Since you already have the words, just arrange them yourself - it'll should be no problem at all, once you get rid of those "{" and "}" that are just confusing the issue.

I have some screenshots of the "install" process that I'll post on my blog later.
Anyways, I'm sitting right now on "Getting featured templates" on the Word desktop client. I just want to create a blank document!
And lest anyone suggest it, OpenOffice sucks worse.
Sadly, I can no longer use the license key that came with my MSDN subscription ages ago for Office 2010.

I concur, it sucks big time.
I started writing my book with Word 5 (DOS) and and am (still) finishing it off using Word 2003 - I didn't see the need for anything "upgraded" beyond that.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Office 2000 works OK here. Takes a couple or three "ignore" on W10 install but Word and Excel work OK.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The only reason I have a couple of licenses for 2010 is that 2003 doesn't have proper touch support for tablets.

The only touching I do when typing is... touch-typing! 
When I feel the need for a tablet computer, I pull out my trusty laptop (I have a small one for portability and writing and a large one for development, etc.) and the feeling goes away.

Try LibreOffice - it sucks a bit, but I find it better than OpenOffice or Word.
The upgrade is a PITA though - it auto removes the previous version, and that loses you all pinned files from the Windows taskbar.

It's also got a visio-type app that can open actual visio diagrams.

That's not how it works. If one person has an obscure issue with one Microsoft application, then the entire company sucks!!!!!

I'm using Office 2003 on Win 10 at home -- with the ability to read and write the newer formats.

Licenses for the better versions of office only cost a few quid, and you get them almost immediately.

For legal or technical reasons?
Last time I had to go an installation of Office 2007 it activated fine. But I admit that that was a year or two ago now.
If your MSDN key activates (even if your MSDN sub is long gone) then I am pretty sure that MS isn't going to come after you for licence revenue.

Over the years, and computer changes, I now get "too many activations."

New version of VS Code today[^], and what do they post as the first new feature?
