Can I store Microsoft Office docs on iCloud?

Can I post Microsoft Office docs on iCloud without having iWorks?

What is your Mac OS X version? If you have Yosemite on all Macs and iOS 8.1.2 on all mobile devices and upgraded to iCloud Drive, you can store any type of document in iCloud on iCloud Drive and keep it up to date on all devices. Simply create a folder for your MS documents on iCloud Drive and drag the documents over. See: iCloud Drive FAQ
With Mac OS X 10.9 or earlier, try Winston Churchill's User Tip:

HT4847 how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To store Office files on iCloud, you need Numbers, Keynote or Pages, depending of the files you want to upload (Word, PowerPoint or Excel).
First, if you haven't done it, open App Store and purchase Keynote, Numbers and/or Pages. Then, if you have OS X Mountain Lion, when you open the app, you will see an iCloud window where you can drag your Office documents to be uploaded to iCloud.
If you don't have OS X Mountain Lion, open http://www.icloud.com, login with your Apple ID, select iWork and drag your Office documents

How can I load my Microsoft Office documents to iCloud?

I just migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud. How can I get the doucments I had on iDisk into iCloud. They were mostly Microsoft Office docs.
Also in the future, if I create an Office doc, how do I get it on iCloud?

You can load some types of office documents to the iWork section at Icloud.com, however you will need the iOS versions of the iWork apps in order to do this.
I guess however that you are intending using iCloud as general storage as you would have done on your iDisk. Unfortunately iCloud offers no alternative to MobileMe's iDisk, you should consider a third-party alternative such as dropbox or sugarsync.
I also note that your profile states you are using OS X 10.6.2, if that is correct are you aware that you need lion (10.7.2 or better) in order to use iCloud .

Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud CAN Be Done...

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my experience as I've seen threads saying it can't be done and a lot of people confused as to, why not? Here's my method of working so hopefully everyone can enjoy this feature like I am. The image below IS a Word document but it's for my solicitor so has personal info on it.
Just list a few specs I'm using as the system layout might be different to yours;
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model
Step 1: Test Document
Go to Applications and open up 'TextEdit' and click the bottom left hand corner which states 'New Document' and type whatever you want, maybe 'test text'. Go to save and choose a name to save the document under BUT in the field where it says 'Where' choose iCloud... There's a method to my working.
Step 2: Finding the 'Hidden' Library folder in Finder and Mobile Documents
Click 'Finder' and at the top menu bar find 'Go' and click that, with your finger on the options key simultaneously (my keyboard states 'alt' and has the squiggle for Options) then you should see Library pop up, click that. A whole new 'screen' should pop up and scroll down until you find 'Mobile Documents'. Open it up and this is where ALL the iCloud content is saved so don't try and delete or change too much in here if you can help it. Go to the 'com~apple~TextEdit' folder and you should see your STEP 1 test document in there... So, we know it works now? Keep this open for the time being so you don't have to route through again...
Step 3: Putting Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud
Choose what WORD (Pages), EXCEL (Numbers) or POWERPOINT (Keynote) document you want to save in iCloud and open that document up as normal (so in Microsoft Office). Click SAVE AS and here's a pictured example below, save the document as .docx and save. You'll now have TWO of the same documents I have one which is compatible with Mac & Windows but the second is JUST for Mac (I believe) and this .docx is the one you'll need for iCloud.
Step 4: Putting the Word or Document into iCloud
Go back to your Finder window which has the Mobile Documents but then go to File > New Finder Window (So you have them side by side like the picture) > Locate your .docx Saved document and all you need to do is drag that file to the area you want it to go. So, if it's a 'Word' document you'll want to go to Pages as its equivalent. Open up the com~apple~Pages folder and you'll get two other folders and open the one on the left and drag the file into there.
Step 5: Check it's actually in iCloud...
Go to, www.icloud.com
Sign in with your ID etc. and it'll be in there... If you have Pages etc. on your iPhone or iPad... i believe it'll be in there but I haven't got these on my iPhone or iPad. let me know how you do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can share some word documents with pages on your iOS devices.
If you want to upload documents that aren't for use with iOS devices this User Tip might be of interest.

No. Buy it from Microsoft's website or a physical store.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
(I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

Not really.
You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

You are showing 10.6.7. You should be able to run any Office PPC/Mac Compatible version (e.g. Office 2004) with Rosetta in Snow Leopard.
As noted, you can't run a Windows version except on a Windows partition.

Can I transfer Microsoft Office from my Macbook Pro (2008) to my new Macbook Pro (Retina Display)?

Hi guys,
So I recently decided to upgrade to a newer model of my Macbook. As we all know, Apple have had to remove the CD/DVD drive in order to make the new models thinner and lighter, and so now I can't install Microsoft Office 2011 from the disk that was used to install it onto my old Macbook.
I don't particluarly want to part with any money for a USB to CD/DVD drive, and so I was wondering if there was a way of simply copying or moving the old microsoft office onto my new macbook?
Thanks in advance

There are basically two choices; but first you must remove Office from your old Mac (be sure to do that first). This is important because you need to remove the license file and other stuff in order to be able to reuse your license on your new Mac. Then, you can do either of the following:
Get an external Superdrive and install Office on your new Mac, using the Office install DVD. I suggest this is the better alternative.
Download Office 2011 from Microsoft and install online

How can I transfer Microsoft office from my old macbook pro to macbook air

how can I transfer microsoft office from macbook pro to macbook air?

Assuming you have the 2011 version the easiest way is go to Microsoft's Web site and download Mac Office 2011 onto your MacBook Air and then run it. If you have the 2008 (or the 2011) version on disc you can turn on DVD sharing in the Sharing control panel of your MBP and install it by remotely sharing your MBP's DVD.
Since Microsoft uses activation when you start Office on the new computer if you use the same activation code as you used on the MBP you'll probably get a message to call Microsoft. Do so and just explain that you got a new computer.
