Are you looking to install Microsoft Office but only need individual applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel? Downloading the entire Microsoft Office suite can use unnecessary space on your computer. In today’s tutorial, I will teach you how to use the Office Deployment Tool to install individual Microsoft Office applications.
Important Notice About the Version: This specific tutorial and the configuration codes provided below are strictly for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019. Please ensure you have a valid license key ready to activate the software after the installation is complete.

Look for the line that specifies the Product ID. By default, it might say <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">. You can change this to download only the specific software you want:
