Office C2R Custom Install

Notes

If the below guide is confusing to you then the simplest option for you is to use Office C2R Installer.
Retail Office (e.g. O365) has latest feature updates and Volume Office (e.g. ProPlus 2021) doesn't.
Please note that in the official C2R office custom installation method, there is no ISO or any one-click solution available. Below is the simplest guide to installing customized office.
