Hi ben_galaxy, welcome to our Community!
As a first thing, in order for us to further troubleshoot the behavior that you mentioned between the Dropbox app and Word: have you tried rebooting your device?
If I were you, I'd definitely access my Dropbox settings in the app itself, and clear the cache from there. An uninstall and re-install would also be ideal, if you could.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hi ben_galaxy, could you let me know the OS of your iPad, along with the Dropbox version that you have installed there?

I am having the same issue. I uninstalled dropbox then updated dropbox, word and my ipad and still having the same trouble. Very frustarating as it's hindering staff production.
