NOTE: You can check if your version of Windows is 32 or 64 bit by pressing +PAUSE/BREAK. It will be listed under System, next to System Type. On Macs, you will need to determine your machine’s Processor Name with the following steps: 1. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu in the upper-left menu bar, then click More Info 2. Open the Hardware section 3. Locate the Processor Name (Intel Core 2 Duo and above will be 64 bit).

By default, Microsoft Office installs the 32-bit version of Office even if your computer is running 64-bit editions of Windows. The 32-bit version of Office is the recommended option for most people, because it prevents potential compatibility issues with other 32-bit applications, specifically third-party add-ins that are available only for 32-bit operating systems.
