purchase /download MS Word 2013

my new dell came with MS Office as a free trial. Today I got an email saying it was about to expire with a link to purchase. I only want MS Word 2013 and so I paid and hit download for the stand alone program. WHen I hit install it keeps saying getting started with Office. I do not want office I only want Word 2013. What should I do?? I do not want to run Office on this computer, only Word 2013.

Word is a part of Office, so it does not surprise me that if you are installing just Word along that there are references such as that you mention. 
Hope this helps,

If you followed the purchase link you would have purchased an Office suite.

The stand alone Word cost is the same as the Office 2013 Home & Student suite version.

You don't have to use the other Office components, just as your new Dell would have been supplied with much preinstalled Dell software that you probably have no need for.
