Introduction
If you're working from a personal desktop or laptop, you can install the Office suite on up to 5 devices. The below guidance shows you how to install the full Office suite on your own device or open laptops provided by CBC. If you dispose of or sell a computer you install Office onto, you will need to uninstall it before doing so.
Please be aware that you may be limited on downloading and editing your work files on an untrusted device. Wherever possible, you may need to use a secured CBC device.
