This has been a huge PITA for me since I often need Word and Excel on a computer that's restricted from accessing the internet.

- taspeotis 9y agoThis is a bit kafka-esque: > You need to be connected to the internet to download this installer file, but once that's done, you can then install Office offline on a PC at your convenience. > ... > After your Office installation is complete, you need to activate Office. Be sure you're connected to the Internet and then open any Office application, such as Word or Excel. I mean the lede is "problems with slow speed or unreliable connections" but at the same time ... offline is offline.
