In this tutorial, we will teach you how to install word on mac. We will teach you how to perform a custom installation such that only Ms Word is installed on our machine.

Step 1 -- Download Ms Office

Follow this step by step guide to learn how to install word on mac.

In order to buy and download Ms Word for Mac, open up the browser and go to microsoft.com/mac/buy.
As a result, the office for Mac page will open. From there, select the bundle that you want to install on your Mac before you click on the buy button.
This will redirect you to the shopping cart page from where you can purchase and download Ms Office.

Step 2 -- Run the setup file

Once the installation file has been downloaded, run the setup file.
As a result, the office installer window will appear. Click on the Continue button in the welcome screen to proceed further.

Step 3 -- Agree to the license

Next, you would be required to agree to the license agreement before you can move on with the process.

Step 4 -- Custom Installation

Next, the "Installation type" window will be displayed. Since MS office components are not made available individually, the only way to install word is to customize the installation here. So let's expand the Microsoft Office option and uncheck all of the applications except for Microsoft Word.
This way, only MS word would be installed on Mac. Now go to the bottom and click on the "Install" button to begin with the installation.

Step 5 -- Enter password

With that done, the authentication window will open and you will be prompted to enter the password before you can continue with the installation process.

Step 6 -- Open Ms Word

Once the installation has been completed, go to the dock and you would notice the Ms Word icon is available there.
This indicates that Ms Word for Mac has been successfully installed. Simply click on the icon to open up the application and that's it.
