Microsoft Office when using OS X 10.7 or higher??

Are there any apps that work well so I can work from home using Microsoft office from my work?

Unfortunate indeed, Word and Excel are not a problem but there is no equivalent to Publisher on Mac (not on Windows either, except for Publisher itself) and I know of no other program that can open a Publisher file. If you have to use Publisher you are going to need Windows.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

Am I able to use Microsoft Office when i switch users on my Macbook Air? I can find the applications, Excel Word etc, but when I try to open them it keeps taking me to a software update for Microsoft Office. Any tips on what to do???

I use 2 accounts, one for work and one for personal.
I have Microsoft Office, in my applications, and I can find it in my work user account, but when I try to open it, it keeps doing start up for Auto updates. and wont open the application. It works fine in my personal (Admin) account which is where I did migration when I bought the laptop. And I've looked on here for similar problems, and everyone says if it's in your applications it should work, but I can't open mine.
Anyone know what I can do?

Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
It looks like this:
check the button for manual updates.
That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

Uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 using Invoke-TroubleshootingPack

Hi,
I'm deploying an uninstallation package to uninstall Office 2013 using the ingenious Microsoft Fix it (located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us)
called O15CTRRemove.
When running it manually, it removes everything that is related to Microsoft Office 2013 and I am able to install a new Office 2013 without any problems (changing from Office 365 to VL).
The problem is as follows:
I need to do this silently on a lot of computers using a deployment tool. I figured out how to use powershell and I'm doing it in the following way:
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
I created the Answerfile DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml in the following way (according tohttp://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/02/09/use-powershell-troubleshooting-packs-to-diagnose-remote-problems.aspx):
Get-TroubleshootingPack "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove" -answerfile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml"
It looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Answers Version="1.0" />
When I run the script it works but for some reason, it doesn't work when I run it as system (my deployment tool runs the script as system, and I've tried it manually like this):
psexec -i -s cmd
cmd /C powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\Uninstall_Office2013.ps1"
It just hangs and I can see in eventviewer that it has run a few troubleshooting packs, that the uninstall of Office is complete but it doesn't continue until I force kill sdiagnhost.exe.
If I run the script after killing sdiagnhost.exe, it finishes without a problem.
I have temporarily solved it like this (I run the same job twice, to be sure everything is removed and the second one finishes quickly while the first hangs until the timeout):
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
Get-Job | Receive-Job
Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
Get-Job | Receive-Job
Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
I am thinking that there is some kind of dialogue questions that I need to get into the answer file, but I have no idea how to do it.
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Simon

Credit goes to MS for core script (its to long to post here).
Credit goes to the guy who wrote the cleaner script. Whoever packaged it and didn't build in silent switches gets zero points.
Please note that this will only work for C2R installs of Office 2013.
This is not true. There are scrub scripts specific to C2R as well as MSI.
I extracted the scrub vbs from O15CTRRemove.diagcab
This is what worked for me. Use 7-zip to extract the entire package to a directory. Then run "OffScrub_015msi.vbs all".

Discrepancies between iwork and microsoft office when viewing

i have saved a document created on iwork as a microsoft word document. However, when opened from microsoft office, the document appears differently - the layout has been changed. Specifically, the content from page one on the iwork file spreads onto page two of the work file, if that makes sense. Is there a way to prevent this? It isn't ideal as it messes up the flow of the document and makes it look messy. Thanks

Even if you maintained exactly the same version of all the fonts which is as close as you are going to get, the difference in rendering engines will mean things will move and some features will not transfer at all.
Correct, of course.
Interestingly, for the poor folks who have produced Microsoft OpenType fonts for OpenType line layout, the problem is that Microsoft Word customers expect to use Microsoft Word as appearance format. This means not only that the font must be enabled for editable embedding, but that as well the simple CMAP Character Map shaping as the supplementary GSUB Glyph Substitution shaping must be communicated so that the measure of the line does not change when one user enables ligation and passes that Word file to another user.
The future for fonts is that full embedding is enforced in appearance-oriented page description models such as PDFXML and XPS, just as tagging of source character strings in the universal character set using unique markers for writing systems is enforced in these models. This direction in development will only work if the direction of demand is changed by education of everyday endusers with regard to replacing the broken Bics on the market with Montblancs -:).

After migration to new iMac - problems with Microsoft office 2008 using multiple users

I migrated my data from my old Imac to my new Imac. On the new Imac I created multiple logins for my kids. My microsoft office 2008 programs will not open. I keep getting the "Customer Experience Improvement Program" screen which cycles through, checks for update then closes never allowowing me to access the program. Please help!!

Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

Uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 using intune

Has anyone successfully uninstalled Office 2010 using Intune to push the command?
I just upgraded all users to 2013 but would like to remove the old office.
Thanks
Ivan Nix

I know this is very old but I’m trying to clean up old posts. Did you ever solve this? If so it would be good if you could post the solution to assist others. If not, at this
stage, as nobody has answered, I would recommend that you call Intune support if the issue still exists.
You will find your local Intune support number here

Deploying Microsoft Office Preferences using ARD

I've been working on deploying MS Office to a lab of iMacs. Mactopia has a really vague explanation of how to deploy preferences using ARD. I've gone through and created several packages that contain the necessary files and folders, permissions set, etc, but don't know how to run the package each time a new user logs into a machine.
Our machines are bound to AD, running MS Office 2008, 10.6, ARD 3.3 and Faronics DeepFreeze.
I've gone through and configured http://www.entourage.mvps.org/exchange/exchangesetupv3.html for Entourage as well as collected the necessary files each user will be designated to use.
So my question is, how to I get my MS Office preferences and Microsoft User Data files deployed for each user that logs in? The package files will deploy to ~/Documents and ~/Library/Preferences.
Please help!! I'm going to lose my mind!!

Solution manager requires Microsoft office products use language ENGLISH

In config guide for Solman SP6 section 3.1.2, there is a requirement that MS office products must have language setting EN.
Many of our customers use their own MS Office products with other language settings than EN.
Is this really a requirement or what happens if any user does not have language setting EN active in her/his MS office product? Which services in SolMan does not work anymore?
br: Kimmo

Solution manager language is english and in SAP business solution system (ERP2005) language is Finnish (=Finland). English and Finnish are in same code page. Customization in ERP should be created in Finnish language.
Is there some limitations if languages are different or why did you asked?
Regarding problems in config guide creation, macros in MS products are language dependent? like methodnames macro_execute() (EN) vs. macro_ausfuehren() (DE)? And if current language in MS product is other than EN, the macros used in config guide don't work?

I have several keynote presentations on my computer but now am getting the message that the program cannot be installed "because of a problem." All this started when I bought microsoft office for University (2011). What is the problem and how can I fix

I have several keynote presentations on my newish computer but am not unable to open them. I get the message "keynote cannot be installed because of a problem" (unspecified). Does anybody know why this happend? Does it related to using Microsoft "University" 2011? How can I fix it? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
I just tried the 3-step process suggested on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431353
This all started when my mouse/thumb clicker was going crazy. Found an expanded battery. Obviously need a new battery. Unfortunately must wait 6 weeks to get my new battery. Meanwhile, I'm running my computer on AC only, as there appears to be no other option. I was informed that when using AC only (no battery) some high-energy-use programs like Office might not function.
Do you know if there is away to use office even when just using AC and not having the battery in? I'm doubting if I have other OSX problems because everything else works: email, safari, itunes, iphoto, quicktime, etc . . . . ?
ciao,

Incorect product key using in Microsoft Office

I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Premium installed.
However whenever I try to verify my product key to go on Microsoft Office its saying its incorrect but its on the bottom of my laptop and I have checked it countless times.
Does anyone no what is wrong? Is there another product key in the manual?

Hello guys
Preinstalled office is a trial version. Make connection to the Internet and start Office. As you can see on the shortcut name it is 60 days trial version only.
On the first page you can see follow:
*CLICK HERE TO REQUEST YOUR ACTIVATION KEY ONLINE*
Click on step 1 and you will get the key. Click on step 2 and when Office starts enter key you got in step 1. Thats all!
If you want to *BUY* Microsoft Office and use it as *FULL* version choose second option (the right tab) in this activation assistant.
Is everything clear now? ;)

How to add text vertically into a Word margin with C# (using namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word)

I need to add text vertically in a word document outside the margins. How can I do this with Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and C#?
Leonard Swarczinski Software Developer Postal Center International

Hi Leonard,
According to your description, do you want to add text vertically into Page Header/Footer? I wrote a sample for you.
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace AddTextToWord
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
CreateNewDocument();
Console.ReadLine();
private static void CreateNewDocument()
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application oWord;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oDoc;
oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
String HeaderText = "Hello everyone!";
WdParagraphAlignment wdAlign = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
AddHeader1(oWord, HeaderText, wdAlign);
private static void AddHeader1(Application WordApp, string HeaderText, WdParagraphAlignment wdAlign)
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = WdViewType.wdOutlineView;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekPrimaryHeader;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Shape textBox = WordApp.ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationVertical, 150, 10, 40, 40);
textBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = HeaderText;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument;

HT1692 Sync multiple Ical calendarsvone way to microsoft office outlook

I would like to sync multiple ical calendars one way to microsoft office outlook

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.
