I have Office Professional Plus 2016 and for a few weeks now I have been unable to insert page numbers into Word. When I click on "insert/Page Number/Bottom" all that appears is "Other Office.com page numbers".

    Try running an Office Repair:

    I usually choose the Online Repair option, it's more thorough.

    I do not believe repair will help with this. (I could be wrong; it would not be the first time.)

    This is a corrupted building blocks file.

    See my page: Page Numbers not showing up.

    https://www.addbalance.com/word/pagenumber10.htm#Solution

    It give directions for replacing your built-in building blocks file.
