Office:mac 2011

I just bought an iMac and when I tried to open MS Word for the first time, it asked for a product key to activate online. I understood this program to come with the computer, but I don't have the product key anywhere. What solution do you suggest?

Office doesn't come preinstalled. If you have the Microsoft Office box, the product key is there. If you haven't got the box, buy Office > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

How do install Office: Mac 2011? I am getting an error message when I go to the page...

trying to install microsoft office: mac 2011 home and student. i am directed to a page and when i click on the link I get an error message about security. i don't have the option anywhere of entering the product key. not sure what to do.

You need to download the installer from Microsoft after you purchase it. Then you will have to run that application and it will request the product key as it goes thru the motions of setting up the product.
If you're trying to download an illegal version for free, that will explain the security message. The browser would be trying to protect you from yourself.

I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
Thanks Dave

Hello Dave,
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
From Microsoft's site:
How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
7. Click Download Now to start the download.
8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

Retina display for office mac 2011

I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro with Retina Display. When I hook up an external montitor Microsoft Office Excel is blurry as is Word.
Mac Book Pro screen, same thing. Does Office Mac 2011 upgrade really fix the problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Office 2011 needs an update to be compatible with Retina display. Install the most recent version from the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads Or open an Office app, and go to Help menu (on the menu bar) > Check for Updates. Run it twice

Why can't I open a PDF in Word? I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011

Why can't I open a PDF document in Word. I have Microsoft Office:Mac 2011 installed because I have to email PDF and word documents to my clients. Please help.
I currently have been viewing them in Preview. Is that the only way?

Word is a text processor, not a PDF viewer. You can embed a PDF document in a Word document, but that's pretty much it. Besides Preview there are numerous third-party applications that can also view PDFs such as Adobe Reader.

Hi SDP1,
Do you use Outlook or Entourage? If so, that's where all of your emails are stored. If you don't use either of those applications I'd go digging through the folders and see where all the space is tied up. Check the Identifies folders, that's probably where everything is located.

I bought Office:Mac 2011 (English version), can I change to Chinese version

I bought iMac with Office:Mac 2011 (student edition) in HK on-line shop. But the office is English version and cannot perform spell check for Chinese characters. When I used those past files, it can't be edited because the Chinese is missing in the software. What can I do if I want to exchange the office back to Chinese version?

You will have to contact the place where you bought it directly.
You are not talking to Apple here or to any representative of any Apple store or reseller, just other users like yourself.

Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.

Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.
I want to use Japanese, English, and Chinese on Office word/excel.
When downloading Office Mac, which language should I choose?
Or it does not matter which language to choose when downloading??
Thank you for your help!
Sorry that I am not really good at computer. This is my first time to set up my computer from zero..

You should choose the language you want to have the menus and dialogues appear in. That has nothing to do with typing different languages, you can always do that no matter what language your app is in. (Except you should note that Word for Mac does not support typing in RTL or Indic scripts).
For questions about Office, best use the forums run by the people who make it

MS Office Mac 2011 CD Wont Run

HI,
When i insert the installation CD for MS Office Mac 2011, the CD drive runs-stops-runs-stops etc and eventually spits back out the CD; why won't it read launch the disk properly?
The CD drive works as other CDs are read correctly and without issue.
Tks,

Sounds like it might be an issue with the DVD itself. Try giving it a clean by wiping it down with a lint-free cloth.

While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while. If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:
