Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It looks like you are trying to install Office 2010 on OS X. That's not possible because that version is for Windows, so you have to install Windows on your Mac. As you are going to use it only for Microsoft Office, download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows on a virtual machine.
Another option is to purchase Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Hi
thank you for replying, What do you mean by virtual machine?
A virtual machine is a "computer inside your computer". I mean, an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox emulates a computer with a virtual HDD, optical drive, network card..., so you can install operating systems on them without worrying about doing something wrong and losing data. It's very useful for your use
