Problems Downloading Office Mac 2011

Just purchased and downloaded office mac. I have downloaded it but it only appears as a document file and will only open with TextEdit. How do I fully install it?

Can you tell what the name of the file that you downloaded is? (specifically the type of file it is would be good to know)
How big is that file?
You say that when you double-click it, TextEdit opens. What does it display? Gabrled text/symbols? Or is it text you can actually read?

    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).

  • Trouble installing Office Mac 2011

    I am trying to download Office:Mac 2011 on my new MacBook Pro but keep getting pop up which says it cannot continue with the installation as Safari is open. We have disconnected from the internet but it still keeps telling me the same message. I have tried starting again etc but no joy. Please can someone help?

    As Office is not an Apple product, you may get better help by posting this question in the Microsoft Office for Mac forums here:
    http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/
    Also, I did not know there is a downloadable Office for Mac source. Are you trying to get it from the Microsoft site or someplace else. If the later, it could be a pirated copy and potentially contain malware.

    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.

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    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:

  • Microsoft Office:mac 2011 want work with my script made in Microsoft Windows. May  be there is a file Problem.

    Hello!
    Two years ago i made a script with a microsoft windows PC, using "Office Word".
    Last year i changed my Hardware into apple Mac ,using Yosemite 10.10.3.
    To work on with my script with apple i use Microsoft Office:mac 2011 Home and Student, but it want work. It is deeply frozen and very very slow. Mouse is not working normally. Pages are scrolling automatically. There is a Problem in kompatilibility between the file of my script (written by using a microsoft PC) and the apple computer e.g. Office:mac.
    Someone who can help?
    Ev

    Apple support is not an expert source for Microsoft scripts, if Microsoft can't figure out their own software you'll just have to wait until someone who has had, and cured the issue.
    Sorry.

  • Problem with mountain lion and microsoft office:Mac 2011

    I've just migrated all my files, applications from an imac with lion to a new imac with mountain lion. When I started up Word I had a request to put in my product key which I did successfully.

  • Office:mac 2011 home and business

    I am using Office:mac 2011 on my new mac and just after I updated to the new operating system OS X Yosemite version 10.10, my Outlook account has started to add mailboxes to some of my email accounts. e.g.. INBOX 1-INBOX 11-INBOX 111 and it just keeps going
    adding more ones after each inbox. It has moved accounts and some emails are just not there anymore. Is it an incompatibility problem with the new operating system?
    thank you net56

  • 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 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?

    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.
