How do I load microsoft word on my new macbook air?

i need help! I have no idea how to load this!! this is probably the most easiest thing in the world but I can't figure it out!!!! Thank you!

Do you already have Microsoft Office?  If so it comes with it's own installer.  Just double click it and follow the instructions. Word is only one of its components that is installed.
If you don't have Microsoft Office then you need to purchase it from Microsoft.
If you don't have Microsoft Office and don't want to pay the purchase prices then there are some Office substitutes to choose from:
LibreOffice
OpenOffice
NeoOffice
These are all permutations of OpenOffice.

    How can I transfer microsoft office from my old MacBook Air to my new one?

    All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

  • How do I get Microsoft Office unto my new MacBook Air?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Air to be able to complete my online courses, and soon after I noticed that I don't have Microsoft Office pre-installed. Is that standard that Mac computers don't have Microsoft Office already installed? How can I get MS without having to pay an exuberant amount for a new license?

    yes it is normal, mac computers don't come with MS office on them
    unfortunately the only (legal) way of acquiring microsoft office is to buy a license - as a student you might be entitled to discounts depending on your country (in the UK we have http://www.software4students.co.uk)
    there are alternatives - Pages/Numbers/Keynote are the Apple equivalent of Word, ExCel and PowerPoint respectively. office documents can be opened using these apps too. i hear complaints from people who need certain features only available in MS office but for the average user the Apple versions are brilliant
    then there's the free openoffice, etc, if you were looking for something along those lines

  • Microsoft office 2008 on new macbook air

    I am trying to install my old microsoft office 2008: home and student on my new macbook air with os x mavericks. Microsofts home page is telling me that this is an unsupported product. Can i still install it or do i actually have to buy a new office-package? I can't afford this and would like to use one of the two remaining users on my old office-package, since i hav only used one. Can someone help me with this?

    Good question, all I can find online are updates, not full versions. Assuming that it is no longer available for download (it is 6 years old now) you will have to buy an external drive and use it to install from your discs.
    Edit:
    Found a download on CNET, download it, then very carefully install it, CNET has a bad habit of 'adding' things to downloads so read what the installer dialog boxes say.
    The download is here
    Here is a better source to download from, Microsoft Office 2008. version 12.3.3

  • Is there a patch for Word? My new macbook air keeps freezing up on me when I use Word.

I am not a happy camper at this point and am wondering if there is an upadate or a patch to fix these freezes!?

    When I got a replacement the problem went away.

  • How to sync iCloud photos on iPhone to new MacBook Air

    How can I sync the photos on my iPhone to my new MacBook Air? I have been assuming that when I back up my phone, my photos and videos are on my iCloud account and could, in principle, be synced to my MacBook Air. Is this possible?

    The iCloud backup is storing your Camera roll photos, but you can only use it to restore the iPhone.  See:  iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    Either connect the iPhone to a USB port and download your Camera Roll directly to iPhoto or Aperture, or enable the Photo Stream on your iPhone and on your mac. That will upload all photos from the Camera Roll to iCloud, and you can download them from the Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture. See:  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

  • How do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    how do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    Not possible to create a new mailbox with the iPhone.
    If the account is an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Any additional server stored mailboxes created with an IMAP account will be available automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and will be kept synchronized with the server automatically.
    This is not possible with a POP account. You may be able to create additional server stored mailboxes with a POP account via webmail access for the account using a browser, but such mailboxes will not be available with the iPhone's Mail client, or with any email client used to access the account.

  • Can I get Microsoft Word on the new MacBook

    I solved my problems of always working on her computer by buying my sweet wife a G5 and trashing her Dell. She is going to take a course at a college many miles from our home. I could not wean her from Word, but she is now a Mac Mail and Safari user. I purchased a version of Word when I purchased her G5. I would like to get her a MacBook but, I don't see the option at the Apple Store to buy one with Microsoft Word. Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. Thanks, Steve

    "Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. "
    No. Apple will not preinstall it. You must purchase Office/Word separately: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2004/word2004.aspx?pid=howtobuy

  • How do I install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Air?

    Hey everyone, I just purchased a MacBook Air (4GB ram & 256 SSD) with Lion OS... I have been a PC user for forever & a day... I am going to be installing Windows 7 on it because Wellview is not a mac friendly program aswell as other programs. I am trying to learn the difference between Parallels, Boot Camp, etc... I understand a partition & how it works on a PC & have been reading forums in Mac rumours to try & figure it out on this system... But, what would be the easiest way to install W7? I will have to download Windows 7 OS & it sounds like Parallel but it looks like this MBA has Boot Camp already installed on it. Also, would it be better to have the thunderbolt connected to a hard drive & keep everything off of the the MBA HD? Is there a way to upgrade the RAM in the MBA? I know, that's a lot of questions... But, I would rather ask them here & figure it out rather than asking someone on the phone... Yes, I am male... LOL... One other question I have is how will the touch pad work in windows, how do you hit the typically right mouse button when this laptop doesn't even have one? I know you use the different fingers for different actions as I have been experimenting with... Just wondering on that one... I'm sure it works somehow... LOL...

    OMG Morgan, you are an inquisitor .
    But I will try and answer all your questions:
    1+2: it depends on your demands: if you use both OS's often, and have a "normal" HDD you want to avoid restarting all the time and use a Virtualizer. With a MBA restarting is superquick. If you use Mac apps at the same time with Windows you better use the Virtualizer. But if you are having "bootcam windows" and decide to install a virtualizer later, this Virtualizer can make the VM of the bootcamp partition...
    3: you can not install Windows without a disk.
    4. The X stands for 10: Snow Leopard is 10.6... Leopard is 10.5... Lion is 10.7... They are all OSX. Befrore that there was OS9.
    5. The Bootcamp install is very good guided: Bootcamp makes the partition on your SSD and after that it will ask for the W7 install disk (in case of a CD you need the Apple superdrive). This partition will be about 60GB for W7.
    6. If you use Parallels, there is Kaspersky antivirus included (half a year), it will only install when you say yes on the install question (say no for W7) but as I said before: only use an antivirus in W7 and NOT in OSX, if you do not pay very good attention Parallels will install it also in OSX. Better use Avast, AVG, they are free, simple, fast, and good. NEVER use norton. But you can use the one you know form your PC life....
    7. delete button: same as backspace, if you hold the "Fn" key at the same time it deletes forward.
    8. When a new OS comes available (this not the same as update), make sure before you install it, that all your apps have compatibilty: you can read a lot of posts here of people who did not check before upgrading to Lion!
    (same goes for Windows 8, when it comes).
    No I don't know where W7 is the cheapest.
    9. 32-bit or 64 bit: both are good, it does not make much difference either will run a 32 bit app. I use XP which is 32 bit on a 64-bit Mac OSX, and 64-bit W7. Thus: it depends what you want to run. My old Bankapps are all 32-bit and will not run on W7.
    I hope I informed you enough to make your decisions now.
    have fun.

    The easiest way is to use the original install disks, always assuming that your version of whatever application/s you refer to are compatible with Lion.

    how can I use microsoft word, power point and those apps in my new iMac ? i bought this iMac yesterday so am new on tho and i would like to know

    If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
    Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
    Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.
