Software Question regarding my word processor

[WilmaFlintstone]

I need to install a local copy of Word on my system so I can access the mail merge option in my database. I have Office 365 installed on my computer and have used the word processor so I am confused?

Office 365 does not install or run locally, it runs on remote MS servers

you appear to need the version of Office that installs as a local program on your computer (such as office 2016)

you might want to look into the ms office alternatives such as the free open office suite, which can read/write most MS office formats
