Can Remote Disc install Microsoft Office onto the MacBook Air?

I'd like to purchase a Macbook Air but will need to install MS Office 2011. Can Office be installed with remote disc? I've read abut some copy protection limitations with remote disc so I want to be sure it will work before buying.
Thanks.

Yes, it certainly can. I loaded it without any problems.

  • How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

    I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

    You have a couple of options.
    1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
    2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
    3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
    Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Apple replaced my hard drive (1tb seagate) and now I can't access my Microsoft office because the license was compromised. is this fixable? or will we be adding this to the list of lawsuits..

    You can reinstall MS using your install disk(s) and the original registration key(s).

  • How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

    How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
    If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops

  • Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2?

    Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2? I'm looking at buying one for uni but need to do assignments and submit them.. how much like a computer is an ipad in this regard?
    Can you update/edit documents in Microsoft word etc on the Ipad2?

    gyrhead mentione OnLive and I find this is the best solution.  Im thinking about paying the monthly fee for it becuase its that good.  Although gyrhead is correct about the virtual keyboard, I find that using a bluetooth keyboard works great.  I use CloudOn also but find that its not a "full" version of Office...well at least Excel.  You cant create Pivot Tables and other things.

  • Will installing Microsoft office on my mac air 2gb 64mb slow my system down, I don't have music or big files currently on my device?

    If I install Microsoft office on my mac air 2gb 64mb, will it slow my system down?  I also have a macbook pro that i dont take out the house with Microsoft office already installed.  Am I best to install Pages on the mac air or will it cause compatibility issues when working on files between the two devices?
    Any help appreciated

    The big question I have is this: is it your intention to work on the same documents on both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro? If so, I strongly suggest that you pick one program and use it on both. Pages and Word are both good word processors but they really are not compatible - rather Pages can read Word files and be forced to create Word files. But the reading and writing isn't perfect and sometimes the amount of work required to re-edit a translated file is substantial.
    Installing Office on the MacBook Air isn't going to slow it down unless your hard drive is already very full and Word should run okay on it (though you might not be able to run Word at the same time as you run other programs).

  • How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

    How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
    Thanks!
    Emily

    The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
    That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

  • How can I get microsoft office on a Macbook Air?

    Hey everyone, I'm still making the dission between whatt mac to buy but if i bought the macbook air how will i be able to get micrOsoft office on it since it dosen't have a SuperDrive? Thanks ;)

    MS seels keys online, then you download.
    Or if you have another Mac with a SuperDrive you can use "Target Mode" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1443.html).

  • Is there any way for me to download microsoft office on my macbook air and it will write in different languges like hebrew without looking wierd ?

    I can not find how to download microsoft office from the apps in the appstore and have it work in hebrew . i need to be able to write in hebrew and that the letters will not mess up on the page . help ..

    MS Office for Mac has never supported Hebrew/Arabic  scripts.  You have to use something else.  Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should also work OK.

  • Can I download Microsoft office FREE in macbook air?

    So  I have a macbook air and i really need microsoft offie word, but can i download it online in the internet? Thank you if you help me

    No. That would be against the law. You have to pay for it.
    You can try a free alternative if you like, like open office, but you're not going to instructions on how to commit a crime here.

  • Microsoft office problem on MacBook Air

    I had Microsoft Office installed when I bought my new MacBook Air. First time I used PowerPoint it froze when I tried to access Clip Art browser.  A little coloured spinning dot came up and continued for ages and I had to reboot several times.  I brought it back to retailer and they rang Apple support who say it is a Microsoft problem.  I have been fobbed off the retailer even though they installed it. I paid a lot of money for this and am very unhappy that nobody can help me.  Has anyone else had this problem? 

    Hi Marlane1,
    Yes, I am actually from Australia, so I try to use American numbers and laws to help people, as America would have a substantial majority of users on this site.
    I agree that the Company that you bought it from needs to take responsibility and give you a refund.
    This website states your consumer rights, they are pretty much identical from ACCC (Aus version) FTC (Us version). Yours would come under a faulty good and under your law, they must give you a refund. Then using this refund purchase it from Apple Store closest to you.
    Apple cannot do much as it is not downloaded from them or the App store however, if you take the laptop in, they might have a look? Depends on how happy they are!!
    Good Luck and remember your consumer rights: https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights
    Anything that a sales person says to you, can be used as a guarantee and therefore you can say that you asked them to do it for the reason of issues, they did that therefore as they did this they have to fix or replace.
