As of March 1 2017, Office 2013 is no longer available for download in the Office 365 portal or at office.microsoft.com. Officially, support for the click-to-run versions also ended, but all that really means is that you won't get much help with it if you call Microsoft Support. Office 2013 will continue to work. (Mainstream support for Office 2013 Professional Plus, Professional, and Standard editions ends 4/10/2018.)
While I recommend installing the latest version, if you need to stick with Office 2013 because:
- You need to connect to Exchange 2007
- Are not using autodiscover and need to manually configure Exchange accounts
- Use Business Contact Manager
- Use other software that does not work with Office 2016
You will be able to download the setup file using a direct link or the Office 2013 Deployment Tool.
Direct Links
Links for the most common SKUs are below, you'll need to create links for other
product versions and languages. (It's easy.)
If Office 2016 is installed, you'll need to uninstall it, reboot, then install Office 2013 using a direct download link.

If you are using other product versions or languages, you will need to create the download links for Office 2013 SKUs. You can look up the respective components using the following references, replacing the product id, language, and platform values (bolded) in the link with the appropriate values.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure what was wrong with them but they work now that I replaced then and hyperlinked them. I have no idea what was wrong - they look identical when i paste them into notepad.
