Before you begin, make sure your PC or Mac meets the system requirements.
If you are reinstalling Microsoft 365, you have already redeemed a product key, or you are installing Microsoft 365 at work or school and know you have a license, then go to the section sign in to download and install Office.
However, if this is the first time you’re installing Microsoft 365, you may have some pre-installation steps to do first. Expand the Learn more section below for more info.
If this is the first time you’re installing Microsoft 365, you may have to complete a set of pre-installation steps first or you may need to follow different steps than what’s contained below. What you do depends if your copy of Microsoft 365 is an Office for home or an Office for business product and whether or not you have a product key you have to redeem, an existing account associated with Microsoft 365, or a pre-assigned license.
Microsoft 365 for home
If you have an Office for home product and it came with a product key*, before installing for the first time (or sharing it if you have Microsoft 365 Family), you need to redeem your product key first.
Go to office.com/setup and sign in with an existing or new Microsoft account and then enter your product key to redeem it*. Redeeming your key is what adds your Microsoft account to Microsoft 365 and you only have to do this once. If you’re renewing a Microsoft 365 subscription with a new product key, use the same Microsoft account you previously associated with your expired version subscription.
Tip: Once this is done, anytime you need to install or reinstall Microsoft 365 you can go straight to the next section, Sign in to download Office and select the tab for help to install on a PC or Mac. Be sure to sign in with the same Microsoft account you used to redeem your product key at office.com/setup.
Microsoft 365 for business
If your Office for business subscription plan includes the desktop version of the Microsoft 365 apps you won’t see an option to install it unless someone in your organization assigned a license to you.
Learn how to check this in What Microsoft 365 business product or license do I have? or if you’re a Microsoft 365 admin responsible for assigning licenses to people in your organization, see Assign licenses to users.
Once you verify you have a license, anytime you need to install or reinstall Microsoft 365 you can go straight to the section below, Sign in to download Office and select the tab for steps to install on a PC or Mac. You’ll sign in with your work or school account for these versions of Microsoft 365.
*If you don’t have a product key or an account
Some versions of Microsoft 365 such as Office Professional Plus 2021, Office Standard 2021, or a stand-alone app such as Word 2021 or Project 2021 don’t have an associated Microsoft account, or work or school account.
The steps to install these versions can be different depending if you got Microsoft 365 through one of the following ways:
Volume license versions:
IT departments might use a different method when installing Microsoft 365 for people in their organization. Talk to your IT department for install help.

Sign in or installation FAQ
The following are a few of the more common questions or issues when trying to install Microsoft 365.
Account questions:
Before you can install Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 you need to associate it with a Microsoft account, or work or school account.
If you have an Office for home product and bought Microsoft 365 at a retail store or online store, but don’t have a Microsoft account, it’s possible you haven’t redeemed your product key yet (if you got one), or you missed the step for linking your recent purchase with an account. Do the following to link an account with Microsoft 365.
For an Office for home product, go to office.com/setup and create a new Microsoft account or sign in with an existing one, then follow the remaining steps on that page such as entering your product key (if you have one). Your account is successfully associated with Microsoft 365 when you see the page, My Office Account followed by your Microsoft account email address, and a button to install Microsoft 365. Select the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.
If the Microsoft account or work or school account isn’t working, see I forgot the username or password for the account I use with Office.
After signing in with your work or school account you don’t see an option to install the desktop applications on the Microsoft 365 home page, go directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Step 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.
Notes:
-
If your organization uses Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.partner.microsoftonline.cn/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.
-
If your organization uses Microsoft 365 Germany, sign in to the Microsoft 365 Software page at https://portal.office.de/OLS/MySoftware.aspx.
If you still don’t see an option to install Microsoft 365 on the Microsoft 365 Software page, it’s possible your admin hasn’t assigned a license to you. Find out if you have a license to install Office.
If you’re a student or teacher and your institution didn’t give you a license, find out if you’re eligible to Get Microsoft 365 for free.
If you’re trying to sign in with your work or school account to www.office.com and your sign in is blocked, it likely means your Microsoft 365 administrator set up a security policy that’s preventing you from signing in to that location.
To install Microsoft 365, try signing in directly to the Microsoft 365 Software page instead. Select the language and bit-version you want (PC users can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit), and then click Install. See Steps 2 and 3 on the PC or Mac tabs above to help you with the rest of the install process.

Install questions or errors during install
For Microsoft 365 subscriptions only: You can install Microsoft 365 on all your devices and be signed in to five at the same time. To learn more, see How sign in works in Microsoft 365.
If you have Microsoft 365 Family, you can also share your Microsoft 365 Family subscription with up to five family members or other people. Each person can install Microsoft 365 on all their devices and be signed in to five at the same time.
For a one-time purchase of Microsoft 365 such as Office Home & Student, Office Home & Business, or Office Professional: You can install these non-subscription versions of Microsoft 365 on only one computer. However, you may transfer Microsoft 365 to another computer that belongs to you if you experience a hardware failure, or you buy a new computer. For more information, see the Microsoft License Terms.
If you bought a stand-alone version of an Microsoft 365 app, for example Visio or Word, in most cases you install this app in the same way you install the Microsoft 365 suite, by signing in to www.office.com with your Microsoft account, or work or school account and selecting Install for your stand-alone product.
If you have a subscription to Project Online Professional, Project Online Premium, or Visio Pro for Microsoft 365, see Install Project, or Install Visio for the steps to install the apps that are part of those subscriptions.
If Microsoft 365 seems to be taking a very long time to install, this may be caused by problems with your internet connection, firewall, or anti-virus software. For possible solutions, see Office is taking long to install.
Microsoft 365 can also take long to install because of a slow internet connection (such as a dial-up connection). If you don’t have a good connection, install Microsoft 365 using the Use the Office offline installer.
Microsoft 365
won’t install: Your computer must be running a supported operating system to install Microsoft 365. You can find a list of which systems are supported on the system requirements page. For example, your install won’t be successful if you’re trying to install Microsoft 365 on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system. If your computer can’t install the full desktop version of Microsoft 365, try the free Office Online apps using your desktop browser.
I received an error message: If you got an error message while trying to install Microsoft 365 and it has a Learn More link, select it to get information for how to troubleshoot that particular error. If there wasn’t a link, see Troubleshoot installing Office.
I received an unsupported operating system message: If you got an unsupported operating system error message you may be trying to install Microsoft 365 on an unsupported device such as installing the Mac version of Microsoft 365 on a PC or vice versa, or trying to install Microsoft 365 on a Chromebook or other mobile device. See Unsupported operating system error when installing Office or Set up Office apps and email on a mobile device.
Help with specific applications, and help for Microsoft 365 admins:
If Microsoft 365 is installed, but you need help with Microsoft 365 basics, or learn how to do a specific task such as print a document, set up an account in Outlook, or use VLOOKUP in Excel, go to the top of this page and select Apps or Learn Office.
You can also type what you’re looking for using the search bar in the upper-right corner.

Microsoft Word для Windows
Текстовый редактор, входящий в состав программ Office, является лучшим в своем роде. История этой программы началась в 1983-м году, тогда она была простым редактором, который позволял выполнять несложное форматирование документов делового предназначения.
Office 2016 презентовали в 2015-м году. Тогда разработчики из Microsoft заявили, что новый пакет программ был создан «с ноля». Между тем привычный интерфейс, набор старых инструментов и другие возможности — это все осталось на своих местах. Office 2019 стал продолжением 2016-го, но в нем появился ряд незначительных нововведений.
На протяжении многих лет программа развивалась, и сегодня это мощный инструмент, с помощью которого можно создавать документы любой сложности.
История версий
| Word | Особенности |
|---|---|
| 2007 | Новый ленточный интерфейс с удобным доступом к основным функциям, формат docx, обеспечивающий высокий уровень защиты и сжатия данных |
| 2010 | Встроенный переводчик и функция командной работы |
| 2013 | Новый «плиточный» интерфейс, инструменты для работы с электронными документами PDF, возможность встраивать в документы онлайн-видео |
| 2016 | Появился «Помощник», рукописный ввод с сенсорного экрана, функция захвата видео |
| 2019 | Функция озвучивания текста, новые инструменты для работы с сенсорными экранами, возможность вставлять векторные изображения |
Функции и возможности
Word обладает огромным множеством инструментов для работы с бумагами. Сегодня ни один аналог не может предоставить такое количество возможностей, как решение от Microsoft. При этом многие функции выходят далеко за пределы оформления документов.
Форматирование текста
В текстовом редакторе Word есть все необходимые инструменты для работы с текстом. Пользователь имеет возможность использовать неограниченное количество шрифтов, выполнять сложное форматирование текста, оформлять документы в виде колонок, работать со списками, добавлять примечания и так далее. Инструменты редактора позволяют тонко настраивать внешний вид каждого отдельного абзаца, выставляя интервалы и отступы с точностью до пикселя.
Работа с таблицами
Добавлять таблицы можно классическим способом, выбирая в соответствующей панели количество строк или столбцов, или методом рисования. Программа позволяет с точностью до пикселя устанавливать высоту и ширину ячеек, заливать их определенным цветом, назначать выравнивание текста внутри, делать поля в ячейках. Встроенные инструменты обеспечивают возможность делить таблицу на несколько отдельных, быстро удалить или добавить строки и столбцы.
Диаграммы и графики
Несмотря на то, что это текстовый редактор, здесь также присутствует мощный инструмент для создания диаграмм. В последней версии насчитывается семнадцать типов диаграмм. Это могут быть простые графики, точечные диаграммы, «солнечные лучи», биржевые, комбинированные и многие другие.
Работа с изображениями и графикой
В документ «Ворд» можно вставить любое растровое изображение. При этом непосредственно в программе легко настроить резкость, контраст, цветовую насыщенность картинки. Также изображение можно кадрировать, сделать обтекание текстом, установить положение по центру, по правому или левому краю. В новых версиях Word появилась возможность вставлять векторную графику и 3D-объекты. При этом можно вставлять как уже существующие картинки, так и рисовать их самостоятельно непосредственно в редакторе.
Формулы и уравнения
В Word присутствует мощный редактор формул и уравнений. При этом в последних версиях предусмотрена возможность писать формулы и уравнения вручную, используя сенсорный ввод. Редактор понимает все математические символы, при написании можно использовать дроби, индексы, корни, радиалы и много другое. Еще в версии Word 2007 появилась поддержка LaTeX, но с ограниченным функционалом. И только в Word 2016 стало возможно полноценно работать с этой системой верстки.
Рисунки SmartArt
SmartArt — это набор инструментов, с помощью которого можно превратить обычный документ в стильную презентацию. В последних версиях программы функционал позволяет создавать сложные логические схемы, наглядно предоставлять информацию в виде графиков, в удобном формате показывать цели, процессы, идеи. Также в наборе присутствует множество инструментов для оформления текста. Работать с SmartArt можно, используя уже готовые шаблоны, что в разы упрощает задачу.
Преимущества и недостатки
Несмотря на обилие аналогичных программ, Microsoft Word остается лучшим редактором в своем роде. К другим преимуществам следует отнести:
Преимущества
- Удобный и понятный интерфейс;
- Обилие обучающей информации в Сети;
- Огромное количество инструментов;
- Поддержка от Microsoft;
- Работает с большим количеством форматов;
- Множество готовых тем и шаблонов.
Главный недостаток программы в том, что лицензия на последнюю версию существенно подорожала. К другим недостаткам стоит отнести:
Недостатки
- Неоптимизированный исходный код документов;
- Многие функции недоступны без подключения к интернету.
