HELP CENTER
Enabled downloads lead directly to verified installer files. — Use an enabled Download button for Mac, Windows to retrieve the matching English installer directly from the official publisher. Check the selected product and license before installation. Account, store and guide pages are not offered as downloads.
The account matters more than the file. — Having the app does not itself grant access to your work organization. After installation, sign in with the appropriate personal or work account.
Choose the language through the official installation or app settings. — Choose English in the available installer or application settings. Display and proofing languages can be configured separately. Language settings for an existing licensed installation do not establish that a new installer download is available.
Use the installation path for your actual device and license. — Check the official system requirements, platform, edition and architecture before installation. On Windows, confirm compatibility with existing Office apps and add-ins. Windows installation media cannot be installed on macOS or mobile devices.
Back up your documents and confirm the release’s requirements and support status. — Check Microsoft’s current requirements and lifecycle information for the exact release. A working download link does not establish support or compatibility.
