double click, but don't pirate software, buy your own copy of Microsoft Office.

They should install just by clicking...

Technically speaking if her brother has the EDU version it's not pirating if her's is the second or third computer ;).

Yes it still is pirating. The multiple keys are for use within the same household. Unless they live together it's a violation of the EULA.

Depends on which version they have actually. If they have a retail "Student and Teacher Edition", they live in the same house, and have no intention of using it for commercial purposes, then they are allowed to install it on both machines. If they got the copy through a school with a Microsoft Campus Agreement, then it would be illegal. I am guessing since it came as a DMG file it was obtained through a Microsoft Campus Agreement, but I could be wrong.

Double-click the dmg files to open the disk image (Kind of like a virtual cd), then drag the application from the disk image into your application folder.

It should then be installed.

Make sure it is legit though... if it isn't, dump it for NeoOffice/J instead :)
