System information

In the Type of Installation screen, shown in Figure A.5, indicate which type of instal-
lation to use. In these days of massive hard drives, I strongly recommend selecting
the Complete installation. Minimal installation provides reduced functionality,
and many features aren’t installed in a Minimal installation. Typical installation
provides most features and options, but some things aren’t installed and some
things are installed as First Use, which requires that you have your CD handy when
you use that feature for the first time. This type of installation can be a problem,
especially if you are installing Office on a laptop computer and don’t have the CD
with you when you first want to use a specific feature that was installed as First Use.
If you want to install Office to a different path than the default path,
C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office
, you can select where to install it by clicking Browse and
navigating to the desired installation path. I recommend using the default path
because some applications expect to see that path to the Office installation.
You can always install additional features later if you select an installation type
other than Complete; you will learn how to install additional features in “Adding
and Removing Features” at the end of this appendix. After selecting your installa-
tion type, click Next to proceed with the installation.

The Summary screen, shown in Figure A.6, shows which Office applications will be
installed and how they are installed. If you selected a Complete installation, all the
available applications will be installed as Run from My Computer. The applications
you see listed may be different from those shown in this illustration, depending on
which Office package you own. Click Install to proceed with the installation.
