How to install microsoft word

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:

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.

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’re still not able to sign in, contact your administrator.

Product key, purchase, and installing older versions of Microsoft 365:

Not all versions of Microsoft 365 include a key, but if yours did, you need to redeem it before you can install Microsoft 365. Go to office.com/setup and sign in with an existing Microsoft account or create a new one, then enter your product key. Follow the remaining prompts to finish linking your Microsoft account with this version of Microsoft 365.

No product key or not sure if you need one? See Using product keys with Office.

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.

If you weren’t able to resolve your problem, try contacting Microsoft support.

    You’ll need to either download the MS 2010 software (and run the installer) or obtain it via a CD disk (place in the disk drive). You’ll need to enter your product key, email and account security details before you can proceed (the product key is on the packaging or should have been provided with your download). The software will then provide prompts for full installation, or follow the installation instructions outlined above in this article.

Once the download is complete, the installation will be performed immediately. Actually, you should do nothing more than wait for the installer to notify you that the process has finished. From that moment on, you will have Microsoft Word on your computer. You can check this by opening the start menu and locating its icon in the list of applications.

As we have already mentioned, this method installs other tools, included in Microsoft Office. Among them, you will find:

  • Excel
  • Publisher
  • Outlook
  • PowerPoint

Besides, if you want to take full advantage of the Microsoft Office Suite, we recommend that you have an OneDrive account. Thanks to it, you will be able to activate some interesting functions, such as autosave. It is also the easiest way to store your documents securely, to have them available on any device, and to share them with other users quickly. Microsoft offers 5 GB of free storage that can be expanded, if necessary, by paying a subscription fee.

Для работы с текстом на ПК есть множество средств. Есть средства для правки маленького объёма, есть текстовые редакторы, работающие быстро, но обделённые функциями. Но для того чтобы редактировать и форматировать текст большого объёма, для использования продвинутых возможностей всё же нужен текстовый процессор — программа с широкими возможностями. Она требует под себя больше ресурсов, больше места на жёстком диске компьютера и оперативной памяти при использовании сложных функций, но позволяет выполнять гораздо больше задач за меньшее время и с меньшими усилиями. Microsoft Word, конечно, не единственный в мире представитель такого рода программ, но он самый популярный и продуманный, так что его установка, как правило, первое, чем занимается пользователь после установки Windows.

Значок Microsoft Word

Он входит в поставку специального пакета программ Office; кроме него, там есть Excel, Power Point и другие, не менее известные. Перед тем как установить Word, вы должны подумать, не нужны ли вам ещё и они, так как для полноценной офисной работы обычно нужен весь пакет. И работа с таблицами, и составление презентаций, даже специальный служебный софт типа Microsoft Image Viewer часто используется в работе, так что имеет смысл выбрать и их. В любом случае потребуется специальная утилита-установщик.

Процесс установки

Скачайте или откройте с диска установщик Microsoft Office нужной вам версии. Чтобы запустить его, нажмите два раза мышкой по иконке Setup.exe. Откроется рабочее окно установщика, где и мы и будем выполнять требуемые операции. Первое, что от вас потребуется, это ввести лицензионный ключ. Это комбинация из 25 символов. Найти её можно на коробке с диском, если вы приобрели Office в таком виде, или у себя в почте, если покупали онлайн. Мы ни в коем случае не одобряем пиратства, так что ищите эту информацию на сайте, с которого скачивали копию программы. После ввода ключа нажмите на «Продолжить». Установщик, проверив введённые вами символы, если они неверны, вернёт вас в предыдущее окно или откроет следующее в случае верного ввода. Там у вас будет возможность установки по умолчанию или настройки состава пакета.

В принципе Ворд входит в стандартную поставку, так что можете смело выбирать первый вариант. В этом случае после завершения процесса у вас будет установлен «джентльменский набор», в который входят Outlook, Excel, Access, Power Point и Word. Эта поставка отлично подходит для того, чтобы выполнять повседневные задачи.

Установка Microsoft Office

Установка Microsoft Office

Но её недостаточно для более продвинутой работы. Дело в том, что компания Microsoft разработала модульную структуру для пакета Office, чтобы каждый пользователь мог выбрать оптимальный для себя состав установки. Ведь кто-то нуждается в том или ином компоненте, а кто-то нет. Поэтому бессмысленно инсталлировать их все по умолчанию, раз большая часть людей не будет ими пользоваться. Логично, что установщик даёт возможность выбора таких компонентов.

Так как продвинутые возможности обработки и редактирования текста подпадают под это определение, их нужно включать отдельно в том окне программы инсталляции, о котором мы говорили выше. Нажмите «Настроить» и в дереве модулей выберите те, которые считаете нужными. Собственно, вы можете выбрать их и для других программ. После нажмите «Далее» и ожидайте завершения процесса. Как только окно закроется, вы сможете запускать Word из главного меню Windows.

Удаление

Некоторые эксперименты с настройками Word приводят к тому, что он больше не запускается. Поможет его переустановка, она приведёт их к первоначальному виду. Возможно, впрочем, что вы просто не хотите держать установленной программу, которой не пользуетесь в данный момент. В любом случае для удаления Microsoft Word со своего компьютера зайдите в Панель управления, нажав на соответствующую иконку в меню Пуск, найдите в поиске пункт «Установка и удаление программ». Откроется окно с перечнем установленных приложений. Вам нужно найти здесь Office и выделить его левой кнопкой мыши. В правой части выделения появится кнопка «Установка», по нажатию на которую вы откроете окно программы. В нём нужно выбрать компонент, который вы хотите удалить, в нашем случае Microsoft Word, и выбрать соответствующий пункт. Запустится процесс, по завершении которого программа будет удалена с вашего ПК. Есть и другой способ. Дело в том, что в зависимости от метода установки Ворда он может быть указан в этом списке как отдельное приложение, так что можно искать соответствующую строчку в перечне. Когда найдёте, выделите левым кликом мыши и щёлкните «Удалить». Результат будет точно таким же: полное удаление.

Для переустановки вам требуется выполнить два этапа, и оба из них мы уже описали. Снова запускайте инсталлятор с диска или из каталога, выбирайте Ворд как отдельный модуль и ожидайте завершения процесса. После этого программа будет установлена как новое приложение, то есть все настройки «скинутся» на первоначальные, и нужно будет снова указывать в меню программы нужные вам значения параметров. Обратите внимание, если вы хотите сохранить, например, написанные вами макросы, то стоит скопировать их текст куда-нибудь, чтобы не создавать снова.

Заключение

Microsoft Word является одной из самых популярных программ под Windows и уж точно самым популярным в мире текстовым процессором. Он обладает широкими возможностями по работе с документами, и для многих именно он стал постоянным рабочим инструментом. Кроме того, компания не перестаёт разрабатывать и внедрять в него новые функции, так что с каждым обновлением он обзаводится новыми и новыми возможностями, которые делают жизнь пользователей удобнее и комфортнее. Установщик этой программы даёт возможность выбрать как стандартный, так и «кастомный» набор модулей, а удаление программы также не вызывает сложностей. Соответственно, даже серьёзная ошибка в настройках, приведшая к неработоспособности программы, может быть легко устранена переустановкой.
