Thank you so much!

Does this solution work on different versions of software (in this case MS Office)?  I don't keep up with all the releases so the dates are probably wrong in the following examples.  Lets assume I owned MS Office 07 and I wanted to use your solution.  I assume the MS website DOESN'T offer free trials of outdated software.  So, I go on their website, download MS Office 2011 and then enter my product key from MS Office 2007.  Are you saying that will work?
Personally for me, I don't give two hoots about getting the latest MS Office. So, if I have a working copy of an earlier edition, that's the one I want to install.  And yes, for you NO-NO people, I do remove the software from my previous computers when I do this before I sell them. 
Even if I could upgrade my previous version, I wouldn't want to as it would be a waste of my time during the learning curve.  In fact I'm paying this penalty now in that I'm using MS Office 08 that my wife bought (3 computer version) and insisted I put on my computer to help her on her's.  I was using MS Office 03 and hate the 08 pull down menus.  Since I use the program infrequently, I find myself staggering around trying to find this and that when with the '03 version, it would be simply click and done.

    Because there is no disc drive to install the program with, how do I go about installing the program?

    I assume you never read my reply;
    Download the Office trial copy at www.mactopia.com and run the installer. Enter your license code when prompted to activate the trial version.

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Microsoft Office on Macbook Air

    How am I supposed to install Microsoft Office on my Macbook Air? I heard that it was in CD form but Macbook Airs dont have the CD slot... please help!!!

    It might be a good idea to learn a bit more about your new computer - like how to share the optical drive of another computer. If you don't have another computer handy you might consider buying an inexpensive external optical drive. Or, become familiar with software vendors' download sites. Go to Microsoft's Mac page and download the appropriate package. If you've already bought the DVD be sure to download the file that matches what you bought. You can then use the serial number that came with the box. Another option is to put the DVD into another computer and drag the installer onto a flash drive (this is my favorite solution since it is usually faster than downloading a large program.)

  • Microsoft Office and MacBook Air

    Hello everyone,
    I have just bought a MacBook Air 13 inches (4GB) and I am about to install Microsoft Office. The problem is I remember that when I installed it on my MacBook Pro, the softwares would run very slowly and would always have bugs. Should I avoid installing Microsoft Office on my new MacBook Air ??
    Thanks for your help

    I do agree but was only mentioning Pages since that offers "some" sort of compatibility...this has always been a problem with word processors.  When I was actually using WordPerfect heavily, there was conversion capability for Word documents...well, that was a major overstatement...the conversion actaully only worked on plain text.  And that was sometimes garbbled.  Tables and equations, which I use heavily as an engineer, forget it.  Not possible.  And Excel and Quattro Pro conversion was a disaster.
    So I agree, before buying into a package, underestand the true capability of conversion to other formats.  And honestly assess your goals for compatibility with other products and your needs for those other products.  If you really want the features of a particular product, just buy that product and avoid conversion frustrations.
    Never tried LibreOffice, may have to try it just to see what it is like.

  • How to put microsoft silverlight on macbook air

    I have a macbook air 11 inch and in order to access the inflight entertainment system on the Virgin Australia Airplane I need to download microsoft silverlight.  I have followed the down load steps and downloaded and installed it on my macbook however when I go back to run the test page to see if my macbook is now compatible to run the inflight entertainment system is continues to say i don't have silverlight installed.
    Has anyone come across this before and can offer a suggestion to fixing this.  I think it is because the prossessor on my macbook is only 1.4GHz is this right? and if so how can I get around this?
    Regards,
    Angela
