How do i load Microsoft office onto my computer without a cd-drive?

I just got the new mac book pro with retina display and this device doesnt have a cd-drive. Along with the computer i got the new microsoft office which come as two cds. How am i supposed to load these onto my computer if i dont have a cd - drive?

The MacBook Air would allow you to use another networked computer with an optical drive to install programs, like this. The same might be possible on the driveless new MacBook Pro.
Assuming the OP has another networked Mac that would work with a retina, but the external drive makes more sense.

How do I install office:mac home &student on my imac without a disk drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Microsoft Office for Mac on a DVD, you have two options:
1. Buy an external optical drive, connect it to the iMac and use it to install Office.
2. If you have another Mac or PC, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Both options are valid, but the option to install it from an external optical drive is much better. It's faster than installing it with Remote Disc

How do I install 10.4 onto a computer without a DVD drive?

Can I put the DVD into a different Mac with a DVD drive, grab the software off the disk, transfer it to the mac without a DVD drive and install from there? Thanks,
Chris

I found a way to do it from an iPod, but I dont want to do that. I have an external Firewire HD that I use for our backup drive but I dont want to whipe that.. although, I use that external drive as my boot drive on the older machine, so I guess I can just hook that external HD to our new Mac, pop in the DVD, reboot the new machine and boot off the DVD and then upgrade the older OS on the firewire. What do you think?

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.

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.

How do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

how do you load microsoft office with your product key number?

I am assuming you have the key number, but not the actual software. Like you I have the key number (my key number good for 3 Macs), but didn't want to dig out the disc to install on another Mac. Going to Office's site I couldn't find any links to download Office, so I had to get the disc to load the program. Once that's done the Office installer will ask for your key number.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

How can I get Microsoft Office onto my Macbook Pro?

I Need Microsoft word and Powerpoint for my Macbook. I have the 2008 version on CD but I have no disk drive on my Laptop....how do I go about installing it? Should I just bring it into the Apple Store and get them to install it?

You could try seeing if your local Apple Store would allow you to use an external drive to install Office 2008... it's no longer available as a digital download that I can find (only 2011 -> http://www.microsoft.com/mac/office-2011-digital-download).
2008 is going to look bad on a Retina display - if you want Retina display capabilities, you'll have to upgrade the the latest version fo 2011.

How do I delete Microsoft office from my computer?

I have a new version of Office for Mac. I need to uninstall it before I can nstal the new version. How is this done?

If the app did not come w/an uninstaller, you can manually drag the app to the trash. Also trash all its preference straggler files if any. Or you may be better off by contacting Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

I am going to buy a MacBook Pro online. How do I organise Microsoft Office For Mac to load onto my new MacBook?

I am going to buy a MacBook Pro 15-inch online. How do I purchase Microsoft Office For Mac to load onto my new MacBook? Can I order this through the Apple website or do I have to go into an Apple Store? Thank You

Jack, you can order online from Apple. Their price right now for MS Office 2011 Mac Home/Student Edition is $150 US. They might put it on your computer but it is very easy to do it yourself.
You could also order rthe same MS Office for Mac online from another retailer. Ex.: OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/software/)
& they have discounted right now for $110 US. I've gotten may products from them and they are easy to deal with & have good prices/products.
There are other retailers, of course, and sometimes I find good prices at the others as well.
Enjoy the new MacBook. And have a good New Year.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2? If yes, then how? I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.
