Because even after 14 years MS has failed to add arabic support to most Office products for Mac.  Instead use Open/LibreOffice or Numbers.

  • Help with installing Office for Mac 2011 when I do not have the disks on another machine

    I have a purchased legal version of Office for Mac 2011 on my personal laptop, and I just purchased one for the house (kids).  I do not have the original product key.  How do I get it registered so I can download a version to install on the laptop? 
    I have also logged in (or created accounts) with my two e-mail addresses, but it says neither is associated with Office.  I am not sure what to do.  Thx!!

    Hi,
    This forum is to discuss problems of Office development such as VBA, VSTO, Apps for Office .etc. But I find your question is related to the installing of Office for Mac 2011. So I suggest you posting it in Office
    for Mac support for more effective responses.
    Thanks.

  • You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

    You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

    Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system.  Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows.  It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
    the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
    Open it on a Windows PC
    Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
    See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
    Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too.  I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • Office for Mac 2011 - can't open old files

    I am currently on Mac OS X v10.6.8.  I recently installed Office for Mac 2011.  I cannot open some of my old files.  I think the ones that use the old file names, e.g. .doc and .xls, rather than .docx and .xlsx.
    Can anyone explain how I can open these files in my Office for Mac 2011?
    Many thanks!

    The free LibreOffice will open them, and it's the most cross platform office program (Linux, OS X and Windows versions)

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

    Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

    I'm using Excel, Word and Outlook for Mac 2011 in Yosemite without any issues.  I can't speak for Powerpoint, as I've never opened it.  I'm not a power user in Office, so I doubt I've really exercised it.  But so far, Word editing and some simple Excel spreadsheets I use for inventory tracking have worked with no problem.

  • Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

    I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC.  When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet.  Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming!  The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document.  Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open?  All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem.  Can someone help please?  Thanks!

    You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
    Make sure all Office application are quit fully
    Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
    Look for
    com.microsoft.Excel.plist
    com.microsoft.office.plist
    com.microsoft.Word.plist
    com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
    Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
    Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
    Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
    Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

    I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
    These file extenssions are listed as
    olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
    Oh the ...olk14_message's.  Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder.  Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook.  They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
    You can delete them however using Outlook itself.  In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left.  It will show you the messages in that mailbox.  You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox.  The click the Edit menu and select Delete.  You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections.  Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
    The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes.  When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
    Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar.   Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages.  So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox.  And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
    So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
    Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
    Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too.  It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
    So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox.  But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there.  And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

  • Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

    Help!  I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel.  If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files?  If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

    Thanks, Niel.  I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files.  I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How can I do this?  I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

  • Memory deficiency related to AutoUpdate shipped with Office for Mac 2011

    Hi ,
    I am experiencing memory deficiency associated with Microsoft AutoUpdate for about a month or two.
    Environment
    * Macbook Pro with 8G RAM, 256GB SSD Running Mac OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
    * Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed through my Office 365 University subscription a few months ago.
    * The "Outlook 2011.app"  has been deleted and is substituted by the new Outlook for Mac 15.3 (141024), as is suggested by its installation note.
    * System and Office languages are both simplified Chinese.
    Symptom
    Office programmes like "Excel.app" regularly invoke Microsoft AutoUpdate (Version 3.0 (141024) ) and suggest that a new update is available.  If the user agrees, AutoUpdate will proceed to download the update. It is found by monitoring memory usage using "Activity Monitor.app", the memory usage rises significantly overtime a short while after the download begins. And the memory usage eventually saturates  a few minutes later and the system warns instability due to memory deficiency, and suggests force quit some apps.
    * No other app seems to be causing this problem, which is verified by quitting any app other than "/Library/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app".
    * The symptom is reproducible for today's update, and it was the same for the last update. But as far as I can remember, the auto-update worked well before that.
    The problem makes auto-update impossible and has resulted in instability and loss.
    The workaround that I have at this time is to download the update package (.pkg in .dmg) from Microsoft Download Center by following the Knowledge Base link given by AutoUpdate instead of having AutoUpdate  do this for me.
    Thank you for reading this far :-)
    Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008

    Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.

    Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.
