Help with Microsoft Office and iPad

A little background. I have a MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office for Mac. I also have an iPad2 and an iPhone 3gs. I travel for work and am often needing to be able to access and edit spreadsheets and word documents. Mostly spreadsheets. I still need everything to be compatible with windows though because I havent yet successful talked my company into buying Macs yet. Looking like next year.
What is the easiest way/best apps for what I need to do. Ideally everything would sync wirelessly but I am guessing that is the most expensive way. I do not want to invest much because we will more than likely be switching over to all Macs soon.
Thanks in advance

There are a number of apps that work with Office docs (I use Docs 2 Go) but they are all limited compared to a computer version. It depends on how complex yourmdocs (particularly the spreadsheets) are.
for syncing, I use DropBox with the premium version of Docs 2 Go.

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office and an HD - Time Machine. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I want to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff the Microsof Office will work or if I need to reinstall it with another licence ?

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office (and several other licenced softs) and an HD - Time Machine that backup all the stuff. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I would to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff, the Microsof Office will work normally or if I need to reinstall it with another licence?

You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.
Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine. You may need help figuring out how to restore your current backup to a new machine.

Is snow leopard compatible with microsoft office and with quicken 2007?

Is snow leopard 10.6.3 compatible with Microsoft office and with quicken 2007. I am about to upgrade to snow leopard and wanted to see if there are any problems with interfacing with non apple applications. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. Snow Leopard includes Rosetta, which will allow Office 2004 and Quicken 2007 to run. Office 2008 and 2011 are Intel native and will also run under SL.

Problems yoga 3 with microsoft office and open office

Have a problem with running microsoft office and open office on the yoga 3. Both programms are unstable and some calculation sheets in Excel don't even open, while they run perfect on my old HP notebook and the Asus Zenbook of my friend. Does anyone has an idea what could be wrong here?

Latest Yoga 3 ships with Win 8.1
Exactly, what error are you getting. Could you get a screenshot?
Are other/normal excel files working fine?
Does your file have macros or just complex formulas?
Could you create a new excel, copy your data into it and try to work with that?

Can I install Microsoft Word on my iPad, and if so how? I have a disk with Microsoft Office and an extra license to use it, but IPad's do not have disk ports.

How do I install Microsoft Office for Mac on my iPad?

Momojai wrote:
You cannot, as Microsoft Word is made for computers, not tablets. You have two main choices if you want to create documents:
1. Buy Pages in the App Store, does the same job but is made by Apple and not as good.
2. If you have Office 365, there's an Office app for iPhone, but can also run on iPad.
There are far more choices than those two.

NEED HELP WITH MICROSOFT office/Mac/hacking.

NEED HELP: We installed Parrallels, then Windows 8.1 and go to install Office 365 and the computer won't accept it. We call Microsoft and they tell us our system has been hacked at the time we installed Windows 8.1. HELP!!!!! I have got to get may computer fix NOW>>>> I have a bid due in 2 hours and can't get office on my computer and now have a hacked computer..........NOT HAPPY WITH MICROSOFT. Please can someone help

Only Microsoft can help you get a Microsoft product working. But if what you need is software than can do most of what the various modules of MS Office can do, check out LibreOffice, which is an MS Office compatible Office suite, can run directly on the Mac (no Windows necessary), and is free. Just be sure that if the bid will be an Office document which you'll send to someone else, that you save the document in an MS Office-compatible format so they can open and read it.

Need help with Microsoft Office for Mac upgrade question.

My MacBook died, great computer after six years! I just purchased my new MacBook Pro last night. I noticed that the MacBook Pro/OS X Lion does not support PPC software as I was trying to install MS Office 2004, which I have the 2008 upgrade for. Since the 2008 is just the upgrade it wants a previous version already installed and I cannot install 2004 MS Office, does this mean that I have to start over and just buy MS Office 2011?

I'm afraid so. Too bad you didn't apply the 2008 upgrade while your old MacBook was working. Then you could have migrated 2008 to the new machine from the MacBook's hard drive even if the rest of the MacBook was dead.

Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

Hello community,
on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

Hi digital_badger,
as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

I've just purchased an iPad 3, 4th edition. I have been using a PC with Microsoft office xp and would like to sync. My emails, contacts, word docs, photos, music now and in the future. What are my best options? Also, can icloud be used with my PC.

I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible

Ok guys I am new to the iphone 4s. I just dumped my Blackberry after 10 years. I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible? Also I need it to automatically push email and appointments to my phone? I will buy any app just need to know which is best for work environment. Here is what I am thinking about doing. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-con tacts-with-google/ Is this the best way? For personal use I am using paid G whiz app

I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone. It works well for me for the past couple of years.
As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Bob

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office, two email accounts (same server) yet one is fine the other dumps 35,000 emails into inbox. Apple consultants no help. How do I get the 35000 email account fixed?

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office. Two email accounts, same service provider and server, yet one email account is fine and the other dumped the entire server of 35,000 emails into inbox. Need to keep server load for business, but how can emulating server on one account be fixed?

You should clean up your inbox on the server. Log into the account's web interface and move the 35,000 emails out of the inbox into another folder. Why do you need to keep 35,000 emails in the inbox? An email client like OutLook etc. using POP protocol downloads all the inbox emails to your computer.

I recently updated my Macbook Pro to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot access any of my Microsoft Office apps. Is Mavericks not compatible with Microsoft Office? If not, how do I revert?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Office 2008 and 2011 are compatible with OS X Mavericks.
If you are using Office 2008, I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore
