There are several options to installing Microsoft Office on MAE.
If using the Microsoft CD
-------------------------
Mount the CD-ROM within MAE, launch the Microsoft Setup program, and proceed with the installation. When it asks for a destination directory for the install, locate a directory that has sufficient disk space and which the user has write-access to; then create a new folder called Microsoft Office to be the destination folder. Following the installation, if you choose to move the Microsoft Office package to a new location, do so keeping in mind the permissions of the folder.
Create a Net Install from another Macintosh
-------------------------------------------
Using AppleShare with MAE 2.0, you can mount the folder and begin the install. Locate a directory with sufficient space and where the user has write-access, and create a new folder called Microsoft Office that will be the destination folder.
If you are running MAE 1.0
--------------------------
If you are running MAE 1.0, or you are not sure of the amount of disk space, and it is not possible to install with the CD or floppy; use Fetch on a Macintosh to copy the programs to your workstation.
NOTE: After you install Microsoft Office and if you installed it into your HOME directory, be sure to remove the Microsoft Office control panel from the MAE System Folder. The Microsoft Office control panel is not compatible with MAE.
