    Hey, my friend asked me for help today. He needs to install Office package, it probably doesn't matter which version (2019 or 2021 or whatsoever). He would like a "typical" , standard version of especially Word an Excell, for a regular basic use.

    I haven't been into this for many years. Last time I installed it, I used the RTool. Is is still possible to download, install and activate via this simple program?

    Thanks for your help.

    And so RTool available in the original post is still the best option? Should I download it and use this?

    Oops !!
    On the "softtrader" page , they said that Microsoft delete Publisher from Office 2024...
    So looks like it's normal that I can't install it...I must have been confused because the option is offered in the program !!
    My bad !!

    It's a generic option
    I can remove it ..
    There is another example
    You can try install language
    That doesn't support the product
    It could happen

    I am trying to install Office PerpetualVL2024 using the latest version of OfficeRTool (v12.0rF). I am choosing the individual apps (no full suite) option to install Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and OneNote. I am skipping all others.

    However, OneNote doesn't install and OneDrive installs in its place. Can someone confirm?

    EDIT: I have done this a couple of times now after scrubbing Office using this same tool.

    @patapout - You can always restart OfficeRTool if you accidentally select apps you didn't want to install. Usually I only want Word, Excel and Outlook...but deselect PowerPoint, Access and Visio etc..

    I installed Office 2021 LTSC using this tool, several months ago. Thank you!!!

    For some reason, I cannot add a new business email account to Outlook 2021. However, I have a company laptop that came with MS 365 desktop pre-installed. I was able to add that business email account to Outlook on the laptop.

    I realize admin, in the back-end, can limit what devices can login to a corporate MS 365 account. My questions are:

    1. Is there any difference between Office 2021 and MS 365 desktop apps with regard to how they use OAuth to login?
      1. I'm wondering if this is the reason why I cannot add the account to Office 2021.
    2. Can Office 2021 be converted to MS 365, keep all settings and files without performing a fresh install?
      1. If so, do I have to use my corporate email for registration. I'd rather not since Office 2021 is installed on my personal PC.
    All I'm trying to accomplish is adding my corporate email account to Outlook so that I can check all email (private and business) in Outlook. I'm trying to determine if the issue is Office 2021 or if the admin has restricted access.

    Below is what I get in Outlook 2021 when I try to add the account:
