A set of programs for working with documents from Microsoft has long been a recognized standard in various fields of activity. And after buying a new computer or reinstalling the operating system, the first thing to do is to install the MS Office package. For some users, this operation is a real problem, although if you figure it out, there is nothing complicated about it.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the software installation disc from the box and insert it into your computer's CD or DVD drive. Double-click the My Computer or Computer icon, and then open the E: drive (this is usually the drive letter). All these actions will need to be performed if the autorun window does not appear on the screen.
Step 2
Select "Run" with the left mouse button from the list of actions suggested by the computer. This will start the MS Office installation process. An installer window will appear on the screen with a greeting and a proposal to start.
Step 3
Click the "Install" button to proceed to the next step of the operation. The program will prompt you for a 25-character product code. This code is usually printed on the back of the disc box. Switch to English and carefully type the MS Office activation code. Pay attention to the similarity of the letter "O" and the character "zero", sometimes this is the reason for the message about the wrong code. Click the Next button to proceed with the installation.
Step 4
Enter your username, initials and organization if you are installing an office suite for work purposes. It is best to use Latin characters, although this is not critical in recent versions of the office. When you enter, click on "Next".
Step 5
Check the box at the bottom of the window, under the license agreement - this will agree with the terms of the license and will be able to click the continue installation button. The following window will open with the options for the software suite: "Normal", "Full", "Custom" and "Minimum".
Step 6
Click the button opposite the "Complete" label so that the program itself determines the maximum set of components. Alternatively, click Custom to install only the applications you want. The advanced option is the simplest, but takes up the most space on your hard drive. The minimal installation will require more attention and effort in the future, so it is not recommended to do it. When you make your choice, click "Next".
Step 7
Uncheck the office suite programs you don't need. Most often, the most popular Word and Excel are installed - for texts and tables. If you do not know what you may need, then choose "Full". Press the button to go to the next step of the operation.
Step 8
A window with a list of components will open. Activate the inscription "Install" and wait for the end of the process. This will take 5 to 25 minutes, depending on the power of the computer. Click the "OK" button to complete the installer.
