Office 2011 For Mac Does Not Work In My Office

photo slideshow software for mac If you can't upgrade your Mac, Office 365 provides full access to its apps and services in the browser at portal.office.com. This includes Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, along with Skype and OneDrive for Business. Office 2011 is the most recent version of Microsoft Office for Mac that will work with Design Science's Equation Editor. I just checked their website today and this issue remains outstanding. If you are doing math or science and need equations, you need to stick to 2011.

Microsoft today for Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which fixes a significant Outlook bug that Office users ran into after upgrading to OS X El Capitan. After installing the new Apple operating system, many Outlook 2011 users found themselves unable to access their mail that caused the app to hang whenever it attempted to access the server.

Users were seeing a spinning Wait cursor whenever a sync was attempted and Outlook would become unresponsive, making it impossible to fetch new emails. The new 14.5.6 update should fix this problem for Outlook users who have installed OS X El Capitan and is a much better fix than Microsoft's previous workaround, which simply suggested users run OS X Yosemite. Though Microsoft has fixed one major bug OS X El Capitan users are running into, there are still. Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint 2016 are crashing for many users, preventing them from being used with OS X El Capitan. Microsoft has said that it is working on a fix for Office 2016, but it has not given a timeline for when users can expect the issues to be solved.

Starting today, Office 365 Groups in Outlook for Mac will be rolling out gradually to Insider Fast over the new few days! With the first update, you can view your top 10 groups in the folder pane and read/compose/reply to group conversations. We are continually adding new capabilities, and you will see them in future updates.

We’ve also created a group where people can ask questions and share feedback on the early bits of Groups on Mac Outlook. Please little r me with your email address if you want to join the group. To join Insider Fast program, open any Office 2016 for Mac application, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, or Outlook. On the Helpmenu, select Check for Updates. Select the check box to Join the Office Insider program, and then choose Insider Fast from the menu.

For more info, please refer to this site: Just to reemphasize, we're rolling this out to Insider Fast and not at 100% yet. Hope to get there on the coming days. So some will start seeing this feature enabled in their app while others won't even though they have the same builds.

I'm not sure what your exact problem is but I would try reinstalling just to omit that possibility from the list. My copy of Microsoft regularly updates itself too and so far they're working perfectly. Although there WAS this one time back when I upgraded to Mavericks that a reinstall was necessary but it doesn't seem to be the case for me now.

Just for the sake of clarification, Have you tried contacting microsoft about the issue? Also which version did you purchase? Office for Mac Home & Student or Office for Mac Home & Business?

I had the same problem with the brand new Outlook 2011. Something within the update to 10.10.2 broke the SQLite library functions, so an older database cannot be read properly. You may need to recreate the primary office identity using the app 'Microsoft Database Utility'. (Note: I run the german version, so you need to adapt the names.) Close all applications and make a backup of your current ID: Home ▸ Documents ▸ Microsoft (User Data) ▸ Office 2011 Identities and copy your identies there by duplicating them.

Go to and open Applications ▸ Microsoft Office 2011 ▸ Office ▸ Microsoft Database Utility Select ID to rebuild and hit the 'Rebuild' button. That takes a while. Logout and login again and fire up Outlook and afterwards Expel, Prowlerpoint and/or WOT.:-). Reinstalling MS Office 2011 for Mac will not solve your problem if you are using an Office 365 subscription. I spoke with Microsoft tech support yesterday and according to her, 'the 2011 software is not compatible with such a new system and have been causing issues with customer's Office software.'

Office 2011 for Mac is not compatible with Yosemite and Microsoft's answer is to wait for the 2016 version, which 'they are working on releasing by the end of the year.' This is odd as I have 2 other Macs in my household that are running Office on Yosemite. It seems to be an issue with the sign in / registration process.

I am not sure if having a license key would bypass this issue.
