Install MS Office for current user only?

[johannnn]

I have a MS Office .dmg file from work. When I launch it, I can only install for all users. The option to install for the current user only is grayed out.
I'd like to have two users on my Mac, one for personal and one for work. I've already set up all work apps on my work user. I even moved all Office apps out from /Applications/ into a folder I created in my work user. But when I'm logged in to my personal user, I still see the Office apps in Launchpad. And I still see them in Spotlight.

Is there a way to "hide" them in my personal user? Or to install only for the current user even though that option is grayed out?

If you are using local accounts one for work and one for personal, the settings and data for each will be separate but they can use the same apps.

Applications>
Users>personalme
Users>workme

Assuming you need to authenticate the Office licenses, If you installed Office for all, then when you are in the work account, you would login to Office using your work Office license. If you are using your personal account, you would use a separate Office license. The settings and files would be senarate. Is that what you are looking for?

If you just want to install a copy of Office for your current user, you might be able to install it and then move the files to a Users>username>Applications folder. I'm not sure how well that will work for Office. It does work for simpler apps. You might need to adjust the permissions on the Applications folder.
Applications>
Users>personalme
Users>workme>Applications

I don't know that this gives you anything that the other method does, though. It just prevents one user from seeing the Office app files.
