I upgraded to Yosemite - do I need to upgrade Microsoft Office

I recently upgraded to Yosemite.  Do I need to upgrade my Microsoft Office?

If you're using Office 2004 or earlier, you need to upgrade or replace it. If you're using Office 2008 or 2011, no.
If you upgraded from 10.7 or newer, you'll already be running a compatible Office version.

    I need to reinstall microsoft office but no longer have the key. Is there a way around this?

    No ideas while working in the dark.
    What version of Office?
    What Mac?
    What version of OS X?

  • I need to run Microsoft Office 2010 and can't figure out what I need to do...

    Im taking a office applications class and we're required to use Microsoft Office 2010. I have Windows for mac 2011 on my computer but that's not good enough. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get Office 2010 running on my iMac desktop. I'm really not very computer savvy when it comes to this stuff...

    To run Microsoft Office 2010 on your iMac you will need to install Windows.  You can do this one of two ways. 
    Use BootCamp (free program on your iMac) to make a windows partition and then install Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) then you will need to restart your computer with the windows partition then you will need to install Microsoft Office. 
    You can buy Parallels Desktop 7 ($79.95) or VMware Fusion 4 (49.95) these programs make what is called a virtual machine on your iMac it's like any other program, but is is designed to run Windows and other OS along side of your Mac OS no need to restart your iMac, the main advantage.  Once you install Windows then you can install Microsoft Office 2010. 
    Note: Both of these methods will require a full version of Microsoft Windows. 

  • I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible

    Ok guys I am new to the iphone 4s. I just dumped my Blackberry after 10 years. I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible? Also I need it to automatically push email and appointments to my phone? I will buy any app just need to know which is best for work environment. Here is what I am thinking about doing. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-con tacts-with-google/ Is this the best way? For personal use I am using paid G whiz app

    I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone.  It works well for me for the past couple of years.
    As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
    As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

  • New Mac User Needs help opening Microsoft office 2007 files on a Mac!!!

    I just got a used ibook G4. I had an old Pentium upgrade IBM before. I love my Mac, but I need my old school files form my IBM. I have OpenOffice.org 2.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I have a file converter program called X 11 that opens with a huge list of options for converting files, but it dose not say Microsoft offices 2007 it says the version numbers. I tryed the latest version and It wouldn't open in OpenOffice.org. Should I use Apple Script instead? I don't have Apple Works do I need it? I just want to look at the files. Why is there not a office viewer for Mac?

    You have Tiger. Tiger=10.4.x; Panther=10.3.x; Leopard=10.5.x.
    If you are trying with OpenOffice 2.2, it might be worth updating. I have version 2.4, which is the latest. Since 2.4 fixes a security issue, you should update if you plan to use the application anyway.
    NeoOffice, as a previous poster pointed out, should be able to open Office 2007 documents.
    See the discussion at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4542 for the main OpenOffice thread discussing this issue. It discusses the ODF converter at sourceforge which NeoOffice uses to open Office 2007 documents. Apparently, you can use it with regular OpenOffice, too, but if 2.4 doesn't come with it (and maybe it does - I haven't checked), it might be easier to use NeoOffice for now.
    X11 is not a file converter, by the way. It is the traditional unix GUI. Apple provides a version of this for OS X which enables you to run applications which haven't been ported to the native OS X environment. OpenOffice for Mac OS X uses X11 as do some other applications, such as GIMP, which you may have heard of/used. NeoOffice is a version of OpenOffice ported to the native OS X environment (i.e. it doesn't have to use X11). I haven't used it in a long time - I always use OpenOffice on X11 - but it is supposed to be very good now and should seem very familiar if you're used to OpenOffice. If you can't get OpenOffice to work with your files, you should definitely try NeoOffice before buying MS Office - unless, of course, you especially want to send MS a few hundred of your preferred currency.
    The other thing you can try, if you've still got Office on your IBM machine is converting the files there by opening them and choosing "save as...". That should allow you to select an earlier version of Word/Excel/... which OpenOffice should have fewer problems with. Since you may lose formatting this way, try the other options first. (Also, if you have a lot of files, this option will be very annoying to implement.)
    I do not think AppleWorks is likely to help. (I'm not sure if AppleWorks is even still available... somebody?) There are some suggestions Pages might help, but I would personally try the other solutions first. (On the other hand, I have a very old version of Pages.)
    AppleScript is almost certainly not what you want. It has nothing to do with AppleWorks. It is a scripting language.
    Good luck,

  • Can't open Microsoft Office 2011 even after unistalling then reinstalling. Error message comes up before launch. What do I do? Can I fix this? I need to activate Microsoft Office within 15 days!!

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro Running on OSX Mavericks and used Time Machine to move my documents and applications. However Microsoft Office Student/ Home applications did not work and requested a product key. I did not have the product key for it as I had installed Microsoft a long time ago, so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office. Everything installed fine, however when I go to open it it failed to open.
    I need to activate my Microsoft Office within 15 days apparently and this is done when the application is launched. However none of the Microsoft Office applications do Launch (not Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook).
    Whenever I tried to open one of the named above the Microsoft Error Reporting App would pop up and list the errors. I was advised on other support pages to disenable this app so I have done that but now Word is now giving its own error message saying:
    Process:

    I don't know or understand what is stopping me from launching my Misrosoft Office. I am wondering if others have encountered similar problems with OSX Mavericks and the Microsoft Office 2011? Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to launch?
    I need to get hold of my Word and Powerpoint Documents ASAP.

    This indicates you had a bad install. You need to completely remove Office and reinstall using your new CD Key. See instructions here. Do not do the simple remove, Use the COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FILES steps.
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
    so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office.
    You don't purchase a PIN. A PIN is generated when you install Office. You need a CD Key. If you bought Office365, you activate online.
    I have issues with the Microsoft User Data - are there supposed to be two? and where exactly do they belon. They are in the Documents file at the moment.
    Unless you used Outlook or Entourage you can delete both Microsoft User Data folders. When you install Office it will create a new one. Only Outlook & Entourage used this folder for data. W,E,P stores it's data in the User's Library/Application Support/Microsoft folder now.

  • Upgrading microsoft office

    I currently have Microsoft office 2008 downloaded on my macbook pro.  I recently came into possession of Microsoft office 2011.  If I upgrade from 2008 to 2011 will I loose all of my documents?

    If I upgrade from 2008 to 2011 will I loose all of my documents?
    No.
    For what it's worth, this is not an update that erases 2008 to install 2011. You can actually have them both installed in your Applications folder. I do.

  • G5 with Panther (10.3.9) but I need to install Microsoft Office 2008!

    I'm working in a office where I use a G5 with Panther (10.3.9). I'm wanting to install Microsoft Office 2008 on this computer, however, it requires 10.4.9 or later, which I guess would mean an upgrade to Tiger? Anyone know a way to bypass this install, someone suggested possibly installing in Classic? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    The minimum requirements won't allow you to install Office 2008 on anything less that what it states. That's normally due to changes in later versions of the OS, or newer features that don't exist in older OS versions that the program relies on to run.

  • Upgrading microsoft office each time i sync my ipad with my macbook pro?

    when I sync my iPad2 on my Mac Book Pro it appears a window of Microsoft Office saying that is upgrading the identity... sounds strange!

    If you've been syncing photos to the iPad then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try syncing - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Need help with Microsoft Office for Mac upgrade question.

    My MacBook died, great computer after six years! I just purchased my new MacBook Pro last night. I noticed that the MacBook Pro/OS X Lion does not support PPC software as I was trying to install MS Office 2004, which I have the 2008 upgrade for. Since the 2008 is just the upgrade it wants a previous version already installed and I cannot install 2004 MS Office, does this mean that I have to start over and just buy MS Office 2011?

    I'm afraid so. Too bad you didn't apply the 2008 upgrade while your old MacBook was working. Then you could have migrated 2008 to the new machine from the MacBook's hard drive even if the rest of the MacBook was dead.

  • NEED HELP WITH MICROSOFT office/Mac/hacking.

    NEED HELP: We installed Parrallels, then Windows 8.1 and go to install Office 365 and the computer won't accept it.  We call Microsoft and they tell us our system has been hacked at the time we installed Windows 8.1.  HELP!!!!! I have got to get may computer fix NOW>>>> I have a bid due in 2 hours and can't get office on my computer and now have a hacked computer..........NOT HAPPY WITH MICROSOFT.  Please can someone help

    Only Microsoft can help you get a Microsoft product working. But if what you need is software than can do most of what the various modules of MS Office can do, check out LibreOffice, which is an MS Office compatible Office suite, can run directly on the Mac (no Windows necessary), and is free. Just be sure that if the bid will be an Office document which you'll send to someone else, that you save the document in an MS Office-compatible format so they can open and read it.

  • Wish to fix an error code after upgrading Microsoft Office 2007

    I just recently upgraded to MS Office 2007, but every time I launch Microsoft Outlook, I get this error code: The Add-in "ACT! Extensions" (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Act9Ext.dll) cannot be loaded and has been disabled by Outlook. Then goes on to advise me to contact the Add-in manufacturer for an update or uninstall the add-in.
    I no longer have that specific version of ACT on my computer, but obviously I still have that extension and I am unable to find it.
    I will appreciate if someone is able to help me to correct this error.
    Thank you,

  • Where can I find what versions of software are compatible with Yosemite? ie. Logic Express, Microsoft Office, iTunes etc

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of getting a new iMac, however I am concerned some current software will not be compatible with it and I'll lose files etc. For example all my music files for Logic Express 8.
    I am currently running:
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8,
    iTunes 11.4,
    iPhoto 7.1.5,
    Logic Express 8.0.2,
    Microsoft Word/Excel etc. is 12.3.6.
    These are the most used applications so I want to limit any losses from these if I were to get a new iMac.
    Any support with this, and on how to transfer files to a new iMac would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 crashes when printing since upgrading to Yosemite

    Ever since upgrading my Macbook Pro (late 2009) to OS X Yosemite I'm having trouble with Microsoft Office 2008. Whenever I try to print from any of the Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), the program will crash and the file will not print. I am still able to print from other programs (Safari, Preview, etc...). And aside from this I'm having no other issues with the Office programs. So at the moment I'm reducing to having to save files as a PDF and then printing from Preview. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

    I'm not sure if the printer driver is updated, it usually does that automatically...
    That sounds magical but I have never had printer drivers automatically update themselves. After your upgrade to Yosemite, did you setup your printer using Print & Scan in System Preferences?
    ...office programs are the only ones crashing when I try to print, so wouldnt that indicate an Office issue rather than a printer driver issue?
    No, not necessarily. See thread "microsoft office crashes when trying to print."
    If you believe the your problem is an "Office issue" then you might try the Microsoft forum.

  • Hard drive crash, lost everything, need Microsoft Office back

    My Macbook Pro's hard drive recently crashed, and I lost everything. I need to reinstall Microsoft Office Student & Home Edition 2008, but since it came installed on my Mac, I have no clue how to get it back. Ideas? Thanks!!
    Would it be on my applications CD with the ilife package?

    If it came pre installed on your Mac, check the Optional Installs.pkg in the install disc.
    It's not part of the iLife suite of software.
