Uninstall individual Office 2016 programs?

Question

I installed Office Professional Plus 2016 on my windows 10 system. When I installed it, it didn't give me an option of which office programs to install, like it did in the 2010 version (ex. word, excel etc.). The only program I will use is office word. I don't want all the other programs. Is there a way, or "hack" to get rid of all the programs besides Word?

No, at the time of this reply, the Microsoft Office Suite applications (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) cannot be uninstalled separately. However, if you have applications that you don't want to use, you could do any of the following.

To remove an unwanted application shortcut from the Desktop or a folder, right-click the application shortcut and select Delete.

To remove an unwanted application icon from the Taskbar, right-click the application icon on the Taskbar and select "Unpin from taskbar".

To remove an unwanted application icon from the Start Menu, right-click application icon in the Start Menu and select "Unpin from Start".
