How do I stop parallels and windows 7 preventing me from installing office for mac 2011 on my new iMac?

I am trying to install office for mac 2011 on my new imac which I have already installed parallels and windows 7.  On inserting the office dvd the computer defaults to windows.  Parallels support suggested disabling the dvd drive in parallels.  I have tried this but still the computer wants to open the exe file with windows.  Any ideas please?

    You could purchase any commonly available external USB DVD/CD writer, such as the excellent LG brand units sold on Amazon, for about $30 US.  I've used an LG writer for years to save wear and tear on my older Superdrive.

  • Can I have separate pages (using Microsoft word for mac 2011) utilizing a new iMac and a second monitor?

    Hardware - new iMac 21.7, Software Mirosoft word for Mac 2011.
    I presently adjust the text to allow two pages on my iMac monitor.
    If I add a second monitor can I have two different pages on it so I can
    see four consecutive pages (e.g. pages 31 and 32 on the iMac and pages
    33 and 34 on the second monitor)?  I am sure I can move items like
    pictures from one monitor to the other, but will the word processing
    software indicated above work like I would like it to?

    why would one of the pages be split?
    Because you'd stretch the Word window across both displays and the screen bezels would be larger than the page split. The page spacer in Word is much smaller than any bezel I've seen, so the two bezels would cause it to break up a page somewhere.

  • Office for Mac 2011 and OSX 10.9.1

    Hi! I have recent installed and re-installed MS's Office for Mac 2011 on a new OS X 10.9.1 system. Everytime I attempt to use the comments tool on MS Word, the document disappears. When I reopen Word, the same document appears. I am not given an error message, it's just seems to quit. The software is for Home and Students, and I've not had any problems using it on an older operating system. Any advice?

    Have you tried in another user account? That will help isolate the problem to just your account or system-wide.
    Have you tried in Safe Mode? That will help isolate third-party conflicts. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    If the first works, there is something broken (possibly a settings file) in your user folder.
    If the second works in your account, then the problem is tied to third-party software that runs at startup or login.

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011

    How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011 in outlook?  icloud is turned on, sync is turned on in outlook and in itunes.  Email working fine in outlook, but no contact or calendar information.  Microsoft said it is an Apple issue.  They said icloud is not compatible with Outlook.  I have OS Lion if you need to know that.

  • My iMac has MS Office for mac 2011 and I want to get it onto my iPad 4. How?

    My iMac has MS Office for mac 2011 and I want to get it onto my iPad 4. How?

    This is not possible.
    Apps for the Mac are for Mac conputers only running Mac OS X only. iDevices use Apple's mobile OS iOS. They are not cross compatible OSes.
    You would have to use the App Store on your iPad to see if Microsoft has done a scaled down iOS version of Microsoft office for Apple iDevices. I am not sure if they have or not.
    The only Microsoft-like office apps for your iPad that are on The App Store for your iPad is Apple's own Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    Good Luck.

    I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

    Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
    There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
    They also have a limited, free version.

    Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

    Hi friends,
    I have the same problem.
    Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
    It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
    I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
    If yes how can I solve the problem?
    Please let me know.
    Many thanks.
    Best regards

  • How to Install Office for Mac ?

    I am so new to Mac I don't even know what I'm doing wrong. I bought a new MBA yesterday, AirPort Extreme and a MS Office for Mac on a DVD I guess. I set up the wireless base station from my Dell Windows 98 work station. I can get the internet on the MBA and can also see shareable files on my windows machine. I copied the DVD files and made them shareable. Then I copied them to the MBA. I tried copying it to the desktop, then applications, but could not get it to install. I read that it has an installer so you should just double-click on the box icon but nothing happens, it tells me it can't open the file.
    Am I just doing this all kinds of wrong? How can I install Office for Mac on my Air?
    BTW I don't have an external optical drive attachment for the MBA.
    Thank you so much.

    This guide will help you set up DVD sharing on your Windows PC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
    Once that's done, pop in the Office installer DVD.
    On your MacBook Air, open Finder, then choose Remote Disc from the Finder Sidebar.
    Double-click the icon for your PC, and the Office for Mac installer will appear.

  • I was going to purchase Office for Mac 2011, including Outlook.  However, I am hearing many problems with this software including the inability to sync Outlook with iPhone and iPad

    I currently sync my iPhone and iPad with Outlook on my Windows Desktop, but want to switch and still do this on my new Mac running Lion.  However what I am reading about the nightmares of syncing with Outlook in Office for Mac 2011 is making me think twice about going down this road.  What an awful situation of purchasing a Mac and being potentially stumped by 'Office for Mac 2011'.
    I want to continue using Microsoft Office including Outlook for my business applications - but on the Mac.  I like Keynote for presentations, however I also have to create presentations in PowerPoint for some business situations.  So, although I don't ideally want to put Windows onto my Mac, would it be more efficient and less hassle to use Parallels 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010, rather than endure the issues associated with OFM 2011?
    If I decide to use Parallels 7 and Windows 7 am I then into using software to protect against virus' and malware?
    I wouldn't be asking this question if Office for Mac 2011 (including Outlook) wasn't a problem - sadly from what I'm reading, it is. 
    Thank you in anticipation.

    I just resolved my Outlook 2010 + iPhone Calendar sync issue today :  if you have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook (like I do), then you'll find that each account has it's own Calendar (a rather pointless feature IMO).  However you probably only use one Calendar like most people, and what has happened is that the mail account which is set as default for Data Files is not the one you are using.  Try this:
    Outlook 2010 -->  Account Settings -->  click "Data Files" tab -->  select as default whichever acct. is associted with the Calendar you use.  

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.
