SUMMARY

You can run Microsoft Word for Windows Setup in the background if you want to continue working on your computer during installation.

MORE INFORMATION

If you press CTRL+ESC during the installation, the Task List displays and you can switch to another application such as Excel.

Working in another application slows the installation process somewhat; however, you can continue to work during the installation of Word. Setup runs without any problems in the background.
