00:01hi everyone i wanted to set up microsoft office on my mac and i wanted to share it with you
00:07remember that i have the membership enabled for my channel please if you don't mind become a
00:13member microsoft office may be useful in the cases like writing a thesis and stuff you would know
00:25whether the file is compatible or not and it may be more encouraged to try stuff that is open source
00:33like libreoffice there is this github page that has a bunch of downloadable installation files
00:44for different versions of microsoft office and if you want a more old one like 2008 you can go
00:54to this page i'll put both in the description i believe this is similar to 2007 for windows
01:04which is one of my favorite versions my favorite one is 2003 however i am not sure whether it would
01:13work with the workarounds that you find here or not so i simply downloaded 2011 if i show you
01:22its download it would repeat the download again so simply press this download button and it would
01:30download the version for you whichever you chose for me i don't need to download it again i need to
01:36simply go to my finder to the downloads folder and then double click this uh file that i just downloaded
01:44for you make sure you download the file first it should be in .dmg extension double click it with the
01:53left mouse button
01:58and then this one double click it with the left mouse button as well
02:16here click continue continue continue again agree install and here the password of your user
02:31enter and then enter here press close or click it
02:38you have the option to move it to trash or keep it i'll keep it close this one later you
