Using excel and word

How can i view and and print word and excel docs? Do i have to purchase office? Thanks

Hi Lawrence,
In addition to the suggestions already offered you may also want to look at the following (free) applications which are compatible with MS Office:
1. NeoOffice - http://www.neooffice.org/
2. AbiWord - http://www.abisource.com/

How can I use excel and word on the IPAD2

How can I use excel and word documents on my Ipad 2

There are apps such as Documents To Go which support reading/editting/creating those sorts of documents :
standard version - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8

I need to open and use Excel and Word files on my iPad, which software need to get?

I need to open and use Excel and Word files on my iPad, which software need to get?

The options include :
Apple's Pages app for Word docs and Numbers for Excel spreadsheets
There are also third-party apps which support both word and excel in the one app e.g.Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

Do new Imacs come with Microsoft Excel and Word for Mac installed?

Or do I have to order it in the options when I go to get a new Imac? I use Excel and Word spreadsheets. Thanks.

No.
You would have to purchase these separately through either the Mac App Store, Microsoft or through a third party software sales vendor.
OR you can purchase through the Mac App Store iWork suite of apps that includes Pages (word processor/page layout app) Numbers ( spreadsheet app) and Keynote ( slide and audio/video presentation software).

I use Entourage for all my email and Excel and Word. From time to time one or other will drop out which means re starting the iMac. A real pest.

Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before. Don't have a clue why. I did not make any further changes in anything. Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

I converted a chart to excel and word but it comes out as illegible gibberish that I cannot use. If this is the best I can get from the converter, I need a refund.

After updating my iMac to 10.9.2 it has deleted my excel and word, plus I can no longer connect my Epson printer, I can't even reload it with the disc, how can I fix this?

We updated our computer a while back to 10.9.2, but once it was complete we no longer use excel or word as the files were missing for them, plus our epson printer wouldn't work, it said something like the files for this printer could not be found, we tried to reload the printer using the disc as the printer was less than a year old but the computer would not load it probably, I called epson and they replied that there was a problem with the update and has done something to the mac driver, has anyone else had a problem with this update? and can it be sorted

Don't use the CD--it is almost always out of date. Just add the printer using Print & Scan System Prefs and it should find the correct drivers.
If not, go to the Epson website and download the current ones.
If you need the bundled software that comes on the CD, download it from Epson.
What version of Office was it? 2004 won't run on any OS after 10.6. Office 2008 and 2011 will run.
However, it should not have deleted any of your Documents.
If it was Office 2008 or 2011, try reinstalling it. I've found that Microsoft products have a hard time with change. It's like when you remove the pagoda from a goldfish bowl. To the goldfish, the world around them has changed and they freak out. Sometimes you can calm down the Microsoft products by reinstalling them.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

I want to get an app where i can work power point, excel, and word?

i heard about keynote, numbers, and letters. I tried to find it, but i couldnt. Thank you for your patience and effort,

I would suggest using Office for Mac and you need to buy it at a physical Apple store or downlaod from Microsoft. It is a fully functioning and compatible with MS Office. It's about 150$.
I tried the various Apple products - like Numbers- and they are not as sophisticated as the Office products. As well, if you are going to store Office products in the Apple icloud then they get converted to the various Apple i-products - ugh, it make s a mess.
So I store all my Powerpoint, Excel and Word documents on Skydrive cloud where they are stored as native office products.
Cheers

Excel and Word 2011 crash on opening

I'm not sure if this is a more common issue from earlier versions of office, but with the combination of Lion and Office 2011 I am having repeated issues. For reference I am using a new Mac Air i5 with plenty of disk space and memory.
In summary, Excel and Word worked for a while, but once a file crashes for some reason then I cannot open either application at all - just stuck in the endless loop of crash on attempting open and then re-open to no effect.
I have tried several solutions including:
- complete office re-install (worked for a few days until the next crash)
- holding "shift" (no effect)
- deleting temp files and plist files following online forum advice (no effect)
Note: I am not using complex excel files with macros (etc), just dropbox copies of simple spreadsheets.
Can anyone else offer an alternative solution?

Hi!
I got this crash as well. followed the instructions to delete the plist file and holding the shiftkey did not work for me. The is the bit that bites...removed Office 2011 as per instructions and still only Excel does not work.
Anyone know of a solution? Seems like the latest update on my machine was a Java update from Apple.
Here is my error log.

What about programs like excel and word? college students need these!!!

college students need to be able to access files, send files, and store files using the programs excel and word, why cant i have these on my iphone?

You can email then to your iphone.
Use plain text format when emailing them.
But as for saving them and editing them on the iphone, you can't.
You cannot save or download and save to memory on the iphone.
Hope this helps.

PDF creating - Excel and Word - page size

When using PDF maker in Excel and Word, A4 always gets converted to US Letter size. Is there any way of correcting this?

"an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

Can I free download excell and word with mac

I would like to download free excell and word. I can find many offer. Are there any risk to get VIRUS? Any suggested website?

Hi,
The above advice is sound.
If you see free versions of Office or components like Word and Excel separately, then they are likely to be trouble.
Mostly that are likely to include Malware, possibly Trojans but Viruses are are unlikely as there is no recorded Mac OS X virus in the wild (Anywhere outside Lab conditions).
That is not to say that there will not be a Virus at some point and a free download is just the sort of vehicle those bad people will use.
