Microsoft 2011 "fuzzy" on Retina display.

Hello.
I recently download Microsoft 2011 for Mac and it's pretty fuzzy. It doesn't bother me so much but I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to fix it?
I don't know if you guys can see that really well but I'm hoping you know what I'm talking about. Thank you in advance!

  • InDesign CS6 looks fuzzy with retina display

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display and installed my CS6 software. Photoshop and Illustrator look fine, but InDesign looks pixelated. The menus and fonts look fuzzy. I can't work like this. I read there is a possibility to uncheck the "open in low resolution" box but haven't been able to actually uncheck it. Can someone help with this?

    Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to CC to get retina InDesign & Acrobat.

  • Microsoft Office in MBP Retina Display

    OK, so we are all frustrated in having a beautiful Retina Display and have to deal with low resolution Microsoft Office....
    Looking around, I found that if you right click any Office App and you go to "get info", you will see a grayed out option that reads "Open in Low Resolution"... the problem is tha it is grayed out... so I cannot uncheck it.... any ideas anyone?

    Hi Clinton thanks for your response.
    I tried to add these fonts onto my Font Book, and errors pop up for ALL my OTF fonts. That was so surprising as I never had any issues with fonts and I have been using Font book since the day it was available to us.
    I converted one OFT font to true type and it then worked ok which is great however I have many many fonts (also archived library too which I might need in the future) and doing this manually on the online convertor just takes too long.
    I tried out FontXchange, but the TTF save is a .suit which Font Book doesn't like either. Only .TTF seems to work now.
    On my old MBP, I was running the most updated Lion update etc. so its the same as the retina MBP that I am using now.

  • Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

    Hi everyone,
    I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
    For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
    Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
    Thanks!

    I agree with BobTheFisterman.  I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011.  I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac.  It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine.  Not close at all in fact.  I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy.  "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
    The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it.  I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows.  Both are free and get very good reviews.  I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
    The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive.  I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Office 2011 needs an update to be compatible with Retina display. Install the most recent version from the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads Or open an Office app, and go to Help menu (on the menu bar) > Check for Updates. Run it twice

  • Issues in Word and Excel 2011 in Retina display

    Well I have a MBPr and Offcie 2011. It is updated to the last version (The one that seems to support retina display). At the beginning when I updated it did not work so I did the “Touch” trick in terminal for every office application, and apparently it worked, at least I thought that but on a closer inspection:
    I found, for instance in  Excel, everything is in high resolution but the Styles Tab. It still looks grainy, like in low resolution.
    In Word, it happen the same, everything is in high resolution but Styles Tab and the lower right corner buttons (the ones you use for zoom and the page layouts).
    Somebody elese have the same issues, I mean it is a normal behavior, or I am the only one?? Should I reinstall office to solve that?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
    Brian

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
    Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    I've found mention of this bug in a bug report for the Netbeans IDE and from the information present over there it seems that the blurred text issue should be solved with the latest version of JDK7 (later than 7u40 build b28). Could you please try updating the JDK and see if the issue is solved?
    I am really curious to know if the issue is fixed.
    Updating the JDK fixed the fuzzy rendering Unfortunately it's introduced a new problem where the UI font (not the code editor font) is too big.

    I bought my first  iMac 27" i5 in November 2011 last year.
    Do you think there would be a update that will Features a Retina Display, Siri etc ??
    So my iMac will be the same as the new one that will be released this year,
    Or will I have to buy a new iMac to get all these new updates ??
    It would be a shame if I did because my iMac is only 6months old if that ..
    Kind regards Simon Trott Apple user and proud of it

    We're not allowed to speculate on future or rumoured Apple products, but we all know there'll always be newer tech coming along.
    The iMac you have is an excellent machine, be happy with it and get a good few years use out of it. By the time your machine is slowing down, whatever comes next will have been updated numerous times.
    I had the 2011 i5 27" delivered about 3 weeks ago. It's a cracking machine

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop fails connecting to a 4k Laptop from a MacBook Pro Retina Display

    Hi there
    I'm struggling because I'm trying to use my MacBook Pro Retina display to connect to a Lenovo Laptop that has a higher resolution.
    The RDC simple does not work and when it does, the scale is too big to do something and gets disconnected in minutes... 
    Any hint?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It seems that MBP retina has high PPI resolution so that when accessing with normal MRD it will display blur or stretch the screen. Might due to that reason it can disconnect the screen also. For this you can try to use URI scheme where you can manually add
    the width and height for the screen and check result.
    You can check beneath article.

    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

    Neither Photoshop Elements nor Premiere Elements support the retina display capabilities. There are a couple of feature requests for support to be added to Photoshop Elements but I don't find any for Premiere elements. You might care to open one at http://feedback.photoshop.com.
