Hello. I have two version of Office for Mac. 2008 and 2001. I want to delete the 2008 version. If I use the removal tool within the Offie 2008 folder, is there any danger of the 2001 version being removed too.  Thanks Dave UK

Do you mean Office 2008 and 2011 or do you really want Office 2001? I think you mean 2011 since Office 2001 wouldn't make much sense.
The Office uninstaller should be able to identify there are two versions and allow you to delete either one or both.

  • I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    That's often a permissions problem. Try launching Disk Utility and running the Repair Permissions. That may fix the problem. Also confirm that the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder at the root of the hard drive, not a folder within your wife's Home folder.
    If that doesn't help. post back with further details; your version of Mac OS X, whether you installed Office via a user account with admin privileges or not, and what happens when you try and launch Office from your account including error messages if any.
    Hope this helps.

  • Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

    Hi everyone,
    I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
    For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
    Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
    Thanks!

    I agree with BobTheFisterman.  I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011.  I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac.  It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine.  Not close at all in fact.  I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy.  "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
    The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it.  I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows.  Both are free and get very good reviews.  I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
    The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive.  I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

  • 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 was having problems with a 7-month old version of office for mac 2011, so I completely removed it from my computer. How do I reinstall it?

    Office for Mac 2011 worked fine until yesterday, then I started having problems. I know I completely deleted the trial version, so please do not suggest that as the cause. I also know that I bought a legitimate full version online from the Microsoft store 7 months ago, and I still have the product key. But since I don't have any trace of Office on my Mac anymore, how do I reinstall it? I tried looking on the Microsoft website, but it wasn't helpful. The only other thing I can do is contact Microsoft customer support, which will probably take forever. So, to respond to this post, please: do not mention trial versions for Office, do not mention Microsoft website. I tried posting another question on this topic, but the people who replied did not seem to understand that their suggestions were not relevant.

    I see you had another post for this same issue where you clearly explained your problem.  There were important details in your other thread that would have helped us in assisting you.  You started this new thread, understandably frustrated.  None of us are mind readers.  You started right off telling us not to mention the only two things that would resolve the problem you had mentioned here which was simply that you had uninstalled office and you were trying to reinstall it.  Reading your other thread, it's clear why you made that comment.  It's generally not a good idea to open multiple threads for the same issue as anyone reading this thread would have no idea what steps you have already taken and what suggestions have already been made.

  • What version of office for mac is mininally needed to be installed on 10.9? I just tried my own 2004, which as too old, am hoping 2008 or 2011 since I don't want to buy a new one...

    Hi,
    I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
    On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
    Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
    or do I need 2011 at least?
    Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
    I'd like to know before buying anything......
    Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
    as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
    I hope someone can give me some advice!
    thanks,

    Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
    Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
    You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
    It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice.

  • Scroll function in MS Word, version 2011 Office for Mac

    Updated to OS X Yosemite, and the ability to scroll line by line thru the document is no longer working.  I can move thru the document using the sliding bar on the side, but difficult to get to when more than one file is open.  Have tried closing program, shutting down and reboot, searched help, checked many different documents, also created new document - cannot find a way to turn this option back on. Is there one?

    thank you all for your replies.  this sounds like the community threads i saw about Outlook and Maverick earlier this year and last year.  Some folks loved it---no problems--while others hate the upgrade with Outlook because it's major time killing problem city.  I'm guessing there are variables at play here---like what your hardware is (macbook, imac, macair) and the year of your hardware.  And knowing MSFT, i'm guessing that there are variables there too (DVD, online office 365 subscription, and which year the software for either was created.  i have been down this road before with Apple and MSFT---two different tribes that do their best not to get along as much as they should. 
    we really need forensics on everyone's hardware, software, year of each, and source of software (DVD or online) before we could spot a pattern as to what works and what is going to be a problem.  It would have to be this community that solves it because i know from experience MSFT won't be much help…..and even Apple's support folks do not like trying to solve problems involving MSFT software. 
    so net net---please post another round letting us know your hardware and year, and your Office for Mac 2011 software version and year. also, if you do solve a problem, please let us know too.  thanks everyone

  • HT3783 Does anybody know why my calendar in Outlook Office for Mac duplicates and triplicates entries in the calendar?  I would be really grateful for any explanation...  Kind regards Kate

    Does anybody know why my calendar keeps duplicating diary entries in Outlook office for Mac?
    Many thanks in anticipation.
    Kate

    No dont worry i am not going to copy this. The reason i am asking is to see if it is legal or not, its worth getting a discount if its available. Looks like its a no though. If you ask me NUS should be prosecuted because you can be minimum age of 16 and get an NUS card and it says on their site under the link to apple store 'are you a student in further education. If so why not take advantage of a 15% discount on apple products'. (or somethign alogn those lines) Now me and my mate are but we arent over 18. Ive emailed them to try and get a confirmation. Anyone know an email address that i can contact apple directly about this with? Also any more answers to the original post are welcome.
    I would also like to know if i can get any sort of discount on apple products whilst under the age of 18, whether straight through apple or using for example NUS cards.

  • Which version of office for mac should I use?

    I need office for my mac unfortunately.  There are multiple options like buying the s/w for download, getting it from microsoft in the cloud home or small business.  Anyone know what the best options are for speed and efficiency?  In the past I bought the s/w and had multiple issues with it.

    The different options are shown here:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store?SiteID=msusa&Locale=en_US&Action=DisplayProd uctSearchResultsPage&result=&keywords=office+compare
    Basically, the broad choice categories are:
    *  Office for Mac 2011 (Home, Student, Professional ... your choice): Works on one computer.  You own the software.
    *  Office 365:  Can follow you around ... subscription based.

  • Excel doc created on PC, edited on my Mac, sent back to PC won't print properly.  Do I have to buy Microsoft office for Mac?

    I have to complete their Excel form, send back, they add to it, they want to print it and say it won't print as I see it.  I don't want to buy Microsoft office for Mac just for this... any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    A couple of ideas... when you exported the document did you check "do compatibility check" for Word? If not that's probably it. Other solutions: - OpenOffice, or NeoOffice play well with MS Word. Either of them are free downloads.

  • How I can buy/download the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and download it to my Mac Book now?

    How can I buy and dowload the Microsoft Office for Mac and dowload it now in my Mac Book?

  • I downloaded Office for Mac 2011, and almost immediately my Yahoo email stopped working, most images were disabled throughout my internet sites, and my bank site reported that I was using a "new computer," which is not true. How can I get my email to work

    I have an iMac version 10.6.8/2.66 GHz Intel Processor and 4 GB memory, with Safari 5.1.10. I had used Office for Mac 2008 but had to upgrade for work. The download (from Amazon) went swiftly, but when I started Word, it did not function too well. Then about an hour later I noticed that my Yahoo email site stopped working, it lost all images and the text just jumbled up on the left side of the screen. No amount of emptying caches or resets/quits/restarts did anything. I called the Internet support, and they just said it was my iMac that had the problem. I have been reduced to using MacMail as my email, but this is tenuous, as my Yahoo account keeps holding things up and constantly asking me for my password (and sometimes it does not accept it). How can I get my computer back?

    The path may be long and tedious, grasshopper.
    Actually, the download of Office 2011 for Mac probably was not legal and may have contained bugs or other things meant to make it unstable, or invite a host of issues. The usual path would be Office 2011 for Mac on DVD so you could reinstall it and add the extras from the disc as needed; or fix the installation later on. The updates for security were downloads from Microsoft servers. You'd need a legitmate version with pass code.
    Options for Mac and office-like application suites include Libre Office, NeoOffice, and these run free. The latter supports up to Mavericks. 10.9.1 now. They have a word, excel, and other parts a lot like the real office.
    If you have a working clone of the system prior to installing the Office 2011 for Mac download and any subsequent and perhaps unseen extras, you could revert to it simply by restarting the computer from the clone, where it resides in externally enclosed self-powered hard disk drive, of a type known to support OS X clones... With ports to help work with most modern Macs. FireWire + USB. Then, clone it back w/ carbon copy cloner.
    Short of that, perhaps someone will see your post and offer some indepth method of hunting down bugs via use of Console logs; and maybe booting into Terminal utility to use unix code. It can be rather involved. Maybe Linc Davis will offer some detailed reply that will invite you to read carefully and try it.
    I've given up using computers long ago.

  • 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.
