Help installing Office onto a Macbook?

Question

I have a mac and for school they gave out disks for us to install Office onto our computer. The disk shows up on the desktop, but when I open it, it doesn't have an installation options, it only has a bunch of folders and when I try to open things within those folders, they are mostly opened through TextEdit. I need something that is step by step so that I can know how to do it.

Answer 1

You were given the Windows version of Microsoft Office. You need the Mac version:

It will work if you buy this. Your school might have it free.

Answer 2

you need office 98 not 07 or 04 not 03, because macs are not supporting pc installations, and a screen should have come up

Answer 3

You have the windows version of Office. What you need is the Mac version. To verify this when you open the disk there should be a file called setup.exe blacked out. If you see that you have a windows version.
