Professionals who work on Mac computers might think about downloading Word. This program has a lot of tools that make it simple to create and design documents like reports, flyers, or articles. It can be advantageous for you to understand how to download Word onto your Mac if you frequently create documents for work. In this article, we’ll go over why it’s advantageous to download Word for Mac, how to install it, and a few extra Word-related hints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why download Microsoft Word for Mac? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Downloading Microsoft Word for Mac is advantageous because it offers a strong alternative for document creation. Even though Macs do have a built-in word processor, Microsoft Word includes a number of useful capabilities, including embedding objects, showing charts, and spell-checking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Word offers a number of document types that let you generate flyers, resumes, CVs, and blogs. Cloud<\/a> storage is also part of Office 365, which also comes with Word and other Microsoft programs. By doing so, you can collaborate with other users and incorporate third-party apps into Word. All of these helpful features are available when you download Word for Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Download Microsoft Word on Mac <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Mac users, there are six steps to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1. Sign in to your Microsoft account<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to Microsoft.com first in your favorite web browser. Utilize your login credentials to access your Microsoft account. However, you can open an account if you don’t already have one. If you currently have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription and want to download Word onto that account, you can log in with your school or work account. Alternatively, if you haven’t already, you might need to buy Microsoft Word or Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Click “Install Office.”<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the top-right corner of the screen, click “Install Office.” Then the Microsoft installer file is downloaded to your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that you can also choose the “Services and Subscriptions” option at the top of the screen to download either Word 2016 or 2013. Locate Word in the list of choices, then choose it, then click “Install.” The program will then provide you with installation instructions, which you can then follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Select the download installer file.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Microsoft installer file can be found in your “Downloads” folder in the “Finder” window once you download it. The document is called “Microsoft Office Installer.pkg.” The file name may alter if you decide to merely download Word rather than the whole Office Suite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, to open the file on your computer, double-click on it. However, in the event that you see the “unidentified developer” issue, click the file and drag it to your desktop. You can double-click this to open an icon that has been created on your desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Click through the downloading process<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After you double-click on the desktop icon, the installer starts as a menu. The welcome page, which is the initial screen, outlines the processes and offers details on the downloading procedure. Find the “Continue” button in the menu’s bottom right corner after reading this information. To move on to the next page, click on it. When you do this, a window containing Microsoft’s terms opens. After reading this, click “Agree.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Choose to install Microsoft Word<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The “Custom Install” window displays when you accept Microsoft’s agreements. This gives you the option to select how to install Word and other Microsoft software. You can use the “Customize” option if you have a Microsoft 365 membership to only download Microsoft Word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only want to download Word rather than install the whole Microsoft Suite, this is advantageous. Once you’ve done that, look for the “Install” button at the window<\/a>‘s bottom. To start the installation procedure, click here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6. Launch and activate the Word<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can run and activate Word after your Mac has finished installing it. Locate Word on your Launchpad and open it. By clicking on the blue symbol with the “W” on it, you can either search for the software or manually locate it. When you first launch Word, a new window that contains some usage instructions pops up. Choose “Get Started” to launch Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
