Hey you and welcome! I'm Mr. Berry in this whole video i'm going to show you how to install
Microsoft office that would include Microsoft word excel and even power point right into your
google counselors you can use it right on your Chromebook and i'm going to be showing you two
different methods right on my Chromebook there are some things that you do need though one of
them is you have to have your Google account be able to log into that on your Chromebook
and you also need a free Microsoft account now if you don't have that all you got to do is go
to microsoft.com and actually go ahead and click on login (Sign In) and then create a free account there. Like
I said, it's absolutely FREE and once you have that you'll be able to actually log into the
Microsoft office apps and use those right on your Chromebook so let's get started with the lesson!
now for this lesson I'm going to be using my Acer Chromebook any newer Chromebook will do,
as long as you have access to the Chrome web store or to the play store so go ahead and open
up your Chromebook and then log into your google account hey here I am in the Chromebook now the
very first thing that you want to do once you get the desktop as you see here is go ahead and
click on the App Launcher which is the round icon found in the lower left hand corner of your screen
and once you do that it reveals some apps there if you click on the little carrot it reveals even
more apps or you can do a search we're looking for the web store so we're going to click on
the web store as i have done already and it opens up into the web store there in the
corner there you notice it has a search box key in the word office and once you hit the enter
key will show the results now the very first one that you see there is office and it says office
by Microsoft go ahead and click it and right above me there's a blue button that says add to chrome
go ahead and click that and then they'll ask you do you want to add this extension or not go ahead
yes you need to add the extension and it will be downloading installing it there boom now you have
Microsoft office and this will open up here to this screen what we're going to need to do is
we'll need to go back to the chrome web store and so if you look at the very top of my screen
you notice I have tabs second to the last tab there is actually the chrome web store so go
ahead and get back into the chrome web store and we're going to actually install now icons and apps
that we need uh to actually really use this to the full benefit on a Chromebook so go ahead and click
on that and once you're back into the web store you'll notice it'll say something like office
go back there to the results and then we're going to scroll down the list and once you scroll down
the list you notice that you have apps now the one the apps that we need is Microsoft word
so there's word online and on my button there it says you know I already have it because I
tested this a little bit earlier just make sure everything worked very well it did but you click
on that gray buttons add to chrome next we're going to add excel and click on add to chrome
once you clicked on add to chrome click on add app
and then it will be installing that on your Chromebook there should be able to use it and
now you'll be able to find these icons down in your app launcher so let's test this out make sure
everything works here we're going to do is going to click on that app launcher again and notice
recently installed apps will be on the top there but if not you can always click on the
carrot to reveal more let's go ahead and click on Microsoft word there and it opens up into this
now earlier in the video remember I had you log into your Microsoft account well if you had
you'll actually see all of your documents that you've created
inside of your Microsoft account in the past whether it be on a windows machine, a mac ,or a
different Chromebook. Let's go ahead and click on one of those
and make sure everything loads properly here so here we actually see my document
and there's my tools at the top people have asked me hey do you have all the tools and
as you can see there I actually do have my tools the most commonly used tools so that works
next we're going to try excel so i'm clicking on the excel icon there and it opens up
very first thing that you see within excel is all of your past
uh worksheets and there's mine I've worked on in the past and if you notice there's these icons
in the corner if i click on those icons that look like a little box of apps you notice hey
there's others such as powerpoint word excel all those are actually there so here's powerpoint
and you see all the powerpoint presentations that I've created in the past
and what's really nice about this is that everything is saved online within your
Microsoft account for you and as you can see there it's easy to get to other apps
by using that little app launcher there that they have inside of their web-based program
so in this first method I've showed you basically involves getting into the chrome web store
downloading the apps there it is totally free you do not need a subscription to 365 to use it
to edit documents so to save documents or to open up old documents that you've created in the past
and what's really nice about this is let's say something happens to your
Chromebook you can actually log in with another Chromebook log back into your Microsoft account
and there's all your work and before i get into the second method I would like to remind
everyone to please click on the thumbs up icon as that really helps the channel subscribe to my
channel SelmaTeacher7 if you haven't done so already and if you have a question or comment
please leave it down in the comments there and I'll try to get to it as soon as I can.
Now the second method that I'm going to be going over involves getting into the Play
store and doing a search for Microsoft office there we're going to be finding
excel and word and installing those those will be the android versions of those Microsoft apps
and as such the Android versions do require you to have a Microsoft office 365 subscription (To use all features)
So if you're a student or if you're at a business which you are they already
give you a Microsoft 365 subscription hey guess what you just log into your 365 and
everything's great if you do not have a 365 subscription and stick with the first method
because everything there is free alright so let's get into the second method so in this
next method here what we're going to do is click on the play store at the bottom here click it and
it will open up to the play store now we see Microsoft excel already there but we want to
find other Microsoft apps by clicking up into the search box and then typing in Microsoft office
and then hit enter and there it is so we have word excel and we have other Microsoft office
apps all there let's go ahead and click on one so there's Microsoft word and click on install
and then it will be installing right onto your Chromebook remember this is the android version
so it does have the editing tools there however it does require you to have the subscription to
365 in order to actually use all of its features now once it's installed you can go ahead and click
on open you will be able to find it in the app launcher as well so if I click on the App Launcher
it comes up and it reveals more apps click on the carrot and
I'm going to search for a word so I'm going to click in the search box and key in word you notice right away
I have two versions i have the android as well as the chrome version on my Chromebook and what
I'm going to do is I'm going to start the Android version here I'm going to click on go to office
and let it set up again you need to log into your Microsoft account and it's going to configure it
you notice that you do have a choice there to go into the 365 to have
all of the features all the editing features I should say for the android
version and i'm going to click on one of my documents when I old lessons there from 2013
and here it is right away you'll notice that my editing tools are not available
because I don't have 365 so what I'm going to do is i'm going to go back to the chrome
version and open up a document and it opens up right away and you notice right away I
have my editing tools at the top so I'm going to highlight some text here and
just see make sure I'm I am able to edit my document you want to increase the font size
and hey I'm able to increase the font size to edit or create my document there so that's great
again this is the chrome version from the first method mentioned here in the video and what I'm
going to do is I'm just going to check and make sure I do have the ability to save my document
make sure it's not read only so i'm going to click on file and once I click on save as I
do notice I have the choice to save it within my Microsoft account to rename it to download a copy
download PDF or even as an ODT type of file so I do have the ability to save it and edit it and
all that so that's great to know that I can edit my documents there let's try excel now make sure
everything works in there I'm going to open up one of my spreadsheets and what I'm going to try to do
is I'm going to click in within a random cell and just see if I can add information into the cell
here I do notice that my tools are not grayed out so I do have my tools available to me and
so I'm going to key in some random numbers in here and it does allow me to do that next I'm going to
look at my tools at the very top there my banners and you notice i do have all of my banners and all
my tools so that's a good thing there and again this is the chrome version from the first method
if I click on insert you notice I have pivot table as well as function and table and all the others
there so I do have that i have my draw tools layout and all my others so they are all here
and that is very good news so there you go you know that you can edit and
save your documents there using the chrome version so there you have it now you know two
different methods for getting Microsoft office onto your Chromebook or to your google account
now the very first method I showed you is 100% free and everything works great in that the
second method using the Android apps remember that does require you to have a subscription to 365.
