Simple you start your VM of Windows, Have the downloaded .ISO or .EXE file of the Office install files and just run it from Windows. If it is an ISO file you may first have to load that on a USB thumb drive using something like ISO to USB program. That is found on the Web by doing a Google search for "ISO to USB".

Then once the install of OIffice starts it may ask for the key or it will ask for it the first time you start one of the Office programs. Type in the key you have.

You just need to be in Win8 under Parallels, download the .exe Office file from MS in IE, and then run the file under Windows. Quite simple. That's the way I downloaded and installed Office 2010 on my MBP using Parallels and XP.

Good luck,
