Should i continue with Pages or get Office Mac 2011? Help please...

I am new to the Mac world and have purchased Pages. I have found i cannot make documents in web layout or with only part of the document in columns like in Word 2007 on PC. I want to use the Apple software, not Windows if possible so please correct me if there is a way to do what i would like. If not should i get Office for Mac or wait for a new version of iWork. I do not want to use free software. My school uses both PC's & Mac. School's mac's use both iWork and Office although Office is preferred. I can cope with exporting in Pages if my problems are easily fixed.
Thanks
Rory

Thanks Kenneth that is a cool feature. but now i'll show you the problem with the columns.
Here i have just copied part of a wikipedia article as an example and pasted into Pages.
Now i select the second paragraph
Go to Columns
Then when i select two columns it puts the entire page in two columns not the selected area.
In Word on PC you can have columns in the selected area without the whole dowcument being in columns.

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.

Downloaded LR5 yesterday then installed LRCC today, get to 29 days left on trial panel, press "continue with trial" and get nothing ?

Downloaded LR5 yesterday via installed Creative Cloud Ap. worked fine edited a few photos.
Today I installed PSCC today and it worked fine. Then installed LRCC , get to 29 days left on trial panel, press "continue with trial" and get nothing ? Uninstalled then reinstalled no change, rebooted PC still nothing.
Only a small (11.6" screen 4gb pentium) netbook for backup and some editing while travelling but PSCC works fine.
Not willing to purchase LRCC until I can get trial working.

Hi Everyone,
I found this on another forum. I tried it and it worked for me. Hope it works for you too:
Same problem but solved :
Go to MacHD/Library/Application support/Adobe/SLStore
Delete the last licence file (will have a .lic extension with probably one ziffer). Be sure to delete the last one !
Launch Lightroom again and connect with your Adobe ID

Is pages 11 for iOS compatible with pages 09 on my Mac?

Is pages 11 for iOS compatible with pages 09 on my Mac?

There is no such thing as Pages 11 although the new versions on both the Mac & iOS could be referred to as '13.
Pages '09 cannot open files from the new versions. If you have ugraded to Mavericks you should see an update for Pages in the Mac App Store. Post back if you need help doing that.

IPhone4 syncing with MacPro microsoft Office mac 2011 Outlook

I'm unable to get my new i Phone 4 to sync with my Mac Book Pro using "Microsoft Office Mac 2011", "Outlook" for my email, calendar, contacts & tasks. Can someone help me?

I am having the same issues as you are and I spent about an hour on the phone with Microsoft Office yesterday and they told me that they are still working on a program to resolve this issue. It would have been nice if Apple did not authorize this product until all features where available.
I have many entries in my outlook calendar to transfer it all to ical, as well, i run a business so i do not want meeting invites coming from my mobile.me account - does not look professional. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue until Microsoft comes out with an update for calendars?

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.

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 deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time machine.

By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock? The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it.
If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.

Anybody with isues running office:mac 2011, I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 It ran for years then recenty started giving me error message that it might not be compatible. I tried reinstaling with no luck.11?

I think my problem has been that in Sytem Preferences>Mouse, my "Double-Click Speed" was set to the SLOWEST setting. After some experimentation, I now have the that setting two notches from the "Fast" end of the scale. In case it's important, the "Primary mouse button" in my Preferences is set to "Left".
This not only solves the text selection issues described, but also seems to eliminate the strange "resolving alias to" problem.
[For the curious, I have a Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse which can be configured with "Logitech Control Center". But the LCC software doesn't control double-click speed; this setting can only be made in the Mouse System Preference pane.]

If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.
