Office 2013 compatibility with BootCamp

Hi, I am fairly new to the community.  I recently purchased a IMAC and I have the capability of downloading either the compatible Office 2011 for MAC or Office 2013 and then I guess using Bootcamp to run on my IMAC.  I also want to purchase the Office Project program to use on MAC in bootcamp.  I am looking for a recommendation on whether or not I could should purchase the 2013 Office Suite and use via bootcamp (if that's even possible)... or just get the 2011 compatible version (I've used this in the past on my MacBook Pro with success). 
For someone who is not that saavy yet with MAC, how easy is it to use the BootCamp system and switch back and forth using the Office program?  Does anyone know if this is even possible with Office 2013?  I saw another thread on this but to be honest there was some bickering going back and forth and I couldn't understand the answer to the question.  Any help would be huge!

Ah! I feel you.
Well, bootcamp is fairly simple and automated but does require some extra steps you might not be willing to take... Also it is quite hard-drive taxing since it requires a partition.
(your harddrive is split between mac and windows)
Honestly, if you dont need windows for anything id just install office 2011, not much changes except some online things that you can substitute by using google drive or onedrive or any cloud service (even icloud).
Id say dont bother bootcamping... from what it sounds like (no offense, please) youre not THAT experienced. I mean this just as a point of fact, not as a derogatory statement.
Bootcamp installs basically look like this.
Nab a windows disk or iso
Plug in an 8gb+ usb
Run bootcamp assistant (straightforward)Pick how much harddrive real estate goes to windows (not less than 30gb please)
The installation should begin automatically
Itl ask for a product key, input that.
Then the "where do you want to install windows" screen will pop up.
Click the partition (itl be obvious what this is) called BOOTCAMP
Format it (also obvious, might be inside an options or advanced options folder depending on the windows version)
Wait.
Once it boots, bootcamp will pop up and will as you to click next (do so)
Then itl ask for a reboot (do so)
Thats it.
There are many ways to switch what operating system to boot into, one is holding alt on boot (im not going into detail so the rest youd have to ask me for)
Again, hope that helps.

  • Office 2013 installed with KB2817430, windowsupdate still finds KB2850036. difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036

    Hi,
    I've made a silent Office 2013 installer with /admin and put SP1 MSP's in the updates folder.
    After deployment under installed updates it shows: Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2817430) 32-Bit Edition
    But when I check for new updates, "ServicePack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2850036) 32-Bit Edition" is ready for download and install.
    What is the difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036?
    It seems that I cannot download KB2850036 and also integrate it in the silent installation.
    Another question: Is the updates folder from Office only for servicepacks? or can I put also updates and patches MSP files in here? If yes then i've got a lot of files with the same name and different files sizes. For example After extracting SP1 I've got
    the file "proofsp-en-us.msp" which is 10MB and when extracting another patch also i've got a proof-en-us.msp and is 8MB.
    So which one need to go in the updates folder?
    Can anyone help me out?
    thanks

    Hi,
    As can be seen from below KB articles, KB2817430 only contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Office 2013, whereas KB2850036 also contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) updates for other Office 2013 related desktop products. For example, Microsoft Office 2013
    Language Pack, Project 2013, SharePoint Designer 2013, Office Proofing Tools 2013, etc.:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2850036
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2817430
    So if you have any of these products on your computer, Windows Update might offer related updates to you.
    Regarding the Updates folder issue, you can put any Office software updates in it during the initial installation, such as service packs or hotfixes. A newer patch might make changes to a specific file, you can check the version number of that file, and keep
    the newer one in the folder.
    Here is the reference you will need:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/05/05/using-the-updates-folder-to-deploy-software-updates-with-an-office-2010-installation.aspx
    (Note, it was created against Office 2010, however the steps should hold good for Office 2013)

    Hi,
    It seems to be an Office related issue, I suggest asking the question in Office forums for help.

    Hi,
    As the log, MSGR2CZ.DLL and wwlib.dll were both of the Microsoft libraries,not the third-party libraries. Thus, we need to analysis what happened with the dump file. But, it is beyond what we can do in the forum. I recommend you open a ticket with Microsoft
    engineer.

  • What version of MicroSoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

    What version of Microsoft Office is compatable with Mavericks?

    Office 2004 will not run under Mavericks. If you are running Entourage, you will need to verify your data first. If you upgrade and try to import and it fails, it's difficult to recover your data. Both Entourage 2008 and Office 2011 will import a good Entourage 2004 Identity. Mail requires Entourage to be open to import so you should upgrade to Mail first if you plan on using Mail. Note: Office 2011 H&S version does not contain Outlook. You have to purchase H&B to get Outlook.
    While Office 2008 works there are a few quirks under Mavericks.
    Office 2008 apps open with new window after upgrading to Mavericks
    Office 2011 has features like Sync to Apple applications that no longer works because those features no longer exist in Mavericks.
    Sync Basics
    CalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 support CalDAV or CardDAV.
    Apple removed sync in Mavericks with iTunes.
    You can no longer sync with an iPhone or iPad via iTunes. You can only sync with an iPhone or iPad via a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google.
    You can no longer sync local calendars with OS X Calendar (formerly iCal). You can, however, continue to sync calendars hosted on a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google with Apple's Calendar.
    You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.
    If you want to stick with Outlook, I suggest you look at Office 365 if you need sync for contacts and calendars. Otherwise, moving to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar with iCloud might be a better option for you.
    Until Microsoft adds CalDAV and CardDAV support to Outlook, there is no way to sync other than get an Exchange account. It's $4/month Exchange Online.
    A new version of Office for Mac is scheuduled for release later this year or early next year. Speculation is it will be by subscription only. If you are considering purchasing Office 2011, I would check out this deal that would auto upgrade you to the newest version when it's released.
    Office 365 Home Premium 1yr Subscription Key Card
    Regular List Price:          $99.99  Price:          $67.15
    Licensed for one user to install on up to five devices. Box includes one Product Key Card - No Disc.

  • Installing Acrobat Standard 6.0 under Windows 8 & Microsoft Office 2013 - compatability issues

    In older Windows/Office versions, a PDF Printer was integrated into software, such as Word. this would allow you to print directly into Acrobat in PDF format.
    Under Windows 8 Office 2013 there seem to be compatability issues and I can not longer print to Acrobat.
    Are there any patches or solutions out there ??

    i'm a fan of doPDF:  www.dopdf.com
    which allows any app with print capabilities to print a pdf document.

  • App-V Office 2013 x64 with local x86 version

    Hi,
    we have deployed Office 2013 x86 VL Version on all our machines locally (MSI Install). Since App-V 5 SP2 now supports virtualising Office 2013 VLs we would like to run a virtualised Version of Office 2013 x64 VL (especially Excel) alongside the locally installed
    x86 Version. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    There won't be any limitations for the virtualized Excel's core features, but interaction with other applications (native Office, OS, other apps) may be limited as, well, a virtualized application is sort-of isolated to a certain extent.  Namely it
    may happen that you loos the tight integration between Office apps based on OLE objects. 
    (Copy & Paste an Excel spreadsheet into Word/Powerpoint - Double-click on the Word-Embedded Excel and get all your Excel menus and options back).
    'Simple' stuff (saving and loading files, copying simple data through clipboard) all will work. Users potentially won't be able to add new Excel Plugins and it might even be diffcult to do so for you.
    If the use-cases allows that you could consider running Excel_x64 on remote machines (VDI, RemoteDesktopServer).

  • Office 2004 compatibility with OS 10.6.3

    I just installed OS 10.6.3 on my MacBook running Office 2004. Word documents are now showing up as blank. Is Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard? Any ideas on this issues?

    Depends on where they are. If they are in your /Home/Library/Fonts/ folder and in the /System/Library/Fonts/ or /Library/Fonts/ folders then don't remove the ones in /System/Library/Fonts/. If they happen to be fonts located in an Applications Support folder then you can leave them alone. Those are only used by the specific application, for example, Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    Not all "duplicates" are true dups. For example, Times and Times Roman are different fonts although they will look identical. But Helvetica Neue could be a problem so you should remove it.
    Also, for docs that don't display anything be sure you do have the fonts installed that are used by the docs. Don't remove any standard font located in /System/Library/Fonts/.

  • Lync 2013 compatibility with Application sharing

    Just upgraded to Lync 2013, and I found a compatibility issue with StarTech Stream capture software when attepting to share the application in a meeting.  
    The Hardware device that Stream Capture uses is:
    www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/PCI-Express-HD-Video-Capture-Card-1080p-HDMI-DVI-VGA-Component~PEXHDCAP 
    The software can be downloaded: http://sgcdn.startech.com/005329/media/sets/Stream_Catcher/Capture_Software.zip 
    The issue I notice is when streaming just the program through Lync 2013.  The mouse pointer will disappear over any Lync screen.
    To duplicate the issue start a lync meeting, share the stream capture software.   Minimize the software, and wait 30 seconds so the app doesn't detect activity.   Then when you try to click on the "Stop Presenting" button within
    Lync   The mouse will disappear.   Also, noticed similar behavior with other parts of Lync. 
    The program works as expected when sharing the full desktop.  
    Upon contacting Startech support they said that the issue may be related to how Lync 2013 uses "Active Video Content".   Problem didn't occur in Lync 2010.
    I also tried updating to most recent video driver, disabled hardware acceleration but this did not help.
    Any configuration settings I can change in Lync 2013 to get around this behavior?

    Hi rainmakers,
    I suggest you consult Microsoft for dedicated support.
    You can click the “Give Feedback” button in the bottom-right of Lync 2013 to report the issue.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Office Mac Compatibility With Lion

    I'm trying to decide iWork vs Office for school and I have decided I need Office so the file will look the same for someone else. I was wondering if Office supported autosave and other lion features.
    Also I was wondering if anyone thinks iWork will work for me.

    Office for Mac does not yet support Autosaave & Versions,
    iWork will work but get used to saving then exporting the document to a format compatible with MS Office.
    Open Office will also open and save MS Office documents and is free.

  • Office 2007 compatibility with essbase 7.1.0

    Hi All,
    Recently our user group has been upgraded to Office 2007 from office 2003 and Present essbase version is 7.1.0.
    I think officialy there will be no compatility of excel 2007 with essbase 7.x versions.
    I have seen some posts that classic essbase client 9.3.1 supports with essbase 7.x versions, though oracle will not provide any support if there are any issues.
    can anybody have any ideas, that i can suggest to client.
    Regards,
    Stally.

    Hi,
    If you are using Excel 2007 please follow below instructions to set up the (Essbase client)Excel addin 7.x.
    After installing Essbase addin
    Go into Excel 2007 "Excel Options. and select Add-ins. Go to Excel Addin. Browse.
    You'll need to manually load 2 files.
    1: Browse and go to C:/Program Files/Office12/1033/Exptoows.xla OK (It will install into the add-in list.) This may install through the install wizard
    2: Browse and go to C:/Hyperion/Essbase/Bin/Essexcln.xll OK (It will install into the add-in list.)
    Now you can see Essbase tab when you open Excel...

  • Is MS Office 2001 compatable with intel Macs?

    I know Office 2004 works via Rosetta but will the older version work?

    I’m going to have to disagree with Peter. I believe Office v.X was the first version to run natively in OSX (I’m using it and it runs very well.)
    Office 2001 ran in classic and therefore is not compatible with intel machines- Not 100% sure but if I understand this correctly.... <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272642>
