Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

Can Microsoft Word and Excel be migrated to mac pro?

You can also install Windows (new activation copy) on your Mac and use Windows natively, or for 99.9% of running Office apps, run Windows as a guest VM is fine. The data can be opened and edited and exported back to native Office format and opened in OpenOffice and others, or in Pages and Numbers, though whether those are satisfactory solutions or not you'll have to decide.
If you have a copy of Office that includes PC and mobile devices and Mac? like Office 365 for 5 devices?
But the actual apps of course are platform / OS specific.
And right now if you are running Windows 8.1 for instance, you can download the ISO and install Windows 10 Technical Preview (very nice btw, combines a lot of desired features). Have only run into one small problem in using it so far.
VirtualBox is free Oracle VM or there are commercial VM products. To run Windows natively you just use a Mac utility, Boot Camp Assistant, to partition a drive (internal) and to install and provides Mac specific drivers.

  • Microsoft Word and Excel...poof!  Gone from my dock.

    I accidentially dragged microsoft word and excel off the dock and it poofed into nowhere.  I found it elsewhere, and dragged it to the desktop.  Tried to open it and got the "application microsoft word quit unexpectedly". So I dragged it down to the dock, and the same thing happened.  I checked the trash, and I didn't throw it away, and even if I did I didn't empty the trash.  Also, I tried to open both a word and excel document, and got the same message that the application quit unexpectedly.  I'm at my wits end.  Somebody please help me!

    First, make sure you have the latest updates for Office.
    Second, try reinstalling Office.
    Third, try opening them in another account. If it works in another user account, then it is something in Office's preferences.
    I have found that when Microsoft products get a bee in their bonnet, nothing can fix it beyond reinstall (even then there are problems).

    I just bought and downloaded LION and now I get a box that says Microsoft Word and Excel can not open because PowerPC Apps are no longer supported. How can I reactivate Word and Excel.

    You need to upgrade to Office 2008 or newer, or switch to a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.

  • Mountain Lion killed microsoft Word and Excel

    I just downloaded and installed 10.7.3 and when I went to use Microsoft Word and Excel and PowerPoint, it said "power PC applications are no longer supported"!
    What?!

    What do you do?

    Thanks, SteveJobsFan0123,
    I appreciate your prompt and helpful reply! You and Neil were amazing in how quickly you replied. That is so incredibly calming when you're going through a sudden and unpleasant technical surprise that looks like a disaster.
    So thanks again! Much appreciated.

  • Microsoft word and excel freezes

    Microsoft word and Excel freezes when we try to save.  They had been working fine until now, and just developed this problem.  We cannot use the programs.  How can this be fixed?

    Did you apply a recent 10.6.8 security update? If so, Apple has recognized that the recent security update was flawed and released a new one to fix this issue.
    See  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3713046?tstart=30

  • What does Mac or apple use for microsoft word and excel?

    What do I need to buy or download to get Microsoft word and excel and PowerPoint ?

    Microsoft makes an Apple version of Office here:

    In my humble opinion, Apple's product is better - and completely compatible with Office.  It is also about 1/2 as expensive:

  • I am thinking of changing to a IMaC for my computer and Want to know if I will be able to upload documents from my old computer and all my photos. Everything is in Microsoft Word and excel. I have a iphone and ipad so that is why i am thinking of changing

    If I change to a IMAC will I be able to upload all my photos and word and excel documents? Also does it have USB ports like I have already used?
    Is there a DVD player on IMACS? It is scary making the move until I am sure I can use everything I already have.  I also have NEAT for all my recepits also.

    When the new Mac first starts up, you get the opportunity to migrate your files from another computer, including a PC. This link tells you how to do it from Windows.
    As for the iMac's features, you can look through this website to get all the details.
    It is possible to install Windows on a Mac and run your Windows applications within it. It's also possible to use programs that are for the Mac which can work with most MS Office files. One good example is LibreOffice.
    Welcome to the Mac.

  • Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

    I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

    Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
    If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
    Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

  • Printing issue with microsoft word and excel

    I open Microsoft 2004 Word and Excel separately and clicked on File / Open....not responding and so force quite. I went to Finder and opened the file directly and It did. But when I clicked Print, the print page doesn't show up. I closed the file. I opened other softwares and tried the Print and Save as PDF and it worked. I booted several times and reinstaled the Microsoft 2004 from original disk and did updates up to 11.6.3 versions. I rebooted again and still the same problem. Please help !

    If you applied the Security Update from a few days ago it sounds like you are affected with this problem:

  • If i upgrade to maverick will i lose my microsoft word and excel for apple

    If I upgrade to maverick will I lose my installed Office Word and Excel for Mac

    You shouldn't, but it would be a really good idea to make a clone of your existing installation using Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading. That way if you have any issues with Mavericks it's very easy to go back. Without the clone it's a lot more difficult.
