Post by: shouvik on September 02, 2005, 07:23:57 AM

if i want to install only ms word from ms office , how to do that?

I have ms office cd and also tried to select only ms word from there through "custom installation" , but all the tools of ms office (eg excel, power point etc) along with word, get loaded.

Simply selecting Microsoft Word should work. Untag the others. This has always worked for me.

Hi Raptor

I have office 2000 copied to a cd and when i try to install it through custom installation it shows all components

But i can not select any one of those like ms word. Even selecting one installs the whole ms office. What's thre problem?

Unfortunately, it is not yet that simple.

Take the following steps:

1. Press PRNT SCRN on your keyboard
2. Paste the screenshot into an image editing program
3. Save as .JPEG
4. Upload to a website
5. Use (http:// link of photop )

Are you sure it's not just installing the entry for the other programs and not the complete programs.
After installation have you tried to open the programs you deselected?
It will then probably ask you to insert the disk to install them.

When you get to the screen with the grey boxes, choose the ones you don't want and select
'Not Available'.

Now I'm off to clean up your mess from my computer.  ;)
....
All done  :)

You need to click on the grey disk icons and select the disk with the red cross or the yellow key, not sure. The meaning should be written next to them.

What you are doing now is installing all the programs, but with minimal features if you untag everything that is underneath the main programs.
