It might be easier to download the trial version from the microsoft site and then use the code off your box set to activate it.

What happens when you try to install Microsoft Office? Do you see a message? Also, have a look at this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5290
If you have installed Microsoft Office but you have problems opening the applications, install the most recent version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads

How do install Office: Mac 2011? I am getting an error message when I go to the page...

trying to install microsoft office: mac 2011 home and student. i am directed to a page and when i click on the link I get an error message about security. i don't have the option anywhere of entering the product key. not sure what to do.

You need to download the installer from Microsoft after you purchase it. Then you will have to run that application and it will request the product key as it goes thru the motions of setting up the product.
If you're trying to download an illegal version for free, that will explain the security message. The browser would be trying to protect you from yourself.

I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
Thanks Dave

Hello Dave,
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

Anybody with isues running office:mac 2011, I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 It ran for years then recenty started giving me error message that it might not be compatible. I tried reinstaling with no luck.11?

Anybody with isues running office:mac 2011, I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 It ran for 2 years then recenty started giving me error message that it might not be compatible. I tried reinstaling with no luck.11?

I think my problem has been that in Sytem Preferences>Mouse, my "Double-Click Speed" was set to the SLOWEST setting. After some experimentation, I now have the that setting two notches from the "Fast" end of the scale. In case it's important, the "Primary mouse button" in my Preferences is set to "Left".
This not only solves the text selection issues described, but also seems to eliminate the strange "resolving alias to" problem.
[For the curious, I have a Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse which can be configured with "Logitech Control Center". But the LCC software doesn't control double-click speed; this setting can only be made in the Mouse System Preference pane.]

Office:mac 2011 was working ok after I installed it last month on my new macbook air. Suddently I no longer can use these programs (Word, Excel, PP) when it's opening a message "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" appears... I tried to reinstalled it but it's the same. Can anyone help please? Thanking you.

Replying to myself here fyi ... I've just got a MS AutoUpdate 'popup' saying Office 2011 14.3.6 Update ... After a few minutes ... voila problem was fixed. Thanks to 'whom it may concern' I'm happy

Trouble installing Office Mac 2011

I am trying to download Office:Mac 2011 on my new MacBook Pro but keep getting pop up which says it cannot continue with the installation as Safari is open. We have disconnected from the internet but it still keeps telling me the same message. I have tried starting again etc but no joy. Please can someone help?

As Office is not an Apple product, you may get better help by posting this question in the Microsoft Office for Mac forums here:
http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/
Also, I did not know there is a downloadable Office for Mac source. Are you trying to get it from the Microsoft site or someplace else. If the later, it could be a pirated copy and potentially contain malware.

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
From Microsoft's site:
How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
7. Click Download Now to start the download.
8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.

Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.
I want to use Japanese, English, and Chinese on Office word/excel.
When downloading Office Mac, which language should I choose?
Or it does not matter which language to choose when downloading??
Thank you for your help!
Sorry that I am not really good at computer. This is my first time to set up my computer from zero..

You should choose the language you want to have the menus and dialogues appear in. That has nothing to do with typing different languages, you can always do that no matter what language your app is in. (Except you should note that Word for Mac does not support typing in RTL or Indic scripts).
For questions about Office, best use the forums run by the people who make it

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time machine.

By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock? The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it.
If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.
