How do I download and install Baumans?

Is Baumans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Baumans isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
