I just bought an iPad Pro. I have a Microsoft office 365 license for my PC and was planning to use it to install the Office apps on the iPad Pro. But do I need to install the entire the office 365 apps? Can I just install the Word app or the Excel app?
As of last week Microsoft has made their Microsoft Office application available on the App Store which combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into 1 single application. I personally do not see the appeal of this however other seem to really like it.

Is it better to install each Office app individually? I really only need Word and Excel.
Or is that the only option on the App Store - as opposed to installing the entire office suite?
Will it help the functionality of the Office apps if I have an existing office 365 license?
Hello,
Microsoft offers Office in 2 ways, the first is all bundled within 1 application, the other is each application individually. If you only need Word and Excel then you only have to install Word and Excel.
When it comes to MS Office mobile apps, there is no single suite install. You have to install each app you wish to use individually from the Apple App Store.
With an iPad Pro, MS requires a paid Office 365 subscription for full App functionality. You will sign in with each app to your MS ID and password to allow full use of each app - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive, Lens...
Thanks, I did not know MS had done that.
But that is only Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while an Office 365 subscription allows access to a lot more apps, including mobile versions of those apps. So it really only installs the “basic” MS Office, but not OneDrive, OneNote, Skype, TEAMs, etc.
I know for work I need TEAMs, OneNote, OneDrive, SharePoint, Planner, etc - so I agree, the single install option is somewhat pointless since I’d still have to go back and add all the others and then bundle them into a single folder for convenience.
Hello,
You can download Microsoft's Microsoft Office applications from iPad's App Store.
If I have an office 365 license already, is it better to install from the Microsoft website and the full office suite, or install each app individually from the App Store?
You have to install from the iOS App Store, not the MS website.
Hello,
You cannot install Microsoft Office from Microsoft's website. You must install Microsoft Office from iPad's App Store.
