Microsoft Office for Macbook Air

Hi
I purchased microsoft office for my iMac last year.  I have now bought my daughter a Macbook Air.  Can I put the same version on her Macbook?  If so, how do I do it? Or do I have to purchase it all again?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe that Migration Assistant will allow you to copy all your apps from the iMac to the new MBA. Try it - that's the best way to ensure your license information transfers properly so that Office won't complain.
You should also consider that there are alternatives to Office. Most are better and some are free. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are but two.

    Because there is no disc drive to install the program with, how do I go about installing the program?

    I assume you never read my reply;
    Download the Office trial copy at www.mactopia.com and run the installer. Enter your license code when prompted to activate the trial version.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in 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.
    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.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Microsoft Office for Mac Air

    I have microsoft office for mac for a previous mac pro but now since I have the air I cannot insert the CD. Do I have to purchase the Office program again? If not how can I install the program onto my new Air without having to purchase the new program online or the CD accesory for the Air.

    This works just as good and much less expensive. Apple uses LG in some of their recent iMacs:

  • How to install for free Microsoft Office on macbook air when already installed it on iMac ?

    I installed on my iMac at home Microsoft-Word for Mac (v. 14.3.6) and would like to also install it for free on my matchbook air. How do I do ? I also subscribed yesterday to Microsoft 365 subscription to use the new Office for iPad; will this help ?

    Since you subscribed to Office365 just log into your account at Microsoft and in the upper right hand corner select My Account. There you'll be able to download Office for your computer. You'll also want to go to Apple's App Store and download the OneDrive app to sync your documents to OneDrive so you can view/edit them on your iPad and keep your two computers synced.

  • Microsoft Office and MacBook Air

    Hello everyone,
    I have just bought a MacBook Air 13 inches (4GB) and I am about to install Microsoft Office. The problem is I remember that when I installed it on my MacBook Pro, the softwares would run very slowly and would always have bugs. Should I avoid installing Microsoft Office on my new MacBook Air ??
    Thanks for your help

    I do agree but was only mentioning Pages since that offers "some" sort of compatibility...this has always been a problem with word processors.  When I was actually using WordPerfect heavily, there was conversion capability for Word documents...well, that was a major overstatement...the conversion actaully only worked on plain text.  And that was sometimes garbbled.  Tables and equations, which I use heavily as an engineer, forget it.  Not possible.  And Excel and Quattro Pro conversion was a disaster.
    So I agree, before buying into a package, underestand the true capability of conversion to other formats.  And honestly assess your goals for compatibility with other products and your needs for those other products.  If you really want the features of a particular product, just buy that product and avoid conversion frustrations.
    Never tried LibreOffice, may have to try it just to see what it is like.

  • How to install Microsoft Office on MacBook Air?

    I just bought my first ever Apple MacBook and I am realy having hard time with it.
    Please someone tell me how to install the Microsoft Office 2011 on MacBook Air.
    Thank you so much!

    Just go to MS Office, download a free trial, enter the product key from the MS Office software that you purchased, and voila!  So easy!
    Does this solution work on different versions of software (in this case MS Office)?  I don't keep up with all the releases so the dates are probably wrong in the following examples.  Lets assume I owned MS Office 07 and I wanted to use your solution.  I assume the MS website DOESN'T offer free trials of outdated software.  So, I go on their website, download MS Office 2011 and then enter my product key from MS Office 2007.  Are you saying that will work?
    Personally for me, I don't give two hoots about getting the latest MS Office. So, if I have a working copy of an earlier edition, that's the one I want to install.  And yes, for you NO-NO people, I do remove the software from my previous computers when I do this before I sell them. 
    Even if I could upgrade my previous version, I wouldn't want to as it would be a waste of my time during the learning curve.  In fact I'm paying this penalty now in that I'm using MS Office 08 that my wife bought (3 computer version) and insisted I put on my computer to help her on her's.  I was using MS Office 03 and hate the 08 pull down menus.  Since I use the program infrequently, I find myself staggering around trying to find this and that when with the '03 version, it would be simply click and done.

  • What is the best site to get microsoft word for macbook air?

    new macbook owner I bought the pages app but I still need my microsoft word ?? I saw a few places to download but they did not mention what is compatible with the macbook.

    Cheap, but with some risk: Ebay
    Inexpensive, no risk: Staples, Best Buy, Office Depot or Office Max. (one of them seems to always be running a sale on Office for Mac Home and Student for $99.00.
    You can always try Amazon, too.
    Remember: Even if you buy the DVD at a store, you can still download afterwards from Microsoft, and then just use the Key that comes with the box purchase of Office you bought. That way, you don't have to worry about finding a means of using that DVD with yoru MBA.

  • Microsoft Office for Macbook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8

    I just bought a refurbished macbook pro version 10.6.8, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions concerning which version of microsoft office should I download? Thanks in advance!

    There is only one: Office 2011 for OS X.
    A free alternative to Office is Libre Office. It is about 95% compatible.

  • Microsoft Office on Macbook Air

    How am I supposed to install Microsoft Office on my Macbook Air? I heard that it was in CD form but Macbook Airs dont have the CD slot... please help!!!

    It might be a good idea to learn a bit more about your new computer - like how to share the optical drive of another computer. If you don't have another computer handy you might consider buying an inexpensive external optical drive. Or, become familiar with software vendors' download sites. Go to Microsoft's Mac page and download the appropriate package. If you've already bought the DVD be sure to download the file that matches what you bought. You can then use the serial number that came with the box. Another option is to put the DVD into another computer and drag the installer onto a flash drive (this is my favorite solution since it is usually faster than downloading a large program.)
