What does "save" do in MS Office 11 for the mac?

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask this in, but here goes:
Using MS Office 11 for the mac, if I view mail in my inbox, and click "Save" in the file menu, what does this do? Where is the file saved? "Save As" is grayed out, so this doesn't work. "Save" is NOT grayed out, so I assume it does something, but what?
thanks!

You're right.  Post on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • Does Lion allow Office for the Mac operate as it has been doing on Leopard? Or do I have to buy a new Office package?

    I am reading that Office for the Mac does not work with Lion. Has anyone had this problem and how might it be solved?

    Office for Mac 2004 will not work. Newer versions will.

    What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

    You could also have a look at the following www.rollapp.com, I have only recently found it.
    You have access to the full OpenOffice and LibreOffice library of program's  and it syncs with Dropbox,google docs and others.
    You do require an Internet connection as it is cloud based.
    At present I have only used it for quick editing but I think it definitely looks promising and it is free

  • Microsoft Office for the mac no longer is supported because it is a PPC App? Recourse?

    What on earth is this power delegated to themselves to take away without fair notice that even applications bought through the apple store such as Microsoft Office for the mac, can no longer be supported because it is a PowerPC application.  Since this was purchased through Apple, do they not offer an alternative?
    I must call Rosetta Stone now also, huh?  All this money wasted just because Apple has made the decision to f everyone?

    Microsoft Office is not an Apple product. It is not up to Apple to support it regardless of where you purchased it.
    Unless you want to learn a new language, don't purchase Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is language training software. Rosetta is the codename of the technology that allowed PowerPC code to run on an Intel-based Mac.
    Rosetta was based on code now owned by IBM. Since Apple does not own it, it can't just arbitrarily make it available to you to run the software that has been updated not once, but twice since the PowerPC platform was abandoned.
    You might try asking IBM to write you some software to run your old programs, or you can update them to something newer. If that cost is too expensive, you might consider one of the alternative Office-type suites such as Open Office, Libre Office, or NeoOffice.
    iWork is also an alternative, but it is not free. The three individual parts, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, each cost $20 on the Mac App Store.

  • OFFICE for the Mac, want lines on PPT slides to appear one at a time

    I want to display lines on a ppt slide one line at a time/
    I used to be able to do this by selecting Slideshow, Custom Automation, then "Appear"
    I am using OFFICE for the Mac (2008).
    But something has changed and I can no longer figure out how to get each line on a PPT slide to appear one line at a time every time I click it.
    It's not that difficult, but I can't figured out where they moved the "Appear" option.
    I am NOT using KEYNOTE, but PowerPoint from OFFICE for the Mac (2008)
    Can someone help me.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    etresoft: 
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
    That info is exactly what I was looking for.
    I tried it and it worked like a charm.
    The older version of PowerPoint that I was familiar didn't have the "Add Entrance" step.
    I knew that some smart and caring person would answer my plea for help.
    Thanks again.

  • What are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac?

    I have been editing with Final Cut Express since 05 and I want to be able to do fancy visual effects I cannot do with Final Cut Express so I put it to you; what are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac? I know there is Adobe After Effects but I am wondering if there are any others, including from Apple.

    Or does it? Because by purchasing Motion, you also get the Pro Res codecs and Animation. Will FCE be able to work with them if they're in your QT library? I think so but am not positive. I'd check with the FCE gurus in that discussion forum.
    So I half answered my own question. FCE will respect the alpha channel in a PR 4444 file. But from the limited testing I was able to to, there doesn't seem to be a way to export it ( or other flavors of PR) as a PR sequence. It renders as AIC, which is fine. FWIW, it can always be exported as Pro Res via QT Conversion, but why bother?
    However,  I now have to say – despite what I said in my first post – that I'm not 100% percent certain that the all the codecs will be available by buying Motion. I'm like 95% sure, the more I think about it. But I have too much NLE and graphics "stuff" on my systems to test it conclusively.

  • Office for the Mac - file open slowness, freeze, or crash

    When I select the File - Open window, any of the Office programs take a few minutes to display all of my files in the Documents folder. When they are finally displayed, any attempt to scroll through the list or go to a specific file results in the Mac's spinning wheel being displayed. Quite often, nothing happens after the wheel stops spinning. Sometimes, it just continues to spin. Consequently, it is almost impossible to use the File - Open window in Office to select a file to open. The only way I can do so is to use Finder to display my files in the Documents folder and then selecting them in that program's File - Open window.
    When the wheel is spinning, Force Quit says that the specific Office program being used is "not responding." Usually, I use Force Quit to close down the Office program if it has frozen, crashed, or been slow using the File Open window.
    I spent an hour yesterday with Microsoft Support on the problem. The conclusion of the tech was that I had too many files in my Documents folder. I pointed out that other programs such as FileMaker Pro didn't have this problem. The tech's response was that Office has to scan the entire Documents folder every time the File Open window is opened, but that FileMaker Pro stores a list of the last files in the Documents folder and doesn't rebuild the list every time.
    I am skeptical of this "answer." The problem didn't exist until a few months ago.
    My computer is a MacBook Pro 2.3gHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive which has about 500GB free. This is a fairly fast machine with a Geekspeed of 10688. I was running the latest Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1. The problem first surfaced with Office for the Mac 2008 about 3-4 months ago running Mac OS 10.10.1. I installed Office 365 yesterday, and and Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.2 today, and nothing changed.
    The only solution that I know of is to take a lot of time to segregate my files in the Documents folder into more subfolders (I already have quite a few). That I am loath to do, because the solution doesn't work very well. It takes about a minute to select a subfolder in the File Open window, and then about another 30 seconds before Office allows me to scroll through a relatively small number of files (e.g., 100 files) in the subfolder.
    When this question was posted to the Microsoft Community, I was directed to an article talking about problems with Office and Mac OS. None of the solutions worked, probably because the article considered only Office X and Office 2004 for the Mac and OS 10.2 and 10.3.
    Help, please!

    1) Verify that Office is fully updated. v14.4.7
    2) I suggest you run Font Book and vailidate your Fonts. Microsoft installs duplicate fonts and after you clean up your fonts, this has often fixed odd issues with Office.
    Office 2011 Duplicate Fonts to Delete
    3) Delete the com.apple.LaunchServices file in your User's Library/Preferences folder. Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar and test. More info
    If this fails to fix....
    Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
    Put a few test files in the Shared folder. Data in the Shared folder can be accessed by another User. When you "Switch Users", you can access the files in the shared folder. After you log into the new test User, drag from Shared (it actually copies). Put the test files in Documents.
    Open Word. It won’t be in the Dock in the new User. Go to Applications to open.
    Do you still see the issue?
    If yes, you can eliminate the number of files in your Documents folder.
    If no, then you might want to do a clean up in Documents.
    *Remember to drag files back from Shared when you log into your main User.

  • Issues with Adobe Acrobat, leopard, Office for the Mac 2008

    since I upgraded to leopard, it's been a nightmare. Office 2008 for Mac won't print Word or Excel documents, Adobe Acrobat 8 won't convert docx. files to PDFs and now has corrupted some existing PDFs. Anyone have similar problems and any answers out there yet?
    Yearning for the simplicity of Windows.

    No. All that works fine for me. Running 10.5.2 and Adobe Acrobat and Office 2008 all work perfectly well.
    Your problem likely stems from upgrading over an already corrupted system. My suggestion is to reinstall from scratch (Erase and Install.)

  • I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

    I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

    The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
    You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
    Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

  • What is it with Facebook on Safari for the Mac?

    Only app open and there I am with 20GB of RAM on a Mac Pro and I'm watching available Memory spiral down to nothing. Who said Facebook s***s? I've been wondering why the machine was running slow and blaming Aperture. Then discovered memory rapidly becoming available once Safari (or the Tab running facebook) was closed. Any suggestions?

    I don't think there is. Codewarrior is not a supported compiler for Windows, and CIN need to be compiled differntly on Mac then they do on Windows.

  • Is there any spyware out there for the mac?

    Been looking at spyware to monitor teenager's activities on the iphone 5. Seems they all want Jailbreak installed, but I understand that ruins the warranty on the phone. I don't want to do that, or anything illegal. But, we do need to monitor his activities. Any other programs out there? Thanks a ton. I know...the logical thing to do would be to take away the phone, but teachers contact him there, as well as sports coaches, and his own boss sends his hours there. And, with Find My Phone, we can track him. So, we would rather him have the phone, but need to watch it closer.
    Thanks.

    I don't think there are any. Any kind of subscription service would require DRM. The only type of DRM that the iPods accept are Fairplay which is exclusively used by Apple.

    Is it similar to operate as Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC?
    Yes, of course that is why I recommend them as office-compatible apps for iOS.  That is exactly what they are designed for - to allow you to work with your MS Office documents on your iOS device.
    I'm not sure of the current price, but if you search the app store, they are very easy to find - Docs2Go and QuickOffice have been amongst the top ranked MS Office-type apps for several years now.  Both also include a means to move files from your computer to your iOS device (QuickOffice uses an embeded file server over wifi, and Docs2Go has a free companion sync app for your computer).
