I wanted to ask which version I should download and install. First, I need to tell you that I use Windows 7 64-bit bootcamp on my Mac. I access it mostly via a virtual machine (VMWare). My Macbook has 8GB RAM and an about 3.1 GHz processor. I have about 10GB of free space on my bootcamp. Which version of Microsoft office should I install, 32-bit or 64-bit? Does 32-bit even work on my bootcamp?
Windows – 32-bit or 64-bit version of Microsoft Office on Windows 7 64-bit bootcamp

The Microsoft support page describes the limitations of the 64bit office.
They are the following:
If these limitations do not apply to you (they seem quite advanced and/or obscure to me) then you should choose the 64bit option.
The 32bit version will work as Microsoft is usually quite good in support of older windows versions and architectures, but there is really no benefit to it.
