Angry HELP! All my files are a complete mess!

HELP! All my files in Word 2016 are in a complete mess, I have no idea what to do. I finished a 12 page document, heavily formatted with text boxes and pictures. I hit print, it printed one page, I realized it had been set for 2 sided printing, and I hit cancel. Tried to print again, hit the close button by mistake, clicked on "don't save changes". It closed, when I opened it, the document was spread completely across the screen, 18" wide at 100%. Items from page 1 and page 2 are all mixed up across the screen, the entire document is that way, and worse yet, ALL MY FILES ARE LIKE THIS! When I check the settings, it is set for 81/2 x 11, portrait, view one page. I am using Word 2016, Windows 10.

If I open a new document, it seems to be OK. But I am very reluctant to begin a new 12-page document. Later: I tried making a new document, and it looked fine. I saved it and re-opened it, and it has the same corruption. I connected my backup hard drive, opened a similar document, and it displays the same corruption.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
