    OK, I thought it was since there are often offers of Office for educators, etc, at reduced prices.  And when I bought my MBP they offered to install Office.

  • Microsoft Word on Macbook Air

    I have a new Macbook Air and Microsoft Word spell check and autocorrect keep using British spellings for words even though I am American.  For example "Favorite" is spelled "Favourite" and "Color" is spelled "Colour".  Can anyone advise me on how to change the default?  My Mac shows an American flag on the top of the page next to the battery icon so it's not that . . . .
    Thanks for any help!

    Thank you so much for your amazingly fast response. It worked and I really appreciate it.  I hope that if you ever have a questions someone else with the knowledge helps you out as quickly as you helped me!

  • What is the best site to get microsoft word for macbook air?

    new macbook owner I bought the pages app but I still need my microsoft word ?? I saw a few places to download but they did not mention what is compatible with the macbook.

    Cheap, but with some risk: Ebay
    Inexpensive, no risk: Staples, Best Buy, Office Depot or Office Max. (one of them seems to always be running a sale on Office for Mac Home and Student for $99.00.
    You can always try Amazon, too.
    Remember: Even if you buy the DVD at a store, you can still download afterwards from Microsoft, and then just use the Key that comes with the box purchase of Office you bought. That way, you don't have to worry about finding a means of using that DVD with yoru MBA.

  • Adding Microsoft Word to Macbook Air

    Hi,
    I have the microsoft office cd but with no cd drive, i cant add it to my air.
    I know there has to be a way to do this.
    Help, plz

    Both excellent options - there's also a guy in this community whose name I don't remember (forehead slap) but I followed his advice for downloading to my Air and it took like 2 mins. If you have the DVD already open it on another computer and drag the install to a thumb drive. Bung your thumb drive in your Air, drag it to desktop and install. Worked perfectly

  • Hello. On my Macbook air late 2013 model I am having a problem where microsoft word for mac just stops working for soon reason and at the screen where the document should be is just gray and does not even display the document. Does anybody have a fix?

    Hello. On my MacBook Air late 2013 model I am having a problem with Microsoft office word for Mac where the window for the document becomes all gray and I can not see anything that I have typed or any menus for it and also windows will sometimes dissapear and I am having truble getting them back. If anyone has anyideas of what is going on or could even help me thank you.

    Glad that helped.
    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge  feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

    I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

    •OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
    {According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
    but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
    sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
    •HP Support Forum - Home:

    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

    word has stopped working on my macbook air, i have used it before and powerpoint etc are all still working, but i can no longer open word or word files can anyone help?

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

  • How do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

    how do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

    Purchase it.  Here's one link to an Amazon site to buy one of the many Office configurations:

    You would receive Office on a CD, and need a disk drive for your MacBook Air to access so you could download the software.

  • Word processing app for macbook air

    Whats the best app to get for essay writing for the Macbook air??
    I need something with a spell checker and word count facility and obviously
    user friendly when I upload the essay to submit electronically,
    Thanks

    Your Air has Apple Pages built in. That should work fine. Depending what format your electronic essay system requires, you may have to export to either Word or PDF, both of which Pages can do.
    Alternatively, Libreoffice (libreoffice.com) is free and has most of the features of Microsft Office. You can of course buy Office but that's the most expensive option.

  • How can I use the F11 short cut to go to next field in Microsoft Word 2011 on Macbook Air

    How can I use the F11 short cut to go to next field in Microsoft Word 2011 on Macbook Air?

    The default setting for the function keys is that they do OS X functions.
    To get a regular function hold the fn key and then press the function key.
    This action can be reversed in keyboard preferences.

  • Need "Next Page" keyboard command--Word, Macbook Air

    Is there a keyboard command that will take me to the top of the next page in Word 2011 on a MacBook Air?  I can creep up and down the existing page using Fn + right/left arrows.  I can go to the top and bottom of the file using Fn + Command + left/right arrows.  I want to go to the TOP of the next page (Page Down) and googling isn't turning up anything that works.

    I sure wish it did!  fn + down arrow only takes me down the existing page, and randomly, not even paragraph-by-paragraph but randomly, when what I want is to have the cursor anywhere on a given page, then use a keyboard shortcut to move it to the top of the next page, and then to the top of the next page:  just going next page, next page, next page.  I'm trying to work on the first assignment in a writing class at the University of Washington and am obsessed with this problem because I'm going to be writing a lot of papers and really need to get around efficiently on this new laptop.  I work on a PC and haven't used a Mac for about 8 years, so it's getting a little crazy over here.
