How to Install Microsoft Word on Mac

Are you a student looking to install Microsoft Word on your Mac device? Look no further! This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of installing Office 365 software, including Microsoft Word, on your personal Mac device.

To begin, make sure your Mac is running Apple macOS Sierra 10.13.6 or later and has an active internet connection. If you don't have a reliable internet connection, you won't be able to complete the installation.

Once you've verified your system meets the requirements, follow these steps:

1. Log into UDO (University Digital Office) and click on the Microsoft 365 tile. Alternatively, access the Office portal directly by going to .

2. Click 'Install Office Apps' > 'Office'.

3. You will be redirected to the Office 365 pages. Click 'Download' to start the download process.

4. Once the download is complete, navigate your Mac using Finder to allocate the downloaded file. By default, files downloaded using Safari are saved in Downloads.

5. Double-click on the package to start the installation. A new Finder view will open presenting you with the Installation Wizard.

6. Review the Terms and Conditions. If you disagree with them, click 'Disagree' and exit the Installation Wizard. Otherwise, click 'Agree' to continue.

7. The Activation Wizard will appear. Enter your University email address in the format required (e.g., 'your student ID'@udo.edu).

8. Choose 'Sign in to an existing Office 365 subscription' when prompted.

9. Once you attempt to launch any of the Microsoft Office applications, you will be prompted to activate the software. Follow the prompts to complete the activation process.

10. Once completed, click 'Close' to exit the Installation Wizard.

That's it! Microsoft Office for Mac should now start installing on your device. You can access all the features and tools included in the suite, such as OneDrive, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and more.

Remember, this installation guide has been created using macOS Catalina 10.15. Certain steps and visual elements may vary on older versions of macOS. If you experience any issues with activating Microsoft Office Suite for Mac, contact IT Service Centre at or visit their website for assistance.
