Hello, I recently updated my Mac computer to macOS Catalina. My Microsoft Office 2011 does not work for this operating system, but I cannot update to Microsoft 365 as Catalina is not compatible. Is there an update I can use to allow my 2011 version of MS Office to work on Catalina? Thanks!

The most recent version of Microsoft 365 compatible with Catalina is 16.66.1 which is obsolete but still can be downloaded as described in this existing thread:Download Word for Mac Catalina 10.15.7

Office 2011 cannot work on Catalina, there is no update that will make it work
But Microsoft Office 35 version 16.66 will work on your MAC, you can download it from the below link.
I kindly await a reply for a follow-up.
Best Regards Fuad
