How do I download microsoft office 2011 on a macbook pro without the cd?

I have bought a microsoft office 2011 program. I wonder how I can download this on my comupter without using the cd?

Get a external cd drive or return the cd to the store and download it instead.
If you don't exactly need to use Office, there is a great donationware/free alternative that is compatible and totally cross platfrom (Linux, Windows and OS X) so your files are never locked up.

  • How can I download Microsoft office excel  for my MacBook Pro Mac OSX version for free. Please help me!

    How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro  for free?

    You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
    If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

  • How can I transfer Microsoft office from my old macbook pro to macbook air

    how can I transfer microsoft office from macbook pro to macbook air?

    Assuming you have the 2011 version the easiest way is go to Microsoft's Web site and download Mac Office 2011 onto your MacBook Air and then run it. If you have the 2008 (or the 2011) version on disc you can turn on DVD sharing in the Sharing control panel of your MBP and install it by remotely sharing your MBP's DVD.
    Since Microsoft uses activation when you start Office on the new computer if you use the same activation code as you used on the MBP you'll probably get a message to call Microsoft. Do so and just explain that you got a new computer.

  • How can i share microsoft office 2011 with my mac pro users

    I recently purchased a mac pro and downloaded microsoft office but want to know how to share with other users on my mac.

    It sounds like you installOffice in the Library folder in your account which limits the use of Office to your account.
    If you would have installed it in the Library at root then everyone on the Mac can use it.
    Not be a user of Office, I think you will have to uninstall it and then reinstall it correctly in the Library folder at root.

  • How do I fix formatting errors in Open Office after downloading Microsoft Office 2011 on my mac?

    I have used Open Office for almost 2 years. I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and now, not only can I not use Open office due to formatting issues, I cannot read any of my documents that were saved in Open Office unless I open them in TextEdit or copy and paste into microsoft word. Does any know of any solutions to this problem?? I tried deleting Microsoft office but that did not fix the issue. This is my first mac... and I love Open Office and prefer it over microsoft...

    Crabtree1234,
    Try this:
    Install LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/)
    Open your OpenOffice document(s)
    Do a "Save As" and choose "Word Document (.docx)"
    Then try opening them in Word.  LibreOffice is mostly the same as OpenOffce but LibreOffice has support for saving .docx files.  Here is more about the crazy history of the relationship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice).
    This may or may not help with the formatting as any conversion of one document format to another is bound to cause issues.
    Good luck.

  • How do I reinstall microsoft office 2011 on my computer?

    HI,
    I have bought Microsoft Office 2011 with my macbook. I factory reset it without backing up any application so I lost my office programs. I tried to reinstall two ways... One with the CD that came in the box, and online, but both had the same negative result.
    I got terminal to open everytime I try to open the install folder in the .dmg file. I don't know how to reinstall Microsoft Office!
    Help please!
    Thanks.

    This really is a user-to-user discussion forum for the MacBook Pro, specifically for hardware issues (thought we go off topic on occasion).  You really need to take your question, if you have the product key, to the Microsoft website.  They also have a vibrant discussion area, and I'm sure someone will help you.  If you have the product key.

  • Cannot open downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac

    I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8).  I keep getting a message that says there is no application that can open the program.  I have managed to get an image by trying to open the .dmg file in disk utility, but when I try again to install, it still says no application can open it.  Disk utility says that the file looks "ok."  I've checked with Microsoft and they say I ought to be able to open it.  Is there anything I can do?

    Most apps use the Installer.app located in /System/Library/CoreServices/ to open installers. Launch that manually, then drop the Office installer app on top of its Dock icon. If that doesn't work, Reinstall Mtn Lion, starting with the latest update, 10.8.5 COMBO update.

  • I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads

    I've downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and installed it, but i can't find it on my applications or open it up in my downloads. I can I get my microsoft up and running? - New to Mac

    Did you actually run the installer? If so, there should be a Microsoft Office 2011 folder in your Applications folder. Have you checked there and confirmed that the folder does not exist? If it does not, try running the Office installer again. Note that if all you did is open the disk image file, you have to now go to the image (which looks like a drive in Finder) and then run the installer.

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

    Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
    Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
    Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead  into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
    Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
    That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes.  I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders.  That is done in preferences.  That's not how iTunes works.  William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided.

  • How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,

  • I have many of those lost photos on my iPod.  How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

    I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device.  I have many of those photos on my iPod.  How can I import those
    photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
    import from that iPod?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

    The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos.  So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
    In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.
