Part I: Introduction to the Microsoft Office 2011 Suite
you don’t install these languages, you don’t save a ton of disk space, but why
install them if you’re never going to use them?
Now click the Install button to open an authentication window so that you
can provide an administrator name and password. Do so and then click OK.
Go get yourself some coffee or a soft drink — you have a bit of time.
When the installation is complete, the screen informs you that the instal-
lation was successful and the software was installed. D’oh. Click the Close
button and the Office Setup Assistant launches itself.
Setting Up with Setup Assistant
The Welcome to Office for Mac 2011 screen appears with the following three
options:
✓ Enter Your Product Key: Click this option and then type your product
key, which you can find in the box with your installation disc. When
you’re done, click the Continue button to see a screen acknowledg-
ing that your copy has been activated. Your product ID number also
appears on this screen with the suggestion that you store it with your
records because you’ll need it in order to register or obtain technical
support.
If you forget the product ID number or fail to write it down and “keep
it with your records,” you can find it in the About dialog box for Excel,
PowerPoint, or Word.
✓ Try Free for 30 Days: If you have a demo version of Office for Mac 2011,
click this option to use the software without a product key for as long as
30 days.
✓ Purchase a Product Key Online: Click this option and follow the
onscreen instructions to purchase a product key on the Web.
At this point, you may or may not see a screen congratulating you or encour-
aging you to enjoy the demo, or telling you something entirely different. Click
Continue.
A screen offers to either use your existing settings (from an earlier version
of Office for Mac) or create new settings. Click an option and then click
Continue.
Next is the Keep Office Up to Date screen, which offers two simple yes-or-
no options: Keep Office for Mac Up to Date and Join the Customer Experience
Improvement Program. Respond to both and then click Continue.
