How do i work in Excel/Powerpoint/Word in Macbook

I bought a new Macbook 13-Inch Aluminium
I work on excel most times and word for documentation
and sometimes powerpoint
How do i get them on my MAC ?
Is there alternative software ?

They are all available for the Mac from Microsoft. The version is not the same however and even beyond the fact that using Excel on a Mac is different it can be hard to adjust to. Right clicking makes so many things easy in Excel on a PC, sorting was easier I know that. I have just had a lot of headaches. I ended up adding Parallels with Windows XP and Office 2007 and if I really need to do something beyond the basics I use that. If it is basic of simple I use Office 08 for the Mac. I don’t think open source is a bad idea, it just depends on who you are sharing your data with.
There is also iWork 08 from Apple, I know you can use Numbers for spreadsheets, no idea how good it is. In regards to a presentation tool Keynote from what I remember in the past is pretty awesome; again there is a version of PP in Office 08. There is also Pages to replace Word, although Word 08 works great for me. Again it is all in who you are sharing your files with and how extensively you use the apps. Yes I am sure the apps can save in compatible formats for Office but there could be some snags. I haven’t researched it a lot yet.
With all of this being said I am glad I switched to a Mac.

  • How to type Pashto in Microsoft Office Word in Macbook Pro?

    How to type Pashto in Microsoft Office Word in Macbook Pro? Though I have added Pashto Language, but when typing Pashto, It types something non-sense. Please guide me, if you know. The writing method of Pashto is the same like Arabic. I mean from Right to Left.

    No version of MS Word for OS X has ever supported Arabic script.  Instead you must use another app.  Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

  • Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
    Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

  • S7120 slow/errornous storage of excel/powerpoint/word in ADS environment

    Recently we migrate form our SUN PCNL to ADS (Windows 2008) with S7120 storage. The S7120 is pretty fast but if users try to store large (~100-150MB) excel/ppt/word files it is to store file is getting very slow and sometimes it fails.
    The way MS-office store files is that first all data are stored to temporary file in the file system and then the file is renamed and the old file is saved as security copy of deleted, depending on client user settings. There are pretty much information about this problem, but no real solution.
    Can this be caused by some strange SMB settings on S7120? Does anybody in the forum have a similar configuration (XP and Windows 7 clients) and have the same problems or maybe not.
    Thanks for any hint about this problem. It is really annoying for the users.

    Hi,
    You can refer to the link that Stefan provided, go to Order backup for Office on a Mac.
    If this doesn't help, since we support Office for Windows in this forum, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:

  • Generate a new SAP mode maximized and active working with Excel or Word

    Hello!
    We have an event that it generates a new SAP mode in the desktop. This mode is generated ok (maximized and active) if the user is working in other SAP mode in this moment.
    But this mode is generated minimized if the user is working with a Word or Excel Microsoft document in this moment.
    We need to generate this new mode: ACTIVE and MAXIMIZED when the user is working wiht any non SAP tool in that moment. Is this possible??
    We have checked the following functions module with  failed results:
    NAVIGATION_EXECUTE_OBJECT
    ECATT_START_GUI_REMOTE
    TH_CREATE_MODE
    Thanks in advance!!

    Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? (I'm having trouble determining from your "More system information" whether it's enabled or disabled.) Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

  • Anyone use excel/powerpoint/words with the new OSX Maverick?

    I have the 2004 MS Office Student Edition and was told it will not work with Maverick. Will the later version 2008 or 2011 work with Maverick?

    Office 2004 doesn't work with OS X Mavericks because it's a PowerPC application. However, both Office 2008 and 2011 work with OS X Mavericks, so the only thing you have to do is to upgrade Microsoft Office to the latest version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    You can also consider other applications like Apple's iWork and LibreOffice. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • How do I share an excel file on my macbook pro in iCloud?

    I am using Microsoft Excel for the MAC 2011.
    I'm trying to share this file in iCloud so I can view and edit it from my iPad 2.
    I have turned on iCloud on both devices but can't figure out how to share the file.
    Any suggestions?

    You need to have Numbers on your iPad (and probably also on your Mac, not sure).
    Save the Excel file anywhere on the Mac.
    Open Safari and go to www.icloud.com and enter your AppleID and password. Click on iWork and then on the top of the window select Numbers. On the top right corner there is a weel which clicked will let you upload your excel file to iCloud.  Done.
    You will find the excle file on the iPad and open it with Numbers.
    THe compatibility is good but not 100% especcialy if the file is complex.
    PS: Numbers for iPad and for Mac are different programs, if both are needed you have to buy both.

  • How do I work messages with AIM on my MacBook pro?

    How can I request a video chat through messages on MacBook pro? The other person cannot connect to me.

    The Mac version is called Real Studio
    That is not the same as Visual Basic.  It is similar, but not the same.  Unless something has changed in the last few years, it will not execute or create Visual Basic code.  That may or may not be important to the OP, depending on whether he actually needs VB or just a product that is similar, but is an important point he needs to be aware of.

  • How do you download windows and powerpoint on your macbook pro?

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    You either have to use BootCamp to create a partition for Windows or install virtualiztion software to run Windows.
    But there is really no need to do that if you get a copy of Office for Mac. That will install on OS X directly.

  • How can I download excel and word

    I need work in excel and word in my iPed - please guide

    You cannot download or install Word or Excel for the iPad. MS has not released an iOS version.
    There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think. Apple also has their iWorks suite of apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote that are compatible with the MS Office apps.

  • When updating to 8.5.1. from 8.5., the excel and word toolbox vi's are gone

    I updated from 8.5 to 8.5.1 and now my vi's with excel and word sub vi's do not work.  I re-installed the toolbox for Microsoft office and this did not help. 
    How can I get the excel and word sub vi's to work?

    I tried uninstalling lv 8.5.1. through the control panel, add/remove programs.  I only uninstalled lv 8.5.1. and not all the other programs.  Once re-installed, the functions palette still shows no word or excel sub vi's. 
    Did you uninstall all of the labview programs and toolbox, or just labview 8.5.1?
    Thanks,
