Syncing Office for Mac Files with ICloud

I am using Office for Mac on both my iMac and Air. I want to sync my Word, Powerpoint and Excel files between the computers using ICloud. Can/how do I do this?

Office for Mac does not support iCloud.
You can save Office files to iCloud using Pages, Numbers and Keynote instead of Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Syncing Office for Mac Calender with ICal / IPhone etc

I have just installed 30 day trial of Office for Mac on my IMac running mount Lion.
So, I m temporarily running calenders in Office and ICal (the calenders are the same, not seperated for different people or groups or the like).
When I add an event to Office it updates ICal fine, but ICal doesn't update ICloud and so my Iphone and Ipad dont get updated either.
I've just tested by updating the ICal calnder and that updates Iphone, Ipad and Icloud fine, but not the Office Calender.
any ideas?
thanks

Outlook 2011 for Mac does not support DAV standards. iCloud uses DAV services for Contacts and Calendars. They will not appear in Outlook, sorry.

Can't sync Outlook for Mac Calendar with iCloud

I've just updated my Macbook Pro to OS X and now I can't get my Outlook for Mac 2013 (14.3.9) Calendar to sync with my iPhone 5. It seems iTunes no longer allows for syncing calendars and it all has to happen via iCloud. Is this correct? How do I get them to sync, then? I've looked in other discussions (from a while ago) and none of those fixes are working. Thanks in advance!

Thank you, randers4. Not the solution I wanted but I am glad to get an answer. I'd thought that since the support articles I'd seen came out before the latest update (you're right, I do have 2011) that maybe there was a work-around. Of course all of this has been discovered after I entered my three kids' baseball/softball practice and game schedules into Outlook. Any quick and dirty way to transfer it all over?
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me. Copious amounts of time has been wasted on this issue and I'l be glad to move forward.
Warmly,
Sara

How Do i sync office for mac with contacts,calendars for mac

I am trying to integrate the MS office for mac and the standard mac calendar and contacts. i would like them to sync as i use outlook for emails and Calander in mac and appointments don't sync nor can i get the contacts to sync.

Sim[le answer is that you can't. Unless and until Microsoft add the functions needed to Outlook. Right now if you want to sync Microsoft Outlook you'll need to use Microsoft Exchange

How do i sync Outlook for Mac contacts with apples address book ???

How do I sync outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with Address book. I updated the itunes or apple updates and it erased my contacts from the address book. I did have is set up where the they automaticaly updated back and forth but now I can not find how to check this. Bottom line I want my contacts back to address book. ??????? anyone.

Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact (or calendar) syncing with iCloud because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV (and CalDAV) protocals that are required (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915). You'll have to use the OS X Address Book (Contacts) app to sync with iCloud.

Office for Mac issues with Lion

Since installing Lion, I no longer have access to my Office for Mac Excel, Word, or PowerPoint...is there a simple fix for this?

Both my wife and I use Excel and Word for work.......would you recommend, then that the upgrade would make sense, as our version is pretty old, anyway?
If you don't use Outlook then you could use one of the freebies, Open Office or Libre Office are often recommended, but they are not 100% compatible with MS Office, there will be minor formatting changes, and if you use VBA or Excel macros to help in your work you will have to do without them.
Buy Office 2011 Home & Student for Mac (no Outlook) should be around $100, if you and your wife have individual computers you will need 2 copies.

Office for mac compatible with OS X Yosemite?

Just wondered if I will have issues with Office for Mac after loading Yosemite? I need the Office for Mac programs to run my business and can't afford losing the data. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

If you believe that then I have this bridge for sale you might like to buy.
Perhaps you should read a bit more closely. I'm quite aware the current version of Office is missing much of what the Windows version can do. I clearly stated the Mac version is far behind.
The current version is Office 2011 for Mac. As you can see (it was actually released late 2010), it hasn't been updated a bit over four years. It is mostly compatible with any documents created in the Windows versions of Office, but newer features of Office 2013 for Windows may not open as expected under the last boxed Mac version.
The older email Mac client version of Entourage, and the current email client Outlook, have always been behind (often, far behind) the capabilities of the Windows versions.
The upcoming simultaneous Windows and Mac versions of Office 2015 are supposed to be feature equivalent. When MS closed the Mac Division, it didn't just go away, it was merged with the Windows division so they are developed together instead of separately.

Cannot open Office for mac files since update

Updated to Maverick 10.9.5 and since then I cannot open existing excel, word files. It will allow you to open a new workbook but will not save nor open an existing file. It says "cannot open workbook" and " does not recognise invalid Character"
Any ideas

I suggest you post your question on the MIcrosoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having trouble with...

Will iCloud work with office for mac

If i'm reading the blurb on the website correctly i can only get to see an Microsoft office word document on iCloud if i email it.
Is this correct.
I want to use Office for Mac but be able to see and edit or finish the document on my iPad and iPhone.
Is this possible with iCloud

There are options out there other than iCloud for
cloud storage and syncing (and also not as limited).
Dropbox is one choice. If working with Windows
computers as well, One Drive is very good option
(especially with Win8).

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

I was going to purchase Office for Mac 2011, including Outlook. However, I am hearing many problems with this software including the inability to sync Outlook with iPhone and iPad

I currently sync my iPhone and iPad with Outlook on my Windows Desktop, but want to switch and still do this on my new Mac running Lion. However what I am reading about the nightmares of syncing with Outlook in Office for Mac 2011 is making me think twice about going down this road. What an awful situation of purchasing a Mac and being potentially stumped by 'Office for Mac 2011'.
I want to continue using Microsoft Office including Outlook for my business applications - but on the Mac. I like Keynote for presentations, however I also have to create presentations in PowerPoint for some business situations. So, although I don't ideally want to put Windows onto my Mac, would it be more efficient and less hassle to use Parallels 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010, rather than endure the issues associated with OFM 2011?
If I decide to use Parallels 7 and Windows 7 am I then into using software to protect against virus' and malware?
I wouldn't be asking this question if Office for Mac 2011 (including Outlook) wasn't a problem - sadly from what I'm reading, it is.
Thank you in anticipation.

I just resolved my Outlook 2010 + iPhone Calendar sync issue today : if you have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook (like I do), then you'll find that each account has it's own Calendar (a rather pointless feature IMO). However you probably only use one Calendar like most people, and what has happened is that the mail account which is set as default for Data Files is not the one you are using. Try this:
Outlook 2010 --> Account Settings --> click "Data Files" tab --> select as default whichever acct. is associted with the Calendar you use.

Office 365 - How sync Outlook for MAC with Iphone

Hello everyone,
I just bought a Macbook air and I use a trial version of Office 365 for MAC (I will have to by it I guess). How can I sync my outlook (calendar, contacts, task) with my Iphone???
I had a pc before (using Office and Outlook 2007) and I was able throught Itunes to sync my contacts and my calendar. But not, I don't anymore this option in Itunes??? The only way is throught iCloud? I tried and I wasn't able to sync with Outlook.
I enabled 'Sync Services' in Outlook but it doesn't works grrrrr
It look likes if the only way is throught iCloud???? How it works???
I choose Office 365 because it must have a new Office for MAC in 2014 and it will be "free" for the Office 365 subscribers. That's why I didn't buy Office for Mac.
And what's the difference with the defaut calendar in Outlook 2011 for MAC (Office 365) with the calendar 'On my computer'? Something to do with the backup?
Thank you everyone, your help will be very appreciate

Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
What's the smoothest solution?
- Mike

Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004
FWIW

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
