Product Key for Microsoft Word is not working

I just recently purchased Microsoft word 2011 for my new Macintosh and the product key that you e-mailed me keeps showing up as invalid? What should I do?

Product key for volume license does not work

Hi,
My organization has a MS volume license and I want to install MS Office 2010 Standard SP1 32bit on another computer. I downloaded the software, installed it and then went as instructed to the start menu to launch the program and received a window asking
to enter a Product Key. I enter the key and then receive a message saying it is not a valid office product key. MS phone help confirmed that it is a valid key but then said they would need to charge over $200 to resolve the problem, more than the cost a new
license.
Thanks,
Kevin

MS Office Standard is a Volume Licensing product - VL products do NOT prompt for a product key.
You can't download VL products from the public internet - only download via the VL customer logon portal (VLSC).
You can't convert a Retail Office product into a VL product.
You will need to obtain the installation source files/media/disc, from the licensing contact/controller in your organisation. (who will obtain it from the VLSC)
If you are the VLSC licensing contact/controller for your organisation, you have downloaded the wrong product.

I need my product key for microsoft word

i need my product key so that i can activate and use my micro soft word document.

It should be on the box that in which your recieved the software.

My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick

my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

New computer.. Product key for Microsoft Office?

I recently purchase a new notebook assuming Microsoft Office would be installed and ready to use. It is installed but asks for a product key to use. I did not receive a product key with any of the paper work for the computer. Is this program not included already, or do I need to buy the program?

There is no such thing as a trial anymore so that is incorrect. IT has Word started on it which allows you to use basic functions of word and excel. You don't get an actual code as it is just the basic use of it, not like a full version.

Why is my Microsoft Word document not working correctly with Pages

I have created a new CV (Resume) in Microsoft Word on my work computer, it is using the latest version of Office. When I attempted to open the document in Pages on my home Mac, the formatting was slightly incorrect, but the main issue is it is missing two pages! The exact same document when opened in Word has three pages but in Pages, it only has one! I have had nothing but problems with Pages since I bought it! Can someone please help me get Pages to work correctly with my documents that are created in Word! Than you.

Pages does not allow a single cell in a table to span more than a page and there may be other problems that you also have not told us about.
Redo your CV using the excellent Pages templates, Word's templates are Uuuugly!
Being text based, with good typographical layout, those Pages templates should translate accurately back and forth from Pages to Word.
Frankly CVs don't require anything fancy. You could do an excellent, well laid out and very attractive CV in TextEdit which is no slouch in the word processing department.
Peter
PS Start off by saving your Word CV to .rtf or .txt which will strip off most of the bad formatting. Then reopen it in Pages or drag in the snippets of text into a Pages CV template's placeholders to automatically format the text nicely.

Where can I find the product key for Microsoft Office 2011 that I purchased on line?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the Maverick operating system and now I have to enter the product key when I try to open MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Where can I find the product key in my mac?

Yet another example as to why you should always purchase software on disk whenever possible.

Why does my serial key for Photoshop Elements 7 not work?

Microsoft Word does not work

My Microsoft Word stopped working a few months ago but I don't know why. Can someone please help me? When I open the application, it shows for half a second in my dock and then disappears immediately after.

I suppose for the last month you could have researched your issue on the Microsoft support web area here:

and in particular for Word here:

Microsoft Word 2011 not working after Mavericks upgrade?

After my upgrade to OS X Mavericks yesterday, my Microsoft Office Word 2011 program has not been working properly. After a short while of being open in the background while using other applications, it stops responding and causes the whole computer to act extremely slow. It causes me to Force Quit the application. What can I do to fix this? It never did this before.

You were not using Mavaricks before either.
You will need to contact Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

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.

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to all

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.
