How to upgrade from MS Word for Mac to the latest Word version

I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, version 14.7.7 (170905). I only use Word and wish to buy a current version of Word for Mac. Is that possible?

Word 2021 for Mac sold separately is priced by Microsoft at $159USD. You will only be able to install it on macOS Ventura or later.


You can get the entire Office 2021 for Mac Home and Business license and download for around $34USD from Stacksocial. That is where I purchased my Office 2021 for Mac and Windows 11.
