Office 2019 Office 2016 Office 2016 for Mac Office 2013 More…Less

If this is the first time you’re installing Microsoft 365 you may have some setup steps to do first. Expand the learn more section below.

However, if you’re reinstalling Microsoft 365, and you’ve already redeemed a product key and have an account associated with Microsoft 365, then go to the section sign in to download Office.

Install Microsoft 365 for the first time

Some Office 2019, Office 2016, and Office 2013 products come with a product key. If yours did, before installing Microsoft 365 for the first time, sign in with an existing or new Microsoft account and enter your product key at office.com/setup. Redeeming your key is what links your account with Microsoft 365 so you only have to do this once. Already did this? Select the tab below for the version you’re trying to install.

Reinstall Microsoft 365

If Microsoft 365 originally came pre-installed and you need to reinstall on it on the same device or a new device, you should already have a Microsoft account associated with your copy of Microsoft 365. This is the account you’ll use to install Microsoft 365 following the steps below. If you need to uninstall Microsoft 365 first, see Uninstall Office from a PC or Uninstall Office for Mac.

Note: The steps to install the 2019, 2016, or 2013 versions of Office Professional Plus, Office Standard, or a stand-alone app such as Word or Project might be different if you got Microsoft 365 through one of the following:

Microsoft Workplace Discount Program (formerly known as Home Use Program): If you bought Microsoft 365 for personal use through your company, see Install Office through Workplace Discount Program.
Volume license versions: If you work in an organization that manages your installations, you might need to talk to your IT department. Some organizations have different methods to install Microsoft 365 on multiple devices.
Third-party seller: You bought Microsoft 365 from a third-party and you’re having problems with the product key.

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.

Интерфейс Word

Интерфейс Word

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.

Форматирование текста

Форматирование текста

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.

Работа с таблицами

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.

Диаграммы и графики

Диаграммы и графики

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.

Формулы и уравнения

Формулы и уравнения

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.
