 64 bit.
One other thought if you have an external drive. Install El Capitan and Office 2016. You'll be booted into a clean install. Does it work now?
I have never installed office 2011 on this machine. I will try the 64 bit version and moving fonts and report back.
There will be no Microsoft fonts folder if you have not installed Office 2011. Fonts for Office 2016 are installed in each app package.
Office 2016 crashes on OS X 10.11.6
