Office for Mac Trial - upgrade to full version?

If I download a Office for Mac Trial, can I upgrade to the full version by simply purchasing online and entering a serial number to activate right there and then? (Without waiting for the box to arrive?)

Yes.

  • Need hard drive space.  How can I uninstall an earlier version of MS Office for Mac without affecting the latest version?

    My excellent, but old Mac Book Pro only has a 160 GB hard drive.  I've only got 6 GB remaining.  I know I have multiple copies of MS Office for Mac installed and only need the latest.  is there an uninstaller I can use to get rid of the early versions?  Any potential issues if I do that?  I use a 1TB drive for Time Machine back ups. 
    Thank you.

    OWC www.macsales.com can help you upgrade your hard drive to SSD or larger hdd, and I would clone your system to another external as well as with TimeMachine.

  • HT1148 Office for Mac 2011 upgrade

    How do I direct the Office for Mac 2011 service pack 2 where to find the program which isn't installed in the applications folder?

    Hi,
    For exerything to work correctly, I would put the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder. But there might be an option in the installer to select a different  destination for the update if you have the Office 2011 folder located somewhere else.
    Next, open Word and go to the help menu and come down to Check for Updates and follow the setps to download the latest update.
    Hope this helps.

  • G5 and Micorsoft Office for Mac 2011 upgrade

    The new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 system requirements state that my computer must have "HFS+ hard disk format (also known as Mac OS Extended or HFS Plus)." How do I know if my 2004 G5 has this? Thanks!

    Office 2011 requires "A Mac computer with an Intel processor" and your G5 only has a PowerPC processor.

    Here is a very easy possible solution, worth trying before uninstalling Office. It worked for us so hopefully might work for you.
    We installed Yosemite on a test machine to check for problems. Office 2011 for Mac ran and still does run fine on that machine with Yosemite.
    As a result we installed Yosemite on our main machines. At the same time we updated Office for Mac 2011 using the latest update 14.4.7. It was at this point that Office started crashing every time a document was opened.
    Solution that worked for us.
    1 Using Font Book (comes with your Mac) we removed all duplicate fonts. We selected the automatically remove option.
    2 Restart computer.
    3 Shut down computer.
    4 Restart computer in 'safe boot' to do this:
    a) Shut down the computer.
    b) Press the power button.
    c) Immediately after hearing start-up tone, hold down SHIFT key.
    d) Release SHIFT key after Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
    e) Once computer has opened, restart the computer without holding down any keys.
    5 Hopefully all should be ok now. Your machine might run a little slow for a while as it rebuilds caches etc but all ours were back at full speed after a few minutes.
    Best Wishes

  • I was having problems with a 7-month old version of office for mac 2011, so I completely removed it from my computer. How do I reinstall it?

    Office for Mac 2011 worked fine until yesterday, then I started having problems. I know I completely deleted the trial version, so please do not suggest that as the cause. I also know that I bought a legitimate full version online from the Microsoft store 7 months ago, and I still have the product key. But since I don't have any trace of Office on my Mac anymore, how do I reinstall it? I tried looking on the Microsoft website, but it wasn't helpful. The only other thing I can do is contact Microsoft customer support, which will probably take forever. So, to respond to this post, please: do not mention trial versions for Office, do not mention Microsoft website. I tried posting another question on this topic, but the people who replied did not seem to understand that their suggestions were not relevant.

    I see you had another post for this same issue where you clearly explained your problem.  There were important details in your other thread that would have helped us in assisting you.  You started this new thread, understandably frustrated.  None of us are mind readers.  You started right off telling us not to mention the only two things that would resolve the problem you had mentioned here which was simply that you had uninstalled office and you were trying to reinstall it.  Reading your other thread, it's clear why you made that comment.  It's generally not a good idea to open multiple threads for the same issue as anyone reading this thread would have no idea what steps you have already taken and what suggestions have already been made.

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Upgraded Office for Mac 2011 to 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync with iCal and Contacts

    I have upgraded my iMac to Microsolf Office 2011 version 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync the calender contents and contacts to iCal and Address Book. Prior to the installation of 14.1.4 all worked well. Discovered the problem when I sync'ed my iPad and the addresses and calendar went missing. New entries to the calendar will sync. Help.

    Office is not an Apple product. You are much more likely to find a resultion in the MS forums:

  • Where to purchase Office for Mac 2008 nonEWS version?

    I'm planning my upgrade to Lion. I need the non-Web Services Edition of Office for Mac 2008 so that I can connect to my employer's MS Exchange Server 2003 via Entourage 2008.
    I can only find the Web Services Edition on Microsoft's website- but that won't work for me.
    My understanding is that I need Office for Mac 2008 version 13.3 or earlier. When I shop online, the products offered do not specify the version they are selling.
    Does anybody know a sure-fire way or place to get the right version?
    thanks.

    I have Outlook 2011 and was unable to get it to work with the Exchange 2003. Does this mean they do not have IMAP enabled? When I asked the IT people they said that as far as they knew Outlook 2011 would not work with Exchange 2003.  I didn't know enough to ask about IMAP.
    1. How do I determine if IMAP is turned on?
    A. Ask the IT people if IMAP is enabled for your Exchange Server setup. I'm pretty sure it's *not* enabled by default. They had to turn it on for me earlier for a system I manage that only works with IMAP; so I knew in advance with setting up Outlook 2011 that it was on for me
    B. You can always just go for it in Outlook 2011.
    - Launch "Preferences"
    - Click Accounts
    - Click the "+" in the bottom corner to add another account, and select "E-mail" (do *not* select Exchange)
    - Fill in "Email address" and the sheet will expand
    - Note the "Type" field -- make sure "IMAP" is selected.
    You may need to talk to the IT people if you don't know the servers and their ports for those other settings. But that's basically the way you way to setup an IMAP account.
    Try this on site not over VPN to make sure it works. I ran into problems with email and other company systems with VPN because I wasn't going through the company's DNS server for my traffic. It's enough to test with OWA with VPN; if you can't connect with name of the server but you can with the IP, then you're not going through the company's DNS.
    In Snow Leopard, I believe it was enough in the Network settings to move the VPN higher up in the protocal order, e.g. VPN, Airport, Ethernet. A more stable way is to add the email server and its IP to your hosts file (etc/hosts).
    I had heard about Davmail, but was intimidated by it. 2. You say DavMail allows you to get email into other clients- will it do this once I update to Lion?
    3. On the DavMail website link it shows instructions to set-up for IMAP, but what if I don't have IMAP?
    If I have to use OWA to get email into another client, how would I go about that?
    Thanks for your help.
    DavMail is a little more involved in terms of setup compared to just using Outlook (or even Mail) with IMAP. The most pain free way is to convince/get the IT people in your company to turn on IMAP for you.
    If they don't, then you might consider DavMail.
    See if this helps explain what's going on with DavMail. DavMail basically is "interfacing" between Outlook Web Access  and your email client. DavMail will go through OWA to your (exchange) mailbox, and (here's the important part) function as your personal IMAP server on your computer. The mail clients like Outlook and Mail, or whatever you want, will then be configured for the DavMail email server, not the Exchange server at the end of chain.
    So if the IT people refuse to turn on IMAP for you -- it can happen -- then you can bypass the limitation with DavMail as long as OWA is turned on.

  • Scroll function in MS Word, version 2011 Office for Mac

    Updated to OS X Yosemite, and the ability to scroll line by line thru the document is no longer working.  I can move thru the document using the sliding bar on the side, but difficult to get to when more than one file is open.  Have tried closing program, shutting down and reboot, searched help, checked many different documents, also created new document - cannot find a way to turn this option back on. Is there one?

    thank you all for your replies.  this sounds like the community threads i saw about Outlook and Maverick earlier this year and last year.  Some folks loved it---no problems--while others hate the upgrade with Outlook because it's major time killing problem city.  I'm guessing there are variables at play here---like what your hardware is (macbook, imac, macair) and the year of your hardware.  And knowing MSFT, i'm guessing that there are variables there too (DVD, online office 365 subscription, and which year the software for either was created.  i have been down this road before with Apple and MSFT---two different tribes that do their best not to get along as much as they should. 
    we really need forensics on everyone's hardware, software, year of each, and source of software (DVD or online) before we could spot a pattern as to what works and what is going to be a problem.  It would have to be this community that solves it because i know from experience MSFT won't be much help…..and even Apple's support folks do not like trying to solve problems involving MSFT software. 
    so net net---please post another round letting us know your hardware and year, and your Office for Mac 2011 software version and year. also, if you do solve a problem, please let us know too.  thanks everyone

  • Microsoft Office for Mac Version X on OSX 10.3.9

    Hi,
    We have been running Microsoft Office for Mac Version X on OSX for quite awhile
    Through the start of OSX up to our current OS System Panther 10.3.9. On two
    computers, and primarily in Word the Application has been quitting with
    no specific error message (that I know of) I have the M.O. same version on my Mac
    but I do not use it that often, One computer is a Imac and the other a eMac.
    I am wondering if I should do a clean install of the program, but I would imagine
    I /we would lose any previously created documents or programs created whether
    in Word, Power Point or Excel etc. I do back up all of our computers (on computer
    specific back up drives) so the documents would be there. I guess what I am
    trying to say is I think the program has become corrupted. I have run Disk
    Warrior, Apple Jack, repaired permissions, yet it persists..??
    Any input, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I have had MS office installed and used hitch-free for many years now. Yesterday, for the first time i developed a problem. When I click on any EXCEL file, it will either (a) not open at all, or (b) it will open in a small window - perhaps 20% of the full-window size and it will NOT allow me to resize or scroll. (This means I cannot see the full contents of my file.)
    The other problem is that, MS word documents sometimes open and sometimes dont, but I cannot open them in 'Normal" view
    As an observation which may or may not have anything to do with these issues, when i minimize active applications to the dock the icons are tiny, much smaller than they ever used to be.
    Has anyone else had these symptoms? I am beginning to suspect I've been infected with some type of virus.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks
