I finally found something that worked for me (On PC) without having to revert to an earlier save.

Before anything else, it is worth noting that the most common cause for this problem seems to be mods, so you should uninstall any mods before attempting to fix them problem. After doing so, this is usually where you'd be advised to reload an earlier save from before you reached the (now bugged) word wall. If like me your first attempt to fix the problem was to save and reload (And/or leaving the cell in question), you might find yourself losing a fair amount of progress depending on how many saves you keep/how regularly you save.

This is where I was able to fix things a different way, as detailed below.

Step 1) Open the console, select the bugged word wall and disable it (Type "Disable" [Without quotation marks]). If the correct part of the wall is selected, the words will disappear but not the stone wall itself.

Step 2) Close the console WITHOUT DESELECTING THE (now disabled) WORD WALL.

Step 3) Leave the cell containing the wall.

Step 4) While in a different cell, open up the console again and reenabled the wall (Type "Enable").

After doing the above, I found that upon returning to the cell with the word wall, the words glowed correctly and I was then able to learn the Word of Power. I hope this works for anyone else faced with this problem.
