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.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and am ready to order Microsoft Office for Mac. I use Windows 2007 at work and want to be sure I am able to work with files from that system. Do I need to buy 2 different editions of Microsoft Office to be able to do this?

    Do I need to buy 2 different Microsoft Office products if I want to be able to use my new Mac with Microsoft Office for Mac and also use files saved on my work computer which uses Microsoft Window 2007?

    Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
    Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
    If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
    So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
    You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
    A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
    So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.

    I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
    What am I missing?

    The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
    Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
    or
    Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column.  If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon.

  • Excel doc created on PC, edited on my Mac, sent back to PC won't print properly.  Do I have to buy Microsoft office for Mac?

    I have to complete their Excel form, send back, they add to it, they want to print it and say it won't print as I see it.  I don't want to buy Microsoft office for Mac just for this... any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    A couple of ideas... when you exported the document did you check "do compatibility check" for Word? If not that's probably it. Other solutions: - OpenOffice, or NeoOffice play well with MS Word. Either of them are free downloads.

  • MacBook, Microsoft Office for Mac - Arabic Writing Problems

    Arabic Writing Problems with All Applications of Microsoft Office for Mac 2008
    Characters are not aligned property to compose the Arabic Words
    MS Word for Mac does not yet support Arabic (or various other scripts). You should let MS know that you want that.
    I have had reports, however, that PowerPoint and Entourage in MS Office 2008 will do correct Arabic. Could you confirm that for me?
    For Arabic the best Mac word processor is Mellel. Others are TextEdit, Nisus Writer, iText Pro, NeoOffice, OpenOffice, StarOffice.

    Download the trial from the Microsoft site, then activate with the code that came with your box set.
    And yes, you can use Remote Disc to make use of the DVD unit on your PC.

  • Is it worth paying for Microsoft office for Mac for college, or is buying iwork a better deal?

    I'll be going off to college in a year or so, and im wondering if it is worth the 120 dollars for microsoft office, or is it better just to get iwork for mac right away?

    Wait until you are enrolled after which you may get it free or at low cost from your school.
    Don't bother with iWork. Schools are pretty standardized on Office. You could also download one the Office-like suites:
    LibreOffice
    Open Office
    Neo Office
    Look for them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I do not have Acrobat available in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 task bar. (Mac OS 10.8.3)
    I have searched, and my understanding is that these two programs are not compatible. Has a plugin or something been developed to do this?
    What functionality is missed by not having this?
    Thanks,
    Donna

    There's no plugin for the Mac version of Office, but you can still use Acrobat by printing to the PDF Printer to generate a PDF from your Office files.
    (PS - you should post Acrobat-related questions in the Acrobat forums, not the Reader ones)

  • Incompatible Changjie Input Method for Macbook Pro Office for Mac

    I have Chinese word input problems when I use my Macbook Pro 13" Retina OS X  and Microsoft Office for Mac Standard 2011 with Service Pack 2.
    When I use Changjie input method to input some Chinese words like "面", "屬", "應", these words cannot be shown with correct input methods. They can only be shown by Quick input method. It is very strange. No such problems exist when I use my iPod, iPad or iPhone 5. Please advise. Thank you!
    For your reference, Changjie input method of the above words are:
    面 ＝ 一田卜中
    屬 ＝ 尸卜卜戈
    應 ＝ 戈土心
    These words cannot be shown by the above methods.

    PS OS X Cangjie does seem to use different codes for those characters:
