Oct 11, 2019 Want to update to macOS Catalina but can't justify losing access to all the outdated 32-bit apps I rely on (looking at you Microsoft Word for Mac 2011). Oct 07, 2015 Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering. For more information about subscriptions, see Frequently Asked Questions. This update has prerequisites. Oct 07, 2015 To verify that the computer meets this prerequisite, click About This Mac on the Apple menu. To verify that Office for Mac 2011 14.1.0 is installed on your computer, follow these steps: On the Go menu, click Applications. Open the Microsoft Office 2011 folder, and then start any Office application. (For example, start Microsoft Word). Sep 07, 2017 For more information about this update, please visit the Microsoft Web site. Applies to: Office 2011, Office 2011 Home and Business Edition, Word 2011, Excel 2011, PowerPoint 2011, Outlook 2011, Office for Mac Standard 2011 Edition, Microsoft Office for Mac Home & Student 2011, and Microsoft Office for Mac Academic 2011.
I want to create a Word document on my Mac Pro laptop, but I will give it to my colleagues, who will edit it and use it on Windows. I have to do the same with a PowerPoint document. Does that work without a conversion?
Ii've just purchased office.mac 2011, and office home and student 2010. which file extension should I save my documents for word, excel and power point to be able to go back and both between my pc and my MacBook air?

The default file formats should be fine. If you want to be safe, save it in .doc, .xls, and .ppt format or export to PDF.
It will work without conversion, if both parties (you and your colleague) are using compatible versions of MS Office. By 'compatible' I mean that either you both have recent versions, or you both have older versions. If not, you can save the files to work in other versions.
In Office 2007 for Windows (and 2008 for Mac, I believe), the default file extensions for Office documents were changed. For example, a Word document used to have the file extension '.doc', but starting with Office 2007/2008, the default file extension is '.docx'. Older versions of Office (2003 and earlier for Windows, 2004 and earlier for Mac) aren't able to read and edit .docx files. There are compatibility plugins that enable the older versions to read newer files, but not everybody has those.
If you are using Office 2008 or later on your Mac, you should first ask your colleagues what version(s) they are using. If it's 2007 or later, you'll have no problems. If it's earlier than that, then you can simply save your documents in earlier formats. This is done in the 'Save' dialogue box, by clicking the drop-down menu that allows you to choose what file type you want to use. Select the one that matches the version your colleagues are using, and they'll be able to use and edit the document without any problems.
If you have an older version of Office and your colleagues have a newer version, you don't need to do anything. The newest versions are all backward-compatible, meaning that they can use older formats by default, with no conversion or special saving necessary.
With macOS, you can move all the information from your old PC to your new Mac. Built-in Windows-to-Mac migration in macOS automatically transfers your documents, music, contacts, calendars and email accounts (Outlook and Windows Live Mail), and puts them in the appropriate folders and applications on your new Mac. Just like that.
If you buy your Mac at an Apple Store, Personal Setup can help you get off to a great start.
Every Mac comes with Pages, Numbers and Keynote — powerful productivity apps from Apple that help you create stunning documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You can collaborate with one person or many people to create and edit Pages, Keynote and Numbers files. And everyone can work on the same document at the same time — from across town or across the globe. You can also open, edit and save Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with these apps, so you can easily work with others, regardless of whether they’re on a Mac or PC.
Fun fact: there’s a version of Microsoft Office written just for Mac. So you can use Word, Excel and PowerPoint on a Mac just like on a PC.
macOS also provides built-in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server. So you can use all the apps you love on your Mac, and have access to your mail, contacts and calendar from the office, all at the same time. Microsoft r open on mac.
Your Mac comes with iCloud Drive, which lets you safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images and any other kinds of files in iCloud. Then you can access them from any device, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.1
Thanks to its support for industry standards, macOS works with virtually all email providers and websites. It also lets you view the most common file types, including Office documents, PDFs, images, text files, MP3s, videos, ZIP files and more.
So if you’re moving files from a PC, or if your friends and colleagues send you files, you can rest assured they’ll work beautifully on your Mac.
Almost any device that connects to a computer via USB, audio cable or Bluetooth will work with a Mac. That includes digital cameras, external hard drives, printers, keyboards, speakers and even your right-click mouse. And with technologies like AirPrint and the array of class drivers included with macOS, you can start using these devices as soon as you plug them in — no need to manually download additional software.
Have a Windows application you need to use once in a while? No problem. Every new Mac lets you install and run Windows at native speeds, using a built-in utility called Boot Camp.
Setup is simple and safe for your Mac files. After you’ve completed the installation, you can boot up your Mac using either macOS or Windows. (That’s why it’s called Boot Camp.) Or if you want to run Windows and Mac applications at the same time — without rebooting — you can install Windows using VMware or Parallels software.2
The Finder not only lets you browse files on your Mac, it also makes it easy to find files on other computers — both Mac and PC — on your home network. Computers that allow file sharing automatically show up in the Shared section of the Finder sidebar, allowing you to browse files and folders you have permission to view.
