Microsoft Word is the most popular text editor to date. The program gained such popularity due to its convenient interface, ease of use and constant support of software (software) by developers. However, the average user may not know how to install Word. This article is intended to describe in detail the installation process and explain all sorts of nuances that arise during this operation. Three installation options will be discussed below.
By the way, in the article we will talk about how to install Word 2007 version, however, the instruction applies to all other versions of the program.
Install licensed software
First of all, we’ll figure out how to install the “Word” of the licensed version, since it is such a version that you are advised to install on your computer. This will not only protect you from malicious software that may be spread by cybercriminals by means of changing the application code, but also exclude the possibility of “breaking” the program, since Windows constantly analyzes programs, and if it notices non-licensed ones, it blocks them. Among other things, piracy is an illegal act and is prosecuted by law.
Now we pass directly to the question of how to install Word on your computer.
If you purchased a licensed program disk in stores, then the first thing you need to do is insert it into the drive and run the installer. By the way, after the system detects a disk, it itself will offer you to perform this action. If you bought an office suite from an Internet distributor, then you need to download it and run the installer. You can find it in the folder where the file was downloaded.
After starting the installer, a window appears in which you must specify the serial number of the product to activate the license. You can find the number on the disc packaging or the distributor will provide it to you. After entering the serial, click the "Next" button.
In the next step of installing Word, you will need to select the folder where all the program files will be placed. By default, the folder on drive "C" in the Program File directory is specified, but you can change this path to any other. After choosing a place, click the "Start Installation" button.
In the same window there is another button "Settings", but we will talk about this at the end of the article.
Install pirated software
You already know how to install the Microsoft Word licensed version, so it's time to talk about the pirated program. The only plus of such software is that you do not need to pay for it, but the minuses were listed at the beginning of the previous subtitle.
To install Word for free, you will initially need to download the installer from the Internet, most often these files are called RePack. It is most convenient to download via torrent, as this will provide maximum download speed and prevent its interruption.
After you have downloaded the RePack program from Microsoft, you need to open the folder with it and run the installer. The further steps of installing the program are the same as with the licensed version, the only difference is that you do not have to enter the serial number. It is either already sewn into the installer, or the installer at the end will automatically crack the program. Otherwise, you downloaded a bad RePack, which will install a program for you that will not be possible to run.
Installation on smartphones
We have already figured out how to install Word for free and how to install a licensed program, but it was all about computers. Now let's talk about smartphones, as there is a special version of the program for them.
First of all, to install Word on your smartphone, you need to enter the application store. On Android, it is called the Play Store, and on iOS it is called the AppStore. Once you have entered the store, write down the name of the program in the search, and select the appropriate option in the results - you will be transferred to a page where you can start downloading and installing the program. All that remains for you is to click the "Install" button. After that, the application will download and automatically install on your smartphone, and the corresponding shortcut will appear on the desktop.
Advanced installer setup
Now let's talk about the advanced setup of the installation program. Recall that the instruction is given on the example of Word 2007, you can install any version of the program in the same way, but there may be differences in some elements of the interface.
So, by clicking on the "Advanced Settings" button during the installation process, you will be taken to a special window where you can set the configuration you need. In fact, you are given the opportunity to filter out unnecessary programs from the office, which are always supplied with one package. To do this, click on the component drop-down list and select "Component unavailable." You can also select other options from the list. After choosing to install all applications, click the "Install" button.

The second - the installation of pirated Po and licensed almost no different. Third - on smartphones, installation is much easier. Now you know how to install Word on your PC or smartphone.
