Upgrade to Mac OS Mojave

I'm trying to upgrade my iMac from High Sierra to Mojave OS through the App Store. Selecting the App Store Mojave OS link displayed a corrupt file error message. Is there another Mojave OS link I may try? I don't want to upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur at this moment due to incompatibility with MS Office 2016.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu, throw the existing installer away, and use the link again. All links to it will go through the App Store.

Thank you! I was finally able to download the Mojave OS after 2 attempts. Per your instructions, deleted the installer. Downloaded the OS-->"damaged file error message displayed" again. Deleted the installer again. Restarted my Mac and was able to download the OS successfully on this 2nd attempt. OS install was successful!
