Installing microsoft office
I am buying a new iMac to replace my 8 year old MacPro and was advised to install all apps with a clean install rather than migrate 8 years of content over to the new machine. I own MS Office: mac 2011 on disks.
Two questions. First is this a good idea to do a clean install - would this be better than just dragging the app over from my backup HD?
Second, I have been updating Office for years now and am up to version 14.4.6. If I install from the original startup disk, will I need to manually upgrade Office through those years of updates to get back to 14.4.6 or is there a work-around to avoid many of these steps?
I disagree with doing a clean install and recommend doing a Setup Assistant migration, as detailed in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. That will allow you to keep all your user accounts, passwords, and eliminated reinstalling the 3rd-party apps. As for MS Office, http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44920 indicates that all you need is service pack 1 14.1.0 and the 14.4.6 updater.

Installing Microsoft Office on 2 user accounts
Hi
I have 2 user accounts on a Mac Mini (both administrator)
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 with Outlook but it has only shown up on one of user accounts. There was no option to install on both accounts when I installed it.
Is there anyway to use MS Office 2011 on the 2nd account?
Thanks in advance
JeffDisclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Where was Office installed; in the Mac HD/Apps folder, where it is accessible to all user accounts, or in the Users/~/Apps folder where it is only accessible to the user in whose account it is installed? -
Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?
I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
regards
RogaThanks for taking the time to post Ed
I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
E.G. this blog
Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
"Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
to have finally been suppressed."
This blog
Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
"After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
And this one
Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
"The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
here.
So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view

Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows. Office 2011 is for Mac. If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine. -

I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro. While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011. Is there a way around this issue?
Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010

Installing Microsoft Office on Windows Server 2008 R2
Can I install Microsoft Office on Windows Server 2008 R2?
I'm not trying to use this installation from client machines, I just want to use this installation from the same machine.
It's a Home LAN, I need to develop some applications, but basically, the server should be used as any other machine by any member of the family.
Each machine will have it's own suite of Office Applications. It's just 3 machines
Believe you can do it, and you will!!Yes, I've done that successfully, but I use the Volume Licensing edition (Professional Plus).

If you have a Retail edition, it might not be as successful...

Installing Microsoft Office:mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition
I am trying to install Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student and teacher edition.
I don't know how to achieve this.
I have tried the Office Setup Assistant but it says "You can't open the application "Office Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So, I assume I have to do the "Drag the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk to install all Office components" option.
Being very new to iMac, my question is, "Where exactly do I drag it to? Which icon along the bottom or should it go somewhere else?
Any help would be great
ThanksIt will not work with Mountain Lion. You need Office 2011 for OS X.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
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.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
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.

How to re-install Microsoft Office
Hi there
I've recently restored my Acer Aspire V5-122P back to factory settings. I have been trying to re-install Microsoft Office. As I have already paid for it, I was wondering if it is possible to reinstall it without having to buy it again. I have a 25 character
product key but I'm not sure whether it will be accepted or not - as this is the product key I used when I first bought my laptop.
Sorry for the poor lack of information - I'm not the best with computer related stuff haha.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Georgia :)Hi,
You can reinstall Office and activate it with your original product key. As long as your hardware is not substantially different, Office product key will still works.
If you have made changes to the hardware, then it will be considered as a new computer. You may choose the phone activation and activate the Office. You might check this link to see how to
do a phone activation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

Help: My dock froze while installing Microsoft office: Mac
I was installing Microsoft Office 2008: Mac when the downloader got stuck at a certain point and the estimated time until finish is only increasing and the download bar is not moving. I tried to open up Firefox while this was happening and this resulted in me Force Quitting firefox and left me with a "Frozen Dock"
How should I handle this situation and should i cancel the download for office because their website says that i am entitled to a new product key since the download did not work.
Note: the microsoft office: mac that i am installing is from a disk, not the internet.
Message was edited by: TheisenTheisen,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your post is a little confusing, first you say you were installing MS Office via a downloader and then later you say you are installing it from a Disc. If you installing it via the install disc the you are doing just that, installing not downloading.
Also when doing an installation it's generally not a good idea to be working in other applications as it seems you were by trying to use Firefox.
My recommendation would be to restart your computer and ONLY run the MS Office installation per the instructions MS provides. Do not have any other applications running. If it still fails then contact MS, you should be able to find the number in the documentation you received with the product. After you have installed it then run updates for it to ensure you are on the most up-to-date version which is currently 12.2.4.

Trouble installing microsoft office 2013
When i try to install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 32 bit i get the message "Please Wait, were sorry. It looks like another installation is running. Please wait until it's finished and try installing Office again" although i
do not have any other installations running. And once i press close to that Microsoft Bootstrapper "stops working" I have windows 7. Please help, thankyou!Hi,
First, try to reboot your computer to check the issue, if the issue still occurs, then try the following methods.
Note: Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications
of these settings are at your own risk.
I need you to check in the registry for a certain subkey that might be there. The subkey we are looking for is called “InProgress”
From your desktop click the Start
button
In the search field type “regedit” (do not hit enter, “regedit.exe” will appear in the start menu)
Right-click “regedit.exe” and select “Run as administrator”
(If you receive the User Account Control message, select continue or allow to proceed)
You should now be the Registry Editor.
Now we are going to browse to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Expand SOFTWARE
Expand Microsoft
Expand Windows
Expand CurrentVersion
Expand Installer
Under the “Installer” key do you see the subkey “Inprogress”, if so, right-click the “Inprogress” subkey and select delete.
After you delete the “Inprogress” subkey, close the Registry Editor and any other window that you may have open and restart your computer.

You can probably get a better response by posting on the windows Compatibility forum here:
