MICROSOFT WORD EXCEL

I have never used a PC and I am currently looking for a job. All of the help wanted ads want you to have Microsoft word and Excel background. Would I be able to run these programs on my Mac so that I could become familiar with them? If so, where could I find them on a tight budget? All help is so appreciated. Thanks.

I would try to run these programs at your local library or university.
Once you've learned how of to use a wordprocessor or spreadsheet program, the concepts are all the same and is not too hard to move to a new one. I would learn how to use these types of programs then go to a library and try out the Microsoft version. There are also books in the library that tell you how to use these programs.
The popular productivity application OpenOffice.org is available for Mac OSX.

NeoOffice is a full-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database programs) for Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

    Most versions of Office 2008 use an Universal installer. A few have one which is PowerPC-only.
    In any case, Mac OS X Server 10.6 can be run in emulation, and Rosetta applications can be run in it. Saying that PowerPC-only applications won't run in Mac OS X 10.7 is correct. Saying that they won't run on a Mac which shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 is not.

  • Will iWork open Microsoft Word & Excel documents ?

    Do I need to install Microsoft Word & Excel or Apple iWork to open documents that are emailed in Word & Excel ? I am going to run Windows XP Pro on this machine.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    Apples iWork or better said Pages can open Word documents and Numbers can open Excel documents.
    But iWork is only avaiable for Mac OSX, not for Windows.
    When running Windows you either need the MS Office package (or MS Word and MS Excel as standalone programs) or you can use the free OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/
    OpenOffice is also avaiable for Mac OSX.

  • I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
    Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
    Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

  • Microsoft Word & Excel Version X

    Hi,
    I have version X of Microsoft Word & Excel, if it is already installed on my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) will it still work if I upgrade to Lion?
    I have heard it will, but wanted to get other opinions/experiences, because before I upgrade I need to make sure as alot of the time I need word etc.
    Many thanks

    What version of Office? Office 2004 and earlier won't run on Lion.

  • App to Edit Microsoft word, excel

    Hi their,
    I want a great app to edit Microsoft word & excel files. If possible it should also be able to retrieve files from my email attachments that i receive or send. I really need an app as I already have the iPhone with other brilliant apps, but still lack this feature. I am also doing this for my father who is looking for ward to buy the iPhone instead of other business devices.
    Please do answer me..............

    QuickOffice's MobileFiles Pro was released last week, which currently allows editing of excel spreadsheets, word doc editing is coming in a future update (I don't know when exactly). It also allows viewing of all the usual office, iwork, PDF, image files etc. as well as playback of audio/video files. You can access your MobileMe iDisk with the app, and download files to the iPhone's local storage, as well as uploading xls files you have created/edited locally with the app. If you don't use MobileMe, the app has the ability of transferring files over your wifi network.
    I've got it and highly recommend it. What it does, it does very well, however there are features I'd like to see added, like cut/copy/paste of cells, ability to email files as attachments, fast-scrolling/bookmarking in large PDFs/docs, word doc & ppt file editing/creation.
    QuickOffice have been in the game for a long time with native apps on Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian & BlackBerry, so I'd expect the app to get better and better over time.
    Here's the link to the app:

  • I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
    Mavericks System requirements.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
    Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
    You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
    Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

  • I thought apple is user friendly. That is why I bought it. I do not have a use to download my boot camp assistant for a compatible to microsoft words, excel, powerpoint. They told me I have iWork's for all of this products but mine is not working.

    To whom it may concern.
    I bought an apple product which is MacBook Air about 7 mths. ago . Anyway I would like to download a compatible words, excel, powerpoint. they told me that I do not need it since IWORKS is all I needed. I tried my keynote , numbers does not worked. Somebody emailed me sending me this mumbo jumbo for it to work. Well, if I was a computer wiz, I probably will not be asking for help.
    I followed the tutorials for windows for mac, followed every instructions, hold and behold another problem. I have to have a usb, when I bought this at Best Buy, I asked them what do I need , they said that I do not need anything else because it is all in there. So to make a long story short. I am just so frustrated .
    How can I download the windows for mac, I know I have to start in utilities , boot camp assistant, then the usb problem. Please I need help, it is much needed for my job. Ipages does not saved anything, I mean nothing it just disappeared , and you do not have any idea how much I have the long hrs. I have put in.
    Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate this .

    You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
    Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

  • Just Updated to 10.9.5 Now iPhoto 8.1.2 Won't Open-Microsoft Word & Excel Won't Open

    I have a MacBook Pro now running 10.9.5
    I updated last night to the 10.9.5 version and after doing so my iLife applications stop working: iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand
    My Microsoft Word and Excel stop working as well.
    Every time i try to open these applications i get error and they just won't open.
    " iPhoto quit unexpectedly wile using the iPhoto plug-in"
    I get this same message for all my applications.
    I tried getting help from Apple and all they really told me was that I may need to update to my iPhoto by paying $15 bucks.
    I'm upset that my applications have all failed me only after updating to new 10.9.5
    This update was done at 10:30PM, all day my Microsoft Apps and iPhoto app were working fine and now I'm out of luck?

    iLife 11 is only available thru 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com or eBay.com.  That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters:
    1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1 - you may be able to go from here directly to 9.4.3
    2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
    3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
    4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
    5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

  • How do I get access to my microsoft word, excel etc? Is lion not compatible with word, if so it you be mentioned prior to someone purchasing.

    Have installed Lion, but Lion says it will not support microsoft office programs words.  Is this a major glitch with Lion?  I cannot believe Apple would create a operation system not conducive to running word, excell etc.!!!  Anyone know what the fix is?

    There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.

  • Need a suitable app for Microsoft word, excel

    Need a suitable app for Microsoft word. Can you guys please help me out with a good app to use for access word, power point and excel? Greatly appreciate it.

    There is no such animal as Office Pro 2010 for a Mac. There is either Office 2008 or 2011. Both only run on a Mac computer, not on an iPad.
    What I know is that what I referred to you works on an iPad. They can read and edit Office files. Whether you will find they meet your standards I cannot say.

  • Microsoft WORD & Excel not working on new iMac

    I had the MS suite of WORD, Excel and PowerPoint installed on my new iMac OS 10.8.3 by a legitimate programmer w/a totally legal license.  Neither WORD nor Excel will load up.  I get a variety of error messages (i.e. invalid file name, cannot open global template). Power Point works fine.!!!!
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing with no luck. 
    Any thoughts?

    Unless you used this method to uninstall you may not have correctly uninstalled Office. Do it again using the manufacturers method, Then reinstall.
