Rebuild Office 2016 For Mac Database. In Office 2011, a common way to fix this was to rebuild the Office 2011 database (also known as creating a new identity). However, Microsoft has removed this feature in Office 2016 for Mac claiming Office database rebuilds are now done automatically on Mac. Remove Office 2016 for Mac applications. Open Finder > Applications. Command +click to select all of the Office 2016 for Mac applications. Ctrl+click an application you selected and click Move to Trash. Remove files from your user Library folder. Office 2016 for Mac: Installation was an unexpected hassle When customers dread installing your software, you've got some serious problems. David Gewirtz has some complaints. Office 365 customers get the new Office for Mac first. You’ll have Office applications on your Mac or PC, apps on tablets and smartphones for when you're on the go, and Office Online on the web for everywhere in between.

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 for office word?

Seems you installed Office in Click-to-Run way, unfortunately it's not possible to select what you want to install by default
But you can try changing installation config to achieve this
As the answer in this post in Office Tech, you can add something like below in xml config to skip applications you don't want
If you want only Word, then exclude all but Word in config like
After editing, save and run installer

For starters, out-of-the-box, Microsoft doesn't support individual installation of office 2016 applications. See this quote from their blog and this post:
- Can I install a subset of the Office 2016 applications?
No, the ability to selectively install individual applications is not available with Office 2016. The vast majority of customers prefer the full installation of all of the Office apps so they are assured that they have the ability to open, view and edit any document they may need. We will continue to evaluate feedback on this topic.
If you're interested in a work-around, all I've found was this post, but results aren't verified. Apparently, MS is now providing administrators with a deployment tool for click-to-run installations. If you plan on trying this, I'm curious to see if it works. If it doesn't, it's still possible to supply MS with feedback concerning this, it wouldn't be the first time they change policies after massive feedback from the community (see how onedrive for businesses is evolving at the moment).
