SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office and choose to perform a Custom installation, a complete installation is not automatically performed.



CAUSE
When you select Custom in the Main Options dialog box, the Custom Options dialog box is displayed, and you have the opportunity to choose the components to be installed. By default, only the options that are installed during a Typical installation are selected. Note that this behavior is different from earlier versions of Office in which all options are selected by default.



RESOLUTION
To perform a complete installation (where all components are installed), click the Select All option on the right side of the Custom Options dialog box.

NOTE: The Select All button remains available when you select a component and click the Change Options button. If you click Select All in the Change Options Dialog Box, the Select All is only applied to those components. To ensure that a complete installation is performed, click the Select All button in the top level Custom Options dialog box.



STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Office.
