Downloading Word on OS 10.15.7

I have an office subscription and recently installed Word to my iMac running 10.15.7 without any difficulty. Tried to do the same on my MacBook Pro with the same OS 10.15.7 but I'm getting the following: " (null) can’t be installed on “500GB SSD” because macOS version 11 or later is required."


Any suggestions?

Microsoft discontinued support for Office apps on Catalina. Existing installs on Catalina will continue to run but will no longer receive updates. New installs require macOS Big Sur or later.
