Installing MS Office 2007 from a CD/DVD

We will assume that you will be installing Microsoft Office 2007 from the CD/DVD drive. This guide will apply to all versions of Microsoft Office 2007 as there is no noticeable difference when installing different versions of Microsoft Office 2007. The only expected difference is the applications that you can install and this is dependent on the version of Microsoft Office 2007 you have purchased. 













Insert the CD/DVD of Microsoft Office 2007 and in the pop-up window click on Next and then follow the steps mentioned below on Windows Xp or Windows 7:




  1. Enter your Product Key

    Simply enter your 25 Character Product-Key. If you have entered it correctly you should see a bold green tick appear.

    You can now click Continue.


  1. If you entered your 25 Character Product-Key incorrectly then you will see a bold red tick appear. Do not worry, just double check and correct your entry. You should then see a bold green tick appear.

    You can now click Continue.


  1. If you have a specific reason for not entering a product key then all you need to do is click Continue.

    When the Setup Dialog box appears just click Yes and you can then continue the install without a product key.



4.    Read the Microsoft Software License Terms
For you to be able to install Microsoft Office 2007 you will have to read and accept the terms of the agreement.

If you agree with the terms then click the box next to I accept the terms of this agreement and then click Continue.

If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement then you cannot install Microsoft Office 2007.


  1. Now you have to chose either “Install Now” or “Customize
  • Install Now: This is quick and simple installation 
  • Customize: This option lets you choose what you want to install according to your needs.

Lets consider “Install Now” option…

  • Installation Progress
Microsoft Office 2007 will now start to install and this shouldn't take too long.


Microsoft Office 2007 should have been successfully installed.



 
If you want access to free product updates, help and online services then click Go  to Office Online.
Alternatively click Close and you can then start to use Microsoft Office 2007.
For you to be able to use Microsoft Office 2007 you are required to activate your product.





Consider that now we select “ Customize” option
 Click "Customize" to customize your Microsoft Office 2007 installation.





On the Installation Options tab you can see all the applications that are present in the version of Office that you have purchased. By default all Applications are all ready to install.




If you want to prevent a particular application from installing, [for example Microsoft Office Excel] click the little black downwards facing arrow.

Now select X Not Available and this will prevent the application from installing.



Within each application there are separate add-ins and you also have the choice to install these or not. 

To prevent an add-in of an application from installing click the ‘+’ symbol next to the application. You should then be able to view all of the add-ins that are associated with that application.

Next to the add-in click the little black downwards facing arrow.

Now select X Not Available and this will prevent the add-in from installing.

Note: Some Add-ins may have an X Not Available next to them and this cannot be changed. You will find this happens because you do not have other needed software installed on your computer such as the .NET Framework.






Choose a File Location
  • Click the File Location tab.
  •   By default Microsoft Office 2007 will install to the following location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office


If you have a specific need to change the location, then click Browse, choose the new location and then click OK.

Note: If you wish to change the installation path after you have installed Microsoft Office 2007 then you will have to reinstall Microsoft Office 2007 to choose the new location.

Type your information and Click the User Information tab. 

You are not required to enter any information but if you want to then all you need to enter is your Full Name,Initials and your Organization.

If you want to check and make any changes then just go back to the Installation Options, File Location and the User Information tab. If you are happy with any changes you have made then click on the Install Now button which can be found at the bottom on the right on all of the three tabs.
